Apple has released a new free series named Oprah Talks COVID-19 on Apple TV+. As the name suggests, you will see Oprah Winfrey and a few others talk about the novel coronavirus pandemic in the series.
“How can we mindfully move through a crisis while holding on to ourselves and our humanity? In this series, Oprah has remote conversations with experts and everyday people to provide insight, meaning, and tangible advice for the human spirit.”, reads the show’s description.
To give you a quick idea regarding what to expect from the series, it is mainly Oprah discussing the situation with actor Idris Elba who recently tested positive for coronavirus and his wife Sabrina Dhowre Elba over FaceTime calls.
