Steve Carell a carrément l’air dépassé par le rôle mais surtout l’air con comme souvent chez lui… pour ne pas dire comme d’habitude en fait.

En tout cas, tout cela n’est pas bien crédible du tout, même en débranchant le cerveau et en le jetant aux orties, surtout que la bécasse de Friends à la peau tirée comme un tambour est méconnaissable : c’est-à-dire qu’on ne la reconnaît pas, on ne sait pas qui est cette personne ! quant à l’autre bécasse Witherspoon, elle reste fidèle à elle-même, à savoir à la masse comme de coutume.

Le gars Steve est donc ici l’imbécile esseulé cerné par deux grognasses en fin de parcours alors que le spectateur téméraire est pour sa part cerné par l’ennui de toutes parts : qu’est-ce qu’on se fait chier dans cette merde qui progresse à deux à l’heure, c’est un truc de fou ! ça blablate comme dans un film ou plutôt l’une des woodyconneries dont Woody Allen a le secret…

Oui, oui, je confirme, c’est vraiment mais vraiment une sale série de merde à la mords-moi-le-zob qui s’astique la justice sociale à n’en plus finir !… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really looking forward to this show because of the talent involved but had to bail 23 minutes in because of the terrible writing and same old same old. The part that made me start to turn it off first was a ridiculous scene with Whitherspoon manhandling a protestor and setting him straight with some FACTS that have him cowering away and apologizing for daring to hold his original position. It's like some terrible comic book I can't get out of my head. this become a main turning point in the story that is eye rolling.
Anyway, another blown opportunity by another deep pocket company that has the money but not the creativity.… Expand

More progressive left slant mixed with #MeToo movement...but, ironically, the objectification of women. Ugh. Confusing. Passing after just a few episodes.

Given the hype, my mind was floored by how bad the show is. It is not even half as decent as the Newsroom, Sports Night, or Murphy Brown. A lot of faux intellectual posturing about politics that goes nowhere. Average performances are being gassed up as brilliant by some people. There are far more interesting shows that deserves nominations and PR. Also, it blatantly exploits MeToo hysteria… Expand

If you do, though, prepare to be disappointed. Direction-less writing and terrible directing lead to an arch mess that meanders around, half-making points then immediately undoing them in the next scene.
Carell's character is at the center of the muddled messaging; is he a darkly comic figure, with his lack of self-awareness being entirely ironic? Or are the writers actually trying to frame sexual predators as sympathetic figures? One can put up with the shows other flaws but confusion over whether the show's message is anti-Me Too or not will likely sink it for most viewers.… Expand

Saw the first few episodes and was captivated by the "message" that seemed to be recognizing the "me too" movement, especially in the media-- Seemed a profound storyline--But then, I was reminded that This "Morning Show" is just PROFANE rather then profound! It is for audience 18+ for a reason!
It is very graphic in sexual scene, which was completely disgusting, objectifying women all over again as sexual toys, forgetting every message of respect, intelligence etc, which got camouflaged in the first 4 episodes of the show by the fake introduction of wanting to recognize the "me too" movement. Reality: the morning show is just a facade for a lame porn piece for those who enjoy sexualizing women and playing them as a fragile broken sticks ready to be sexually used, misused and overused.
Please make sure your kids and teens don't get near this garbage, lest this "morning show" twisted message will get into their brain. Worse then any garbage movie or TV show I've ever come across to!… Expand

I found myself mesmerized by The Morning Show as the stories developed and the characters realized. Beautifully cast, sensationally written, well produced - and I can't wait for season 2 to hopefully be out in 2021. This is one to give a shot if you have access. If not, find someone who does. The fact that each episode is given nearly a full hour to tell a slice of the store is awesome. Like Game of Thrones, you get a lot of build and backstory to help land a really, really big story.

I highly recommend giving this one a shot.… Expand

It begins after a beloved host of a national morning program (Steve Carell) has been fired for sexual misconduct. His co-host of 15-years (Jennifer Aniston) has to pick up the pieces of her hit show, while dealing with the repercussions of the scandal. Meanwhile, a spunky reporter with an impulsive streak (Reese Witherspoon) is hired to replace him and throw everything into disarray. On top of this, numerous personal and relationship issues develop. This is the most penetrating performance that Anniston has ever given. She's joined by an excellent cast that's directed with skill and assurance (Billy Crudup's exec is especially fun). Even though this series could have become a soapbox on harassment issues, the smart writing examines the issue with depth and evenhandedness, while creating individual stories that go beyond one issue to create a completely involving look behind the scenes of a national network. (A 2nd season has been announced, although production was halted due to COVID-19)… Expand

I thought the characters were played exceptionally well, both those I loved as well as those I hated (with the latter being as critical to a good drama as the former), with their positions of power, assumptions and moral compasses being constantly tested. What I found most intriguing, was the nuanced commentary on #metoo. It managed to capture the insidious nature of sexual discrimination; the way it pervades our lives, and how we may unwittingly (or in full knowledge of our actions) feed these behaviours and perpetuate the issue. It highlighted the sheer complexity of the issue and the mountain of work we have to do to bring about workplace - and life - equality. I thought the insight in the perpetrators psyche, and particularly their methods of denying and justifying their own actions, was a real eye opener. If only one person stands up for somebody being sexually discriminated against as a result of this show (I hope it is way more), it will have been a massive win.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first thing you notice about Apple’s first original series is that they’ve thrown a lot of money at it. From incredible cinematography to jaw-dropping acting performances, “The Morning Show” proves it can stand out in an overflowing melting pot of streaming service TV shows. But it takes its time to show this.

The driver of the plot is a MeToo style scandal which shakes the people who work on a mainstream morning show in New York from the onset. The first few episodes are slow paced, as the crux of the story is set up, moulding the beginnings of strong character arcs however failing to deliver meaningful television which promises a worthy payoff. Perhaps due to the shaken state of all of the characters, it becomes noticeably hard to warm to many of the characters, with my favourite characters only being truly realised towards the end. As we progress through this series, the show seems to be more comfortable and settled within itself- more confident in the ideas it tries to portray. With the senior management layers of authority attempting to undermine and manipulate Jennifer Anniston’s character (the main anchor on this morning show), we see a possible ugly truth behind network shows and their layers of power. By establishing the network as corrupt from the top, the series cleverly leaves this idea of “you can’t trust what anyone says” within the audience, purely due to the corruption shown. Reese Witherspoon’s character shines through as someone who isn’t scared to speak her mind, but as the show progresses she realises the weight of expectations that news anchors feel, and this begins to dial down more into sympathy and empathy for her co-anchor (Jennifer Aniston’s character). It is through the growth of these two characters that we reach the conclusion of the show which sees both of them publicly expose their network for the wrongful things they’ve done- with beyond exceptional performances from both Anniston and Witherspoon. The music, cinematography and acting are all truly something to behold as this show manages to almost put the rest of the series to shame with this masterpiece of a scene. Apple promises us a second series, and if it’s anything like the first, The Morning Show has a lot of powerful storytelling to come.… Expand

The show is not entirely but partly based on NBC’s Today Show scandal. It is trying to be serious and life-like-real, which is very important. What we are seeing is the relationship in a set up of a morning show based on power and shifting the power. Also, there are people who work with all their heart and respect toward one other, but we can witness behind the curtain when those who are in control do not hesitate to make victims of abuse silent to keep their positions. The show realistically and without any rush introduces us to characters. step by step reveals a new aspect of their reality. Involving in situations that seem difficult for them to put aside their privileges and do the right thing and speak up for the victims. How even women like Alex can take part and make the culture of silence powerful by turning a blind eye on what they see or changing the reality by misleading the narration. The show takes a step further and brings some examples of abusers' excuses for their violence. Mitch not only denies all the charges but also insists on being innocent. Even in a meeting with one of a director who has been accused and somehow when he reveals the actual truth about himself and confesses to him, Mitch still acts like someone who would never harm people in that way. It is how strongly they refuse to admit and even attempt to blame the victims. It is wonderful to have tv-shows like "the morning show" that It is important to make all who are feeling isolated and scared know that their voice would be heard, and they are not alone. To courage them to speak up and silence those who do not stop abusing others, and always find a way to get rid of the consequences of their actions.… Expand
