Tales of the Lockdown

2020 · 1 season

A quick, uneven anthology of pandemic-era stories that swings from silly to sinister, easy to dip into but rarely memorable.

Overview: An apprentice hit man who wants to surpass his mentor, two friends whom everyone except themselves sees as a couple, a Real Madrid football player about to embark on an acting career, a serial killer with a heart who finds his soul mate and a corrupt landowner cornered when a “parcel” arrives at his door make up these five self-contained stories, ranging from romantic comedy to drama, as well as terror, dark humour and thriller.
How it feels: Satirical, dark, light and romantic. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Love, crime, identity, obsession
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
