I wanted to like this show, I had high hopes for it, but unfortunately it’s not good. I watched the first 3 episodes and I don’t feel the need to keep watching. The Morning Show is waaay too dramatic for a nothing plot. We are supposed to feel tension but everything happens just because. It feels so forced. And the music is so overwrought, trying to manipulate the viewer into thinking the situation is super serious, as if it’s the end of the world.
They threw a lot of money at the names, and not enough at the creative process. The writers just looked in the social networks what topics are hot right now. And they put them all in - racism, sexism, environmentalism, Me Too. The show really doesn’t break any new ground and it hasn’t got anything new to say. It's certainly not making the profound points it thinks it’s making.
The portrayal of journalists shouting about the sanctity of journalism is annoying. The show is set in a fairy-tale world of journalistic integrity - journalists are soldiers in the fight with coldhearted network executives for The Truth, they could and would never be capable of biased. And every time a journalist gets upset, they scream, “I AM A JOURNALIST”.
The Morning Show had a lot of potential but the script is atrocious, the overacting and constant yelling is unbearable and it’s just too damn dramatic. I didn’t understand why everyone was so serious.
