ER is the perfect show to watch amid the coronavirus pandemic

The New York Times

"It is absolutely time to start watching ER, and for a number of reasons: First, it’s one of the all-time greats and it holds up better than just about anything else," says Margaret Lyons of the 15-season NBC medical drama that is currently streaming on Hulu. "Second, and more relevant for our present circumstances, it’s about people who are trying. And that is the big focus right now —  to try. To affirm people’s dignity and your own; to help when you can and rest when you must; to learn and then do better. The prize is a life you can be proud of and a community to be part of, and if you enjoy some smooching along the way, well hey, what a bonus. You will also learn how to scrub your hands properly!"
