The world should be like this
alja-646-78623014 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The best part was the interview that Bradley did with Maggie. Loved it. I have never seen anything like this in real life..the world would be much nicer if bad behaviour had always been condemned, even and especially face-to-face on TV. Lets be nice to each other.

This episode is one big rollercoaster!
lvanuden112 November 2021
Season 2 started a little bit slow, but every storyline was build to this point. I can imagine it wasn't easy to make a 'sequel' to the brilliant first season but they did a pretty good job. The aftermath of the things that happened in season one is powerful, emotional and unexpected. The actors are top notch en their performances are beyond this world. The morning show is a 'page turner' series with the quality of an oscar-worthy movie. Congratulations to the whole cast, the crew and the creatives for this brilliant episode and a brilliant second season. I hope that there will be a third season. Please! We need more Morning show.

Pretty Good
bobetjo13 November 2021
Once the series ditches the "messages" it can be quite fascinating. Alex, even when trying to be honest or helpful stuffs her foot in her mouth. It must be hard to act unconsciously self centered without hamming it. But a great job. Bradley is a surprise. A good one. Well written and performed.

Twists and turns.

Best episode of the season - so far
zachmetzgers20 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
At first, I thought killing off Mitch was the easy way out because he's conveniently gone and then the show wouldn't have to explore all of the sides of cancel culture (such as, should a cancelled person be cancelled FOREVER or can a person ever make amends and be forgiven to any degree?). But with Alex being cancelled in this episode, we can still explore that theme and it makes more sense to do that with her for a variety of reasons.

Bradley's interview with Maggie Brenner was one of the BEST scenes of the season.

The show isa getting so good
moviesfilmsreviewsinc16 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Is it the encroaching threat of the coronavirus pandemic? I mean, there's the big cliffhanger plot twist: The show has now decided to give Alex COVID in the earliest days of the worst initial outbreak in America but do any of us think this will be a story about anything other than how this impacts the insular world of The Morning Show? I mean, they're talking about building tents outside the hospital to house the influx of COVID patients and Alex is just...on her phone? "Testimony" features one of the season's bare handful of scenes that feature Alex and Bradley together - it's one of the best in the hour, and a desperate reminder of just how good the chemistry between Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon is. So why is The Morning Show essentially refusing to take advantage of it? After the Season 1 finale, in which Alex and Bradley essentially chose each other and vowed to ride out the chaos of outing their network head as a predator together, they've barely interacted, and I have no idea what the status of their relationship truly is at this point. With just one episode to go in Season 2 - and Alex freshly diagnosed with COVID-19, it seems impossible that The Morning Show will somehow manage to find some meaning in this madness. In Bradley's absence, Alex agrees to co-host TMS with Laura, where they teach people with an expert's guidance on how to wash hands to prevent coronavirus infection. The ladies also discuss their differences and everything that went wrong for so many years. Bradley is dealing with her brother's mess, who is quite ungrateful. It really aches me to see her character go through this weird storyline as Reese is underutilised in this season. After so long, Reese Witherspoon got some good scenes as Bradley interviews, Maggie. Those 5-6 minutes brought back the real Bradley Jackson, who we all missed this entire season. The last 30 minutes of the episode are thrilling and riveting. I missed this about TMS, and I wish they'd done this earlier. Today's episode is what I expected the entire season to be.

Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon)

Warning: Spoilers
Favorite scene with

Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) - Her Speech at Mitch's Memorial Service.

Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) - Interviewing Maggie on TV about her Book and really letting her have it for what she wrote about Alex.

Amazing.
joaniston12 November 2021
Everyone is on the fire. This Ep is very good as last ep,I mean it is talking about the real person that try to make it out but has passed .It's sad. You cant judge these people when they try to understand a real person's heart and sadness,The feeling is true.

Jennifer aniston's role is sooo complex ,i like her,She makes the role looks like a real person who living in the world .She's too real .I think jen should win emmy for this ,She deserves it.

Finally a good episode!
samabarati13 November 2021
Finally a good episode after so many boring ones. This time I didn't want to miss any moment unlike the episode 8. The story was smooth and absorbing.

I can't help smiling at the end :-)
etherylaer12 November 2021
Episode 7 was good then 8 was better, this one was the funniest for me. It makes me wanted to sob and then smile in the end.

I am bias because I am a fan of Joanna A, so in order to balance unreasonable below 8 rating here or below 5. In fairness to the high quality cinematography, the excellent performances of actors, this episode the 'Good Girl' director's work seems perfect for me.

Bradley and her brother needs to end. The acting and story both aren't working.

The highlight was surprisingly the Alex and Laura conversation. Curious to see how they wrap that dynamic up in the season finale.

A good plot
douglasfnascimento17 November 2023
Not as good as the previous one, but another excellent episode - well above the previous episodes of the season, which were very warm and dragged. I loved the way the script made me cheer for Alex during Bradley's speech during the interview. For a few minutes I forgot all the character problems of Jenifer Aniston's character and this same script, quite intelligently, a few minutes later, was able to bring everything back to my mind. The performances, as always, were quite good. I am very curious to know how Alex will get rid of this cancellation in his career, which suffers from its ups and downs.

Another abject disappointment
king_cameron12 November 2021
Previous episode was the only good one this season. They're really reaching with not enough material to make the central theme dominant. Subplots are weak and boring. Aniston acting sub par at best.

What a 180 since episode 5
davidtaylor-18-44702715 November 2021
I was so disillusioned & disappointed about half way through S2 but thankfully the past 4 episodes have been a return to the form of S1 & I can't wait for next weeks finale Did they change the scriptwriters 1/2 way through?

They are once again focusing on the main characters (but the 1st half of the season was still a mess)

A lot of storylines
jp-20615 November 2021
There's too many storylines going on with this show. Characters come on and I don't know who they are but I'm suppose to. Folks in the previous episode are nowhere to be found.

But my biggest question is this: who thought reliving the COVID-19 outbreak, precautions, and lockdown would be a great idea a year later? Worst decision ever.

And Chip, please shave.

Stop Shouting
carlpettman-597-583068 November 2023
Another episode where someone is shouting at another, this time it's Bradley shouting at her moronic brother. She should have dropped him years ago, who cares FFS!

So the revelations from the book are revealed. Who cares?

And Chip ( stupid effing name) is wondering around looking like he's lost his car keys again. Big off Chip, and when you get to where you are going, big off some more!

The only decent thing in this entire episode is Martin Short's memorial speech, in which he mentions cancel culture, he ends it with a'feck 'em'. And quite right too, feck 'em, and the horse they rode in on!
