What I liked

I love the use of poetry in this show, it was wonderful poem and it worked beautifully in the transitions from one scene into the next. A poem that reminded us that the intention of technology and social media was supposed to bring us closer together but instead it divided us even further, and a global pandemic where we had to be alone in order to be safe sadly made it even worse.

What I didn't like

I get weary about these kinds of shows because they have a tendency to be preachy but what I like about this piece is that it presents both sides of argument fairly and it focuses less on the politics and more on the humanity and how tragic our humanity has become due to politics splitting us up as a human race.

My overall impression

This beautifully captured the tragedy of our humanity as a country and as a world at large. I loved the different scenes and the way flowed together. This piece is a reflective time capsule that reminds us where we are as society right now in 2020 and 2021, for better or for worse.
