We're all looking for a little distraction amidst the anxiety due to being confined to our homes! While we'd love to get out of our abodes and live a little, it's a safety precaution that's become a necessity to stay away from the coronavirus scare. To take our minds of the pandemic, there's the option of binge-watching old and new series that are available to us on various platforms. Amongst the new shows that have caught our eyes is HBO's Run, a romantic comedy starring Merritt Weaver and Domhnall Gleeson as the leads.

Merritt and Domhnall are underrated acting talents who finally get their well deserved due to shine in the spotlight with Run. While Pinkvilla definitely approves of Run, as judged by the four-star rating we gave the new show, even Twitterati has been praising the romantic comedy, which has an edgy, twisted effect, reminiscent of Fleabag! Interestingly, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who is a frequent collaborator with Run's creator, Vicky Jones, is an executive producer on the series and even has a brief cameo!

Check out how Twitterati reacted to Merritt Weaver and Domhnall Gleeson's new series, Run, below:



1) Struggles to choose between an aisle and window plane seat
2) Sprints across Grand Central in low-heel booties
3) Is willing to upend her life for Domhnall Gleeson

Meanwhile, in an interview with Uproxx, when asked what appealed to him most about playing Billy Johnson in Run, Domhnall revealed, "Well, he seems to be in love. He seems to be a bit of a liar, and he seems to be a weird mix of controlling and very eager to please. And he was on a journey, like, I didn’t know what was going to happen to him next."

"I didn’t know how his story would end, and I thought that was a very good thing in terms of wondering where this guy could go, and what I could discover. Most of all, I thought that he was in love, and he was changing his life to try and chase this, or so we think. Or we hope. And I found that very appealing," Gleeson added to Uproxx.
