There isn’t a coronavirus vaccine yet but that isn’t stopping HBO from turning the hunt for one into a limited series.
Deadline reports that the premium cable network and Adam McKay are developing an adaptation of journalist Brenan Borrell’s “The First Shot” book proposal on the subject.

Now, more than 9 million people have contracted the disease and nearly 500,000 have lost their lives in the fight against the infectious virus. In the wake of this dark hour, misinformation and rumormongering can have devastating effects that’ll further cripple our societies. And seeing as how our social lives have essentially come to a halt, compelling us to spend most of our free time at home, binging our way through Netflix specials and occasionally chilling in the process seems like the only worthwhile entertainment these days.

Unfortunately, however, what could’ve been a truly compelling story is lessened significantly by a weak script and cheesy dialogue.
