Surprised people seem to not like it as much as I do. For context, I am a late 30s white male and usually get annoyed by thrown in your face gender politics but this didn't do that to me. Amazing acting and I was intrigued with all 3 episodes so far. Guess I am blind to something others can see. I also feel like it is trying to give both sides to all stories. Just watch the amazing actors do their thing.

@krypt2nite I think it's a sad reality of our time that people feel the need to preface their opinion with their gender and race.

@krypt2nite I agree. I don't think the show is taking any side. It would be easy to make a villain of Mitch and they are treating him as a flawed human, just like the rest of the characters. I'm really enjoying this show.

@krypt2nite I'm really enjoying the show too. Gender politics drives me mad being a 40-year-old male I expected to hate this show but it has surprised me.

This thread is just a bunch of people saying "well I'm a grumpy bigot and even I like this show".

@kryptwalker The show has an 81% rating with 2k votes cast.<br /> <br /> I am actually surprised that so many people seemingly love it.<br /> <br /> And yeah, the acting is great - but the show promotes mob-rule (I mean cancelling, sorry...) which I can't abide under any circumstances.

How many stars can you get into one series? A lot apparently - there are tons of big names in this show! First episode is good-ish, but the next two get much better. Hope they can keep the quality up. 8/10

I really loved the dynamics between characters. There were moments you wanted to throw something at the screen, moments you actually felt the injustice and abuse and wanted to react. And one of the strongest moments for me was when Alex (Jennifer Aniston) finally cracks on air and goes full swing. Totally worth my time! Awaiting the next season.

At first, I thought the show would only be about [spoiler]the life of _The Morning Show_’s cast and crew but the bigger theme is about sexual misconduct and the silence associated with it in a workplace environnement[/spoiler]. And that’s really good because we, as a society, need that.

For me the MVP of this show are _Billy Crudup_ as _Cory_ and _Gugu Mbatha-Raw_ as _Hannah_. _Cory_’s character is so well written and played. Most funny, likable and unlikable character at the same time. [spoiler]And _Gugu_’s performance toward the end is :clap::clap::clap:[/spoiler]

Well, it's not a comedy. It's trying hard to give some "hot takes" on issues that are pretty darn cold. Bradley's rant in particular in the pilot about coal, and protest culture, and political cycles really wasn't viral-video worthy and though I got the sense it was supposed to get me on her side, it just made me lose respect for her.
I am interested to see where Mitch's story goes, though: he seems to jump back and forth between "guy who didn't know he was doing anything wrong" and "misogynist creep", and I want to hear how his story compares to his accusers'.

This could be a decent show if they replaced Aniston with a good actress

I'm very suprised by this show. I never expected that this show would be so good. I thougth ... yes, "big" actors and lots of excersive advertising from Apple. Bla bla bla. But holy shit, the acting, the camera rides (like Birdman) and the story is really great. And then there was Billy Crudup with his stupid grin. :laughing:

I am very curious if the 2 season can keep up this level and if i as a spectator will be knocked off my socks once again. We will see ...

It's not perfect. There's some tremendous dialogue that Jennifer Aniston just falls flat with on a few occasions, and I had a hard time believing Reese Witherspoon cast as the plucky underdog reporter.

Irrespective, it's really well written. I enjoyed the complexity of it. The narrative was cynical yet fresh on the subject that has had every other hot take on it done to date.

Well worth a look. Really enjoyable.

Like most of Hollywood releases, it’s a bunch of pretty people with ugly politics. Writers need to keep all the pandering out of entertainment and just let us be entertained. We have news, talk, and radio for all the divisive messaging. I expect more from Apple, but know to expect this type of BS.

Other than the all-star casting which makes for a worthwhile watch on its own, the plot and idea for the series is pretty great and entertaining, however, its not a unique one-off plot. It follows the drama behind the scenes of a big TV news network; in essence watching a show about a show and the actors. If you want drama about all of today's common issues and topics like minority rights, COVID, woke, ect, this is a very fun watch. But the cherry on top is the filming and the intensity of each dramatized moment drawing the audience as close to the characters as possible. And the show starts right off in the heat of a very dramatic happening to the so called TV network.

Season 1 was a great watch, Season 2 wasn't bad, but Jennifer Aniston was horrible. She can't act.

I liked this trailer when the show was first released- lots of renowned name actresses- but it's an overwritten, watered-down version of _Newsroom._ Without the intellectual criticisms of democracy, (and rants about the demolishment of the tea party!!) and without a Will McAvoy to lead the ship. And did I mention both Anniston and Reese play fairly unlikable difficult characters? That could be a plus in my book, (difficult women? hooray!) but here it's less of a plus, they're just difficult enough to be annoying, but not damaged, charismatic, or disturbed enough to divvy up the balance by adding plot friction.

So this is how the elite white liberals in US news media live and talk. This is almost a caricature of what an average conservative would think of what a liberal in a city seems like. The dialogues are so cringe omg. The plot is so amazingly dumb. Aniston and Witherspoon are so annoying. None of the characters are likeable. Do any real person even remotely talk in a way these characters talk to each other?
