Given that TMS is such a timely show, it isn’t surprising that the show’s creative team would attempt to recreate an event like the Capitol attack, but it doesn’t make it any less jarring to watch two and a half years later.

Rated: C+

Maggie Fremont

New York Magazine/Vulture

From a story standpoint, we finally get some answers and clarification on several points that have been hinted at, but I still think it was a misstep to be so cagey with the details up until now, the fifth episode of the season.

Rated: 3/5

The Morning Show’s decision to offer an entire flashback episode rather than just discuss the events in the show’s present-day of 2022 allows for Reese Witherspoon to deliver a full emotionally-driven performance.

I understand that the episode is trying to compress two years into an hour, but everything happens so abruptly!

Granted, at least this means the show is finally getting around to filling us in on the kind of big character development moments that likely would have added some useful context earlier in the season.

Rated: 3.5/5

Did they sleep together? Probably. Is Morning Show going to string us along, until they eventually drop this fairly inconsequential bomb? Even more likely.
