Critics Consensus

The Morning Show's second season has a slew of stupendous performances - but too many characters attempting to address too many hot-button issues makes it hard to know what any of them are actually trying to say.

The plot became a haphazard mess, motivations were mysterious, no two storylines tied together, and the cast foundered. Saying it was off the rails was an insult to train derailments everywhere.

There's a fair bit of scene chewing in Morning Wars, so it only stands to reason that it's so dramatically delicious, you're going to eat it up.

[The Morning Show] looks sleek and shiny, but it's artfully loaded with intriguing shades of grey.

8/10

The Morning Show season 2 delivers another gripping and dramatic season. The character performances are again stellar, with performances that’ll leave you on the edge of your seat.

3/5

While the second season involves plenty of strong acting from the cast, there was an attempt to squeeze in too much in. The story becomes too busy and involved.

Ultimately, it was a mess of a season, one where - aside from killing off Mitch Kessler - the series didn't advance the story much... Still, as beset by problems as it is, it was a very watchable season.

It's unfair to compare "The Morning Show" to "West Wing", but I will anyway. Both have talented ensemble casts and both try to juggle multiple plot threads at the same time. What made "West Wing" a classic was how brilliantly Sorkin, et al, pulled it off. By comparison, "The Morning Show" is an overstuffed mess that jumps from thread to thread and character to character without ever making me care about any of them. Perhaps my biggest complaint (and the same one I had about "Succession") is that absolutely nobody is likable. They are all pretty awful people. I watched "Succession" to the end hoping that karma would eventually win out, but it didn't. I hold no such hope for "The Morning Show", so I won't bother watching to find out.

I loved the first season, but the second feels like it was written by a completely different team. The characters are inconsistent. Cory seems insecure and out of control, and Bradley questioning her sexuality at almost 40! feels completely unconvincing, given how confident and decisive she was in season 1. I also don’t understand why they introduced Stella. She’s unlikeable and adds nothing meaningful. Overall, the forced storylines hurt the show and make it much less enjoyable.

Im really shocked the reviews are bad for Season 2. Admittedly, it was off to a slow start, but by the end I was in tears and questioning why I cried and felt bad for certain characters.

the drunk driving girl and the old childless girl continue on with their interpretation of "the new american woman" schtick about how neither like men. in fact the one girl is now a lesbian. covis 18 and biden and raciss america now are the storyline. tedious writing by women and for women, avoid this at all costs. go clean the shed instead.
