Hope they keep filming. I found the lockdown episode very entertaining. Baking, being scared, overly cautious and going nuts - that's all we were doing few months ago. Very relatable.

All of us during the 1st lockdown

Cringeworthy delight!

Everyone can appreciate a well-written, well-acted, nicely-shot piece of entertainment. Conversely, nobody likes poorly-written work, especially in today's age of entertainment on demand. However! When something jumps the shark to so bad, so nails-on-chalkboard horrible, it becomes enjoyable again. It's like eating a spicy pepper or sucking on a lemon, it's not exactly pleasurable, but you do it anyway because it provides some level of enjoyment.
Enter "the Lockdown Plan". Every stereotype about annoying young people gets amplified by a factor of 100. Each of the girls are more detestable than the other. The star of the show becomes obsessed with global warming, not showering, and bakes cakes for the caregivers. Secretly everyone was hoping to see her choke on a cake. Search your feelings, you know it to be true. In another scene, she throws her menstrual blood on her boyfriend's face in the name of again, global warming. And we are supposed to believe he stays with her, lol.
The married friend live streams her utterly ordinary life via Instagram, in some sad desperation for low-level celebrity. All while her caregiver husband works to put food on the plate. Another friend is so frightened of COVID that she seals her apartment in plastic and refuses to open the door for her brother. Yet miraculously, several scenes later, decides to offer her services by driving caregivers to and from work in her enclosed petri dish mini cooper.
This is on the same level as "Eat Pray Love" in terms of sheer vapid, narcissistic, drivel. As someone who works with, and mentors many young adults, it's rare to find ones who live up to these repugnant stereotypes. They are by large, good pragmatic people and polar opposites of the dimwitted twits depicted in this dumpster fire (which I thoroughly enjoyed).

This episode is the best short movie about lockdown

I liked the 1st season a lot, the 2nd one not so much. But this episode is perfect. It is worth the wait and it could work as a separate short film about the lockdown.
Every character represents one of us, baking, helping, panicking. I would recommend it also to people that didn't follow the whole series.
