Critics Consensus

Though The Morning Show at times feels more like a vanity project than the hard-hitting drama it aspires to be, there is pleasure to be had in watching Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon give it their all.

It has no consistency, no singular ambition or particular thing to say.

Glossy and expensive, the series is a giant, faultlessly tasteful gift box filled mostly with packing peanuts.

Even when its execution is sometimes wobbly, you never mistake its ambition. It's pacy, brash and compulsive - which all adds up to something worth sticking around for.

Utilizing its compelling storylines & fantastic ensemble, The Morning Show makes for a rather captivating drama that features quite a lot of talent both behind and in front of the camera.

4.5/5

The Morning Show is a sharp-witted, subversive, and supremely sobering screed against sexual harassment in the workplace, with one of Jennifer Aniston's best performances to date.

Aniston, Carell, Pittman, and Crudup deliver indelible performances in this incisive exploration of sex, power, and privilege in the corporate world. Anchored by a narrative that balances sharp plotting with rich character work, The Morning Show resists easy answers and instead forces its audience to reckon with who is prey, and who is predator.

Smart writing and compelling narrative. After The Diplomat and Adolescence, finding this was amazing. The show has a female perspective that could make some people unnerved, the only explanation for some really low reviews.

I can’t believe this show has any negative reviews- it’s compelling, well acted and throughly entertaining. It’s also poignant and discusses topics which have been seen as black or white and sheds some serious grey on them. I love the fact that this show forces you to think about issues in more depth whilst entertaining.

I found the series intriguing and couldn’t resist watching. After finishing season one, I started watching season two and discovered that there was much more to enjoy.

so wait, the drunk driving girl and the sad childless female pooled their money and made a girl show that doesn't have any men in it that are real representatives of men? neither of the lead females has a man in her life and the one girl screeches about her best friend who's just a gopher weenie, cruddy billy is another effeminate weirdo. go pull weeds instead.
