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.

It has no consistency, no singular ambition or particular thing to say.

Slate

Glossy and expensive, the series is a giant, faultlessly tasteful gift box filled mostly with packing peanuts.

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.

A rare gem that gets smarter, juicier and more sure-footed by the hour.

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

Stacie E I want to like it. But after a while the drama of it all n is draining. It seems like a whole group of self obsessed people that can't get enough of their own drama. And I can't figure out when any of these characters sleep. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Elle P One word: SAVAGE!!!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Lartigue R sorta hate watch this, but it is pretty entertaining Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Jedi B What a cast, such an amazing show. Really wish they hadn't killed off Steve Carell, would had loved to see where his character would of taken him in season 2 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Nick S So i rewatched it now after a couple of years and it's definitely still a good show. Though, on the second watch, I'm not as impressed and notice a few issues with it that I didn't notice on the first go. Still a good show and curious to see how it resolves, even though a plot like this, I'm not sure how many seasons they can squeeze out of it... Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Babs Somehow I made it through season one but it was draining…. Not surprising given the cast Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
