The Morning Show (also known as Morning Wars in Australia and Indonesia) concluded its second season last month. I only just got to binge it. So much TV coming and going ahead of the Australian and American holidays seasons.
Starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell, streaming on Apple TV+, the series is inspired by Brian Stelter's book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.
A third season has not yet been renewed. However the way season two ends, what is left to say or do.
With one of the three main characters dead, one with COVID and the other struggling through coming out a troubled family member and the only one co-hosting The Morning Show, there isn't really anywhere left to go.
I enjoyed the first season much more. Season two goes into WOKE AF territory. COVID territory, all the territories you do not want to land in.
COVID has been done to death (literally) in TV now. So much so Grey's/Station 19 this season had to have a disclaimer the series after they did COVID to death (and beyond in Meredith's case) that the show now is based on a timeline after COVID is a thing.
So entertainment now is all about the reality we have lived for 2020/2021. For me that is not entertaining. For all the shit I saw about The Walking Dead shows/series/spin-offs etc. At least this is still not based on reality. However I think a zombie apocalypse is definitely on the cards.
The problem with Morning Wars is it tries to be super smart. Season one achieved this. Season two just went too far. Like I have been reading/hearing from viewers about the new Sex & the City. Too much woke shit is a real turn off. Yes we want diversity on our screens, yes we want to see difference options, but don't shove so much down our throats all in one sitting. That actually is not reality. All in all while living the high life like the character who catches COVID in a penthouse apartment in season two of this show.
You then broadcast you experiences to the world, all from a luxury NYC apartment. I don't think during NYC's first wave of COVID cases, luxury apartments, broadcasting the entire shit show really went hand in hand.
Anyway this is an easy to watch series, Resse Witherspoon is outstanding. It doesn't help that I have never liked Aniston or Carell.
It you need to make use of your Apple TV+ membership, struggling to find a series worth watching. This is one of the best one of our newest to streaming has on offer.
In my opinion though a third season is a long shot. This is an expensive show to make whilst the storylines are drying up fast like the rain puddles in Sydney during this weekend heatwave. Help me Jesus its warm AF!
