The Bite
Created by Robert King, Michelle King
On Spectrum
A darkly comedic character study of two neighbors coping with pandemic isolation, balancing humor and vulnerability across a brief, intimate run.
During an unexpected, deadly second wave of the coronavirus outbreak in New York City, two neighbors, Rachel and Lily, navigate life in quarantine. While Rachel juggles her many telemedicine clients as well as a shaky, passionless marriage, Lily is upstairs just trying to convince her Wall Street clientele that her very specific skillset is still just as valuable over video as it was in person.
