There isn’t a weak link in The Morning Show. Aniston is flawless. ... Everyone else – especially Billy Crudup as the network suit playing seven-dimensional chess with everyone – matches her point for point. The script has depth and endless torque and the whole thing is an exhilarating rush that makes room for nuance, thought and – though it’s definitely a drama – humour.

What they arrive at by the end of the third episode is at least something soapily effective, an entertaining knot of contemporary babble that manages at times to emit a ring of truth. Aniston and Witherspoon are strong complements to one another, earning their enormous paychecks (each were paid a reported $1.25 million per episode) by riding this voluminous wave with confident precision.

This season was even better than the first one - mostly because of Reese Witherspoon's acting and the addition of Julianna Margulies! And Crudup and Aniston were great as always. I thought it was brave to bring in COVID, and they nailed it.

I was so surprised about this show. I hate watching shows, I just watch them, cause my wife loves to watch shows, I rather fall asleep or do something on the computer meantime. But this one hooked me. The other apple shows are lame to me, this one is fantastic, can’t really tell you why, I love the story, the idea, writing and acting. Can’t wait for other episodes to come.

The Morning Show favors soap opera over self-importance, making this newsroom a fun place to visit, especially if you like your headlines over the top. [11-24 Nov 2019, p.17]

The Morning Show is a fine drama. But when launching a streaming platform you expect people to pay for, you need more than fine. You need to break the mold and give us a TV show we didn’t even know we needed but cannot live without. The Morning Show is not that.

Simplified storytelling and giving viewers what they signed up for — Jen and Reese together 4ever — would have benefitted The Morning Show. Future episodes may reward us with those, but as far as first impressions go, this Morning Show made me want to hit the snooze button.

The Morning Show, as is standard for expensive dramas in the age of too much television, is also desperate to be About Something. And in that regard, it falls flat. Its politics are baffling – notably Bradley’s insistence on being neither politically red nor blue but “human” – and it’s not yet smart enough to say anything insightful when it comes to sexual misconduct in the workplace.

Three episodes in, the women of “The Morning Show” are islands even as co-anchors, and for no reason more compelling than that the plot has said so.

I stayed up late binging on this for a **** good reason. It’s juicy and **** fun. Like Big Little Lies juicy. Jennifer Anniston is

Meh. The show has great concept and certainly explorable, but sometimes it tries too hard to be too serious and sometimes it's just comedy :| which is weird given it's premise. Solid performances from the cast though.

A série cumpre seu papel de entreter e apenas isso, falta carismas nos personagens e uma roteiro melhor no mas é uma série que da pra assistir.

Flat-out bad. Aniston deserves better. She and Crudup are perhaps the only redeeming qualities. The writing is god awful in this show -- and in the show-within-the-show (have these writers ever watched morning television of been in a newsroom?) What a mess.

The show has its moments. But a lot of the writing is boring, uneven, and often doesn’t make sense. Witherspoon’s character does a lot of stuff that doesn’t make sense, and doesn’t have believable repercussions. I’m sure it’s annoying other viewers as well.
