Season 1 had one specific plot point and knew what it wanted to be and kind of ended with a bang with multiple opportunities in stire. Season 2, however, tries to find it's new identity in current events, mainly the coronavirus. It's a lot like the following seasons of 13 Reasons Why; while the show handles metal issues recklessly, the first season at least had a format and a focus, the rest tried to tie loose ends.

When this whole pandemic started, fans of Marvel Studios asked Kevin Fiege if they'd address the virus in their movies/series. Feige basically explained that people watch movies and shows to escape their current circumstances.

I wish The Morning Show S2 made this same decision. Season 1 dabbled in political agendas a little bit, but it was self-aware and tried to uncover the layers of these complicated situations. Season 2 reminds viewers constantly about the severeness of COVID-19 and the importance of LGBTQ representation and it takes place of a lot of good character development.

Though Cory is still my favorite character, somehow the writers made me like Mitch, the main problem of S1, much more than any of the main cast.

Forcing current events and common trends into entertainment never works. Every time you see a Fortnite dance/reference in a movie, do you not roll your eyes? When Trump was in office, left or right, were you not affected in some way when it was brought up in your favorite show? That's why HBO's The Newsroom worked, it took place in the not-so-distant past, got a little political, and focused more on the story and sprinkled these events intermittently.

Please wrap up this pandemic arc, develop Yanko, Mia, Daniel, Stella, and other characters, and find a more specific, unique plot for S3.

I did enjoy looking forward to new episodes of What If...? Every week, but the producers have been saying that this is canon to the MCU and I really fail to see how that is possible. This show seems to contradict the TVA presented in Loki, it has the risky potential of undoing certain things that happen in the Infinity Saga (in a bad way), and... it's animated, dude. If Captain Carter showed up in the fourth Captain America movie, I'd feel really jarred. I know this has the Marvel Studios banner on it, but this feels slightly less canon than Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D.

I can see the Watcher returning, but not speaking terribly much about the events of this series.
