I was deeply drawn in after just two episodes; I really like this post-MeToo era news story. It falls between The Newsroom and The Loudest Voice, neither as idealistic as the former nor as exaggerated as the latter. Although everyone seems a bit hysterical, fundamentally, it's a story about people scheming and competing for power. Aniston and Witherspoon's scenes are thrilling to watch, it reminds me of the enjoyment from watching House of Cards back then.

The actors, writing and directing all return to the high quality of the 1st season on all fronts, and the script is so much better than the 2nd season. Each episode is tightly paced with focused characters and conflicts, and the 4th episode is especially excellent. The best thing about this show is that it is closely pegged to current affairs, and it is the best show after The Good Fight.

For a show that I almost gave up watching during the last season, this season just blew me away. The mixing of real news mentioned in the show and its slight sci-fi vibe produce a unique flavor of “having reality everywhere in the surreal”.

OMG. Laura’s charisma is such that she's there for only one sec and you'll be waiting for her to show up again for the remaining 40 mins.

Starts off strong, then falls flat on its face.

Entertaining, it attempts to be clever but doesn’t quite make it, misses some important details. God awful soundtrack. Great cast.

Reese

Despite loving Reese, I don’t think this is her best performance. I hope she’s more used to the character in season 2.

Steve Carell

Steve Carell doesn’t convince me anymore. I think he’s just playing Michael from The Office forever. Or maybe they are casting him for the same character.

POV

I love the point of view showed on The Morning Show. Instead of showing the victim’s, we learn more about the harasser and the people who ignore the whole problem.

Season 1 Finale

Contains spoilers
The end of season 1 is very sad and dark. Seeing everyone supporting Alex while Jennifer is showing everything she has to offer in front of the cameras. I hope we have more of these scenes in season 2.

The duo is back

Watching Jennifer and Reese acting together is a gift. They play strong characters who are ready to face their problems.

Season 1

I couldn’t wait any longer to see Jennifer in such a great role. Her Alex is deep, interesting and strong. She was the reason why I started watching the show, but it ended up not being the only one, everything is very good.

Amazing

OMG, there are so many plot twists and cliffhangers that I spent one entire Sunday watching it. The cast is so perfect, we are easily interested in all characters and stories. Can’t wait for season 2!
