The show is amazing, but wow, what a remarkable performance by Billy Crudup. He totally kills it! I love his character, so funny. We need more of him! Great work! Of course, the rest of the cast is also amazing! Great job everyone!

I was never a big fan of either Anniston or Witherspoon but they are really, really good in these roles. Production values are excellent (product placement aside) and kudos to the writers for the nuanced approach to delicate social issues... and Billy Crudup has the best lines!

The Morning Show is an pretty good drama led by such an amazing cast. It takes you behind the scenes of a morning show and gives you a candid look at what makes the show go and the lives of the people involved in it. It may start a little slow for some but stick with it because it gets better as the show goes on. It seems like the entire cast was nominated for their jobs in this show (Steve Carrel, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass) and for good reason...they were all terrific! It's obviously a star studded cast but it's not only the stars that make this show so good, the writing is well done too. Now for some reason season 2 isn't nearly as good as the first seasons. It's still worth watching just not as entertaining. I hope future seasons get back to the quality of of the first season.

Rarely it happens when a new streaming service comes out, and it has a show that is so good and binding, I can't help but give 10 stars !

It's real, it's dramatic and it's creative. The photography is amazing and the characters are interesting and relatable.

First of all The Morning Show has one of the best overall casts of any show on tv. Just to name some of the actors in this are Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, etc. With a cast like that you just know the show is worth watching. The first season is the best but the second is still pretty good. It's one of the rare shows where each episode gets better and leaves you wanting more. It's a fast paced show that you'll want to binge watch as quickly as you can. Season three is coming out later this year and I'm looking forward to watching it.

I was skeptical and this show wasn't even on my radar, but after watching the first episode, I was hooked. I binged the next 4 in 2 days. Great show! The acting is superb. The story is interesting. It touches on issues of the day with finesse and doesn't preach. Which is hard to find these days. The casting is pretty perfect. Billy Crudup steals the show. Awesome work, Apple!

Complex emotions on all sides. Appealing to human nature. Not overly preachy. Makes you think about cause and effect.

The acting is just over the top amazing. The performances by every single actor was A+.

I am still in awe by the season final! This is outstanding.. you moved me. I feel so empowered

What a fantastic return to form for Jennifer Aniston! Her ability to encapsulate a character right from the first episode with such depth, with an incredible supporting cast including a role that could only be played by an actor like Steve Carrol, the complexities of such an intensely debated topic as the MeToo movement, which has been so integral in allowing society to take that important step forward, while allowing narratives to take place that under different acting ability could very easily lost. Reese is exceptional in a role that feels formed to her.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this program about a program can take us!

Season one really hit all the right notes. Season two tripped and fell. Alex needs a good whack upside the head. And what happened to Bradley? She's a totally different person. Cory has become inept window dressing. And Chip needs better lines than uh I'm sorry um. The little Asian girl is obnoxious. One of the best characters is the Italian reporter! I have grown tired and weary of the bickering and backstabbing and who is going to blame who. Basically the show just needs to grow up.

After a pretty decent first season, viewers are now into episode seven of the second season and many must be thinking (like me): "Wait, did they forget to actually write a screenplay for season 2?".

There is really nothing intriguing about this show during this season. Storylines, dialogue and character development; it's all really "mèèèh" at best this time around and mostly really just boring and uninteresting.

Dialogues just seem never-ending and are not compelling in the slightest.

Of course I noticed on various other Apple shows as well that screenwriting is apparently not in the list of requirements set by Apple.

But they could have at least tried, right? Talented actors and most likely tons of money to spend.

What a complete waste of budget and talent this show has become... just a pile of garbage to be really honest.

5 out of 10 (and that's only due to an above average season 1).

I would rate season 1 an 8. It tackles a lot of social issues while still remaining entertaining and still doesn't get too preachy.

I would rate season 2 a 5 at best. It is boring and attempts to include so many issues that it becomes a woke nightmare. Stop after season 1 if you aren't on board the woke train.

I just binge watched, (unintentionally) the first season and I have to say it was one of the best shows I've seen in a while. Is it perfect, no, but that's what makes it great! Billy Crudup's character was perfect! Both well written and played. He deserves all the praise in the world for this role, as does Reese Witherspoon. I was so motivated to write this after reading how certain critics (Sophie Gilbert) for example thought the show was poorly made, referencing too many cooks in the kitchen, so to speak. But for me, the chaotic nature of the show and the levity Crudup's character (Cory) brought to every scene was worth the price of admission. So I cannot wait to see what season 2 will bring. Hopefully the same balance of characters and comedy that killed quarantine day 23 for me. Bravo Apple+ !

I had to create an account just so I could come on here and say just how incredible this show is. I ended up bingeing it in three days (couldn't do it all in one day as it is quite emotionally heavy in some parts). The finale was so brilliant I was sobbing, shocked and overwhelmed with emotion. Wow. Just wow.

{Initial Impressions} Can you call it an initial impressions when you are 6 episodes deep into a 10 episode series? It's just that good! Once I started watching it, I couldn't stop until I was caught up. The acting is great. The cast is accomplished, both stars and supporting performers. The story is well defined. Do not be mislead, this is a serious drama. I can't say enough good things about it. Apple+ has set a high bar for itself with this inaugural series. I give it a 9 (superb) out of 10. {Drama}

Loved the first three episodes. Story flows smooth. Acting from great actors is upto the mark.

People who don't think it's good writing, didn't watch the whole thing. It's a slow burn. But wow what an incredible show. I hope it wins all the awards and inspires more people to stand up for what is right in this world.

I loved season 1, which was cast perfectly and well-written. The story lines tied together nicely and I really felt like this could be what morning television productions are like. With all the A-list actors that I love, I was pleasantly surprised that Billy Crudup stole the show for me. I couldn't wait for season 2 to come out given the season 1 cliff-hangers.....Then season 2 happened. -sigh- What a mess. A few characters whom I won't name, are clearly out of their acting league. Story lines that expanded from season 1 have become uninteresting and distracting. The drama is amped up to the point of becoming annoying. The mood swings of main characters shred empathy and credibility. I never thought I could be annoyed with a Jennifer Aniston character, but here you go.

I suppose many second seasons struggle with expanding story lines introduced in first seasons. That's expected to a degree. But this feels like it is written by separate teams of writers. No cohesion. Every character has become insufferable. I'll struggle through the rest of the season, with the hope season 3 can recapture the magic. I'm not overly optimistic.

I absolutely LOVE this show! I wasn't interested, but decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. I don't want the episodes to end. Great acting, and great story. 10!

Season 1 had a good, interesting, story line, that grabbed you from the beginning. Kept you watching esp in anticipation on what will happen in the rivalry between the 2 female leads. But they suddenly coming together in end in that show of woman solidarity was more depressing cop out, enough to drop the season from a 9 to an 8.

Unfortunately, it seems they had no idea of what follow up story to tell in season 2, other than just showing a bunch of rich media people being ambitious, competitive, nasty, and neurotic. The Witherspoon character's particularly irritating, and she's spent half the season shouting at people. Crudup is best, he's held the series together. And the Carrel character's an interesting watch. As the guy who's fell off the mountain top...and, alas, has to console himself with the millions he's made. (And Carrel even has a resemblance to Matt Lauer)

The show begins to find itself in episode 3. It's great to see Jennifer Aniston take on a role like this. She, Reese and Billy Crudup are great as is the rest of the cast. All the famous faces make it a fun watch regardless. Looking forward to episode 4.
