That Woman

Love in. Best in 2019! Sure it going to blow our mind further!

In its first three episodes, The Morning Show clicked most when it showed off its firm grasp of the beats of an actual morning show: the canned banter with occasional glimpses of real chemistry, the hectic control rooms, the tension between network and talent, the complicated and competitive nature of anchors and producers and writers. For Bradley, the two things are synonymous. Her greatest strength, and the thing that has kept her from succeeding in this industry so far, is that she cannot help but tell the truth... the whole truth... and nothing but the truth (often times, very loudly). And, if you can believe this, it's much more fulfilling to watch this earnest but somewhat self-destructive trait of Bradley's become evident over the course of an episode than it is to hear Reese Witherspoon say, "I say whatever I mean, I don't play games, I don't fit the mold," Bradley's first day as co-anchor opens with Alex sitting alone at the desk, faux-wondering where on earth that Bradley could be. Cue Clarkson's "Stronger," as Bradley strides out from stage left, swapping her real nerves for charming "dreams really do come true" nerves. Bradley holds her strained grin as her mom waxes poetic about how she always expected big things for her daughter; Bradley has a flashback to her teen years of her mother yelling, "You better get your s- together, girl, or you're gonna end up sucking d-s under the promenade." It's a rough memory, and Bradley can't shake it. Watching Alex realize over the course of this episode that in an effort to take control of her own situation, she has created a different situation over which she perhaps has even less control, is fascinating. Because, in Bradley, Alex not only has a loose cannon, but a loose cannon she is inexorably tied to. As Bradley thanks Ashley for speaking her truth, Cory looks thrilled, Hannah the booker looks concerningly nauseated, and Alex looks like she's about to burst every blood vessel in her face. She's waiting for Bradley when she walks offstage to whisper angrily in her ear: "I brought you in, I bet on you, I dragged you up out of nowhere... You just put the show and everyone who works here at risk."

This episode was one of the best I've seen in a really long time. The characters are acting and reacting true to their nature in the midst of a chaos that is ever-thickening. You won't be disappointed. Witherspoon's Bradley Jackson is like the prophet Amos entering the king's court and serves as a model of truth speaking to power.

I really loved the first three episodes, ESPECIALLY because they showed BOTH sides of the coin.

In this episode they go all in on "it's all the mens fault", EVEN THOUGH they make it incredibly obvious that Mitch didn't push that woman to do anything, and that it was basically only her own mind that played her. I mean, we don't know how it actually was, but as it is portrayed it could be either way. There is no question, that Mitch's relationship with that woman was inappropriate, but he's a human after all, isn't he?

I hope they go back to also showing Mitch's side. What I loved about this show so far is that it has no clear political position.

I have had this show a while, and just got round to watching it Every Actor is this, the Acting is off the scale, Comedy actors suddenly showing their acting chops and blowing it out of the park And Jennifer always been seem as a OK light drama actress, but boy can she act and sing where has that voice been ?

Reese has done serious heavy stuff before so we know she can act well Steve Carell, who decided he should play this role deserves a medal, he is brilliant.

Also all the bit actors like Nestor never knew his name, seem him in loads is superb.

This is Quality TV of the Highest Order, I just hope it don't run out of ideas, the writing is so good. Can they keep up that level of writing.
