This show is great , a huge start for apple network in tv industry . When they announced the launching of apple tv+ with this show and See . People were talking about See and nobody cared about the morning show . Now we see that See is very bad series and this is great !

Steve carell is amazing , i really loved him in this episode , I didn't like that he didn't appear so much before .

Waiting for the last episode and i think it won't disappoint me .

Let it be known that this show, this war, this potential shark attack is actually just a very complicated game of chess. But before we get to pregame predictions, let's talk about one of the saddest casualties of the toxic culture of The Morning Show Yanko and Claire. He's not a young woman at the start of her career. Claire is absolutely right to call Yanko naive for saying she'll always define herself. Hannah defines a little bit of Claire's career by reporting her and Yanko to HR. Hannah is projecting Mitch raping her onto Claire's relationship. If she were just a concerned friend/co-worker she could've at least told Claire what she planned to do. All she has right now is Mitch Kessler and let's be really clear - he knows he raped her and is extorting her. If that was murky last episode, it's not anymore. There is a moral core in Hannah that agrees with Mitch that Fred Micklen needs to be held accountable for his complacency. That's why she's agreeing to corroborate his story. That is the only reason and it's OK because that woman is traumatized and alone. She must do what she needs to in order to survive. Cory and Chip are just trying to save their own asses, but on a show where one man is more of a jerk than the next, they aren't at the tippy top, so I can like them. Cory in particular owns his arrogance in a way that forces viewers to root for him. While it's very sad to watch all of the "good" people go down because of Mitch the Monster (the way he speaks to Hannah solidifies my nickname for him), the wost potential collateral damage in this mess may be Alex and Chips relationship. They're no angels and they know it. But they have a genuine friendship outside of the show. They were both as complacent as most people when it comes to Mitch's behavior.

This was a great episode, Mitch Kessler (Steve Carrell), is the most unlikeable he has been so far!! He shows himself to be a real piece of work.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw is wonderful as Hannah, as is Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass (you really feel for him during his phone call with Jennifer Aniston). Reece Witherspoon kind of takes a back seat in this one but the scene with Aniston and Carrell is dynamite. I can't wait for the finale!!

This episode has corrected the previous one in many aspects. Most importantly, it showed that every relationship is threatened when it comes to self favor. As if you were in a sinking ship, you eventually fight only for yourself and don't care who drowns or survives. Friendships, co-work relations, love and confidence are all threatened when something strikes! Definitely worth the wait. Can't wait for the finale!

All the chess pieces are falling into place now, and this episode does a great job of setting things up for an explosive finale next week. As always, the performances are nuanced and on point, especially everyone's favourite network executive Cory Ellison, who is magnetic every second he's on screen. The writers continue to expertly craft conversations which maximise the complexity of the issues and potential for discussion after.

It's the sort of show that gives you plenty to discuss and contemplate once you've watched it and this episode is no different. Can't wait for episode 10!

Wow. Great series. This episode was the best, leaving me eager to see the final one. The writing for this episode was so good it deserves an EMMY. Mitch's self-serving speech at the end was incredible. The best example of Blaming The Victim imaginable. Such mental manipulation! Such raw evil. What was so good was that Carell made it real. You realized that Mitch, and probably powerful men like him actually believe this.

So good and extremely well written dialogue. It's so upsetting and uncomfortable, it is hard to watch.

Loved drama genre since long and experience surprises, twists and turns in many of the movies and TV series before. But believe me, the way goosebumps are happening in parallel conversations with neatly woven story and plot --- amazing.

Writer, director, actors are too good to justify each and every pieces of it.

There is always fine line between complex twist which is hard to understand in single flow but this particular episode in middle nailed it down with very simplified way in one go. Hats off to the team.

By the way, I have registered to IMDB in order to give my first public review ever for this episode. Love you Apple Original effort to give full freedom to the team with full trust. Looking for more in few upcoming episodes.

I can't imagine what the season finale will be like. This episode leaves you on the edge of your seat the entire time with so many twists and turns. Amazing acting and written perfectly. Everything comes together. Best show on TV right now.

Maria Sharapova proves she's not just an average tennis player in this great acting performance

This is by far the worst episode of the series. The characters lost all facets of their personality and became very two dimensional. All of the regular TMS employees are just plain sneaky, evil or stupid and only the plucky little country girl is the only one with a clear view of things and clairvoyant like self awareness. Way too black and white for my liking. It's like the director (and almost every episode has a different director) has a chip on his shoulder and wants make sure that even the most morally blind viewer gets hit over the head with the 'inequality' hammer until the brain has no other choice than to suddenly realize what is going on. Ham handed! Even though this episode almost single handedly undid all the character development that was done in the previous episodes, I will try to get some closure and watch the last one. Mimi Leder did a great job with one of the earlier episodes.
