What happens

Social Distance is an American anthology television miniseries created by Hilary Weisman Graham that premiered on October 15, 2020, on Netflix. The series was "conceived, cast and executed entirely remotely during quarantine". The eight-part series, set during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, focuses on how families, friends, and couples were forced to cope with the effects of quarantine as well as the Black Lives Matter protests following the murder of George Floyd. Each episode tells a different story and shows "the power of the human spirit in the face of uncertainty and isolation," and how technology was used to stay connected during quarantine.
