The Morning Show

The Morning Show is a solid drama led by such an amazing cast. It takes you behind the scenes of a morning show and gives you a candid look at what makes the show go and the lives of the people involved in it. It may start a little slow for some but stick with it because it gets better as the show goes on. It seems like the entire cast has been nominated for an Emmy for their jobs on this show (Steve Carrel, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Jon Hamm, Holland Taylor, etc, etc.) and for good reason...they were all terrific! It's obviously a star studded cast but it's not only the stars that make this show so good, the writing is fantastic as well. Like most shows the first season is the best but even though the other seasons may not be quite as good as the first, they're still pretty darn good.

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!

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.

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!

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!
