The Morning Show

A wonderful series (the first season). I watched it out of academic interest. I don't feel any sympathy for the MeToo movement, just so you know.

However, the series presents harassment from a slightly different angle than I had imagined, which led to a bit more understanding. The point is that the bosses in this series don't see this as a problem at all. It's like: 'You're a fool, grace has descended upon you, and you're sulking here.' For them, everything seems perfectly normal. There's no theme here of 'if you don't like it, just leave,' as many people say online.

I especially want to point out how people get fired in this series. They are not in the lowest positions, so they are earning more than average. When you consider that they might have loans, mortgages... it adds much more depth to the plot than meets the eye at first glance.

In summary: the series digs deep and presents it well.

My girlfriend and I were discussing this and we've come to this conclusion. Overall, there were a couple episodes that were top-tier, would rate them in the high 9s. They were thought-provoking (mainly season 1), great cinematography, great acting, great score (esp season 3). But the other episodes would fall around a six or seven which is pretty solid. However the hour long run-time on those meh episodes just made it feel like it was dragging on for the majority of the episode just to reveal some big cliffhanger at the end (this is my gf's opinion not mine, i thought it built suspense nicely). So rounds out at a weak eight overall. Season one was the best, then three, then two.

The show is amazing, but wow, what a remarkable performance by Billy Crudup. He totally kills it! I love his character, so funny. We need more of him! Great work! Of course, the rest of the cast is also amazing! Great job everyone!

I was never a big fan of either Anniston or Witherspoon but they are really, really good in these roles. Production values are excellent (product placement aside) and kudos to the writers for the nuanced approach to delicate social issues... and Billy Crudup has the best lines!

I was skeptical and this show wasn't even on my radar, but after watching the first episode, I was hooked. I binged the next 4 in 2 days. Great show! The acting is superb. The story is interesting. It touches on issues of the day with finesse and doesn't preach. Which is hard to find these days. The casting is pretty perfect. Billy Crudup steals the show. Awesome work, Apple!
