How many are uncomfortable watching some TV in the age of Covid?

I have a friend who works in the industry and I know the shows she is working on they are taking all the precautions. Closed sets those who can work remotely do. Everyone who isn't on camera where masks. Those who are not needed on set are isolated in rooms. They are tested regularly and are required to meet standards off set. I know there are shows that are trying to do that an I am okay watching those shows but I have seen clips of some shows and I just cringe. How do you have a live audience and sitting/standing so close together.


I understand the need to work and for entertainment but I feel if you aren't taking precautions I don't want to give the show my time.

I am watching and re-watching older shows.

I don’t cringe, mostly laugh. E.g., how in Law&Order SVU they remove masks exactly when they should be wearing them and vice versa. My understanding the crew gets tested every single day so I’m totally fine with it.

they’re adults and how they live their lives is up to them. And I watch nothing where people wear masks or that has COVID as a plot point. The last thing I want to do is relax in the evening and have to think of COVID.
