What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though The Morning Show at times feels more like a vanity project than the hard-hitting drama it aspires to be, there is pleasure to be had in watching Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon give it their all.

Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic It has no consistency, no singular ambition or particular thing to say. Dec 23, 2019 Full Review Inkoo Kang Slate Glossy and expensive, the series is a giant, faultlessly tasteful gift box filled mostly with packing peanuts. Dec 19, 2019 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au Even when its execution is sometimes wobbly, you never mistake its ambition. It's pacy, brash and compulsive - which all adds up to something worth sticking around for. Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv A rare gem that gets smarter, juicier and more sure-footed by the hour. Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews The Morning Show is a sharp-witted, subversive, and supremely sobering screed against sexual harassment in the workplace, with one of Jennifer Aniston's best performances to date. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine The characters... are complex and full of nuances. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 26, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

M Q I don't get the low ratings. This TV Series is extremely good, Jennifer Aniston in life role. Good acting, good screenplay, perfect performance with multiple memorable moments. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review TI H Great first season. Second season completely lost me. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review Vander A Given some of the really lousy audience scores here I can't understand why this show is in its 4th season. Mind boggling. And it's not just that we all haven't known some of these horrible co-worker types, so who wants to suffer and watch a TV show about it? Granted, sometimes if done right that can be entertaining. But not here. Have no praise for any of the usually good actors, except for Billy Crudup who basically steals every scene he's in. But the performances, the writing, the dialogue et al, are all totally sub par and sometimes cringeworthy. Who the heck would stick with this show thru 4 seasons?? I am so out of touch with this audience. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Seemore G You should stop right here Don’t watch anymore of this show after season 1 or else THE MESSAGE is gonna ruin this show for you Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Samuel N Great acting, suspenseful and balanced! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Nathan G I was genuinely surprised how deep the themes in this show got, even beyond the "Me Too" movement storylines. I wasn't expecting the layers they would give Jennifer Anniston's who is a very flawed character but often relatable. Her relationship with Witherspoon's Bradley character feels very real and authentic for how those two would interact behind the scenes in real life. The last episode leads to a big climax and pretty good payoff despite some heavy themes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
