Apple TV - The Morning show

[CurlyWurlyTwirly]

Just binge watching the first 3 episodes.
It is excellent! Best acting I’ve seen from Jennifer Aniston, loads of excellent female characters.
Anyone else watching?

Morning Show review in the Guardian

Apparently it cost $15 million an episode!
I’ve signed up for the free 7 days trial and £4.99 a month.
However looking at the rest of the Apple TV offerings; it just rebroadcasts iPlayer, Amazon, so not a lot of new content compared to a Netflix .
Going to keep watching though.

Yes!
I also signed up on the strength of the reviews and some other forthcoming series which looked interesting - 'See' being one.
I love the Witherspoon / Aniston pairing and I thought 'The Loudest Voice' on Netflix about Roger Ailes and Fox news was really interesting - this follows on the same line. I'm up to episode 3 and enjoying it. So many well-known actors, I'm not surprised it cost so much.
Hadley Freeman did an interview in The Guardian with Reese Witherspoon + Jennifer Aniston. I think she was a bit surprised that they weren't more forthcoming about sexual harassment in the industry given that is really at the heart of the series for now. I'm assuming Steve Carell will still be involved (love how he's portraying his character) so I'm looking forward to how they bring him in to the Witherspoon/Aniston plot.

I’ve just watched these 3 episodes back to back. It’s brilliant. Can’t believe we are now back to waiting for each weekly episode, after Netflix that seems a real step back.

I found the Steve Carrel subplot a bit boring. ( I actually started fast forwarding through his scenes)
I find Jen Aniston really compelling to watch. There are so many great female characters. Also Billy Crudup the UBA boss. ( he was great / Machiavellian in Mad Men too).

I am going to watch this next, I got the free year subscription as I treated myself to a new iPhone. I watched See and that is quite good, but only 3 episodes were on there, Im sure they are doing this so that people subscribe if they enjoy the start of series. Glad the Morning Show is good, will start it later.

Episode 4 is just out.

Just watched it. They’re definitely not scared of pushing the boundaries!

Finished all 4 episodes now, really enjoying it, but would rather all episodes were on at once, got to wait until Friday now. I was surprised how good Jennifer Aniston was as I don’t really like her films much

I got the free trail for a week, and will probably let it run over Christmas and then review whether it's worth it or not.
I binge-watched this show....have to say, both Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon (and Steve Carell and Billy Crudup) -excellent actors. Really brought home, how Jennifer has been lost to weak films over the years.

There is one scene with Steve Carrell and Martin Short which is just fab- really brings home how talented both are.

Bit disappointed in the writing at times- it's got great scenes (such as above) and then, really weak or maudlin scenes that clunk along.

Oh god,,,,,I do have other phrases besides "brought home" in my vocabulary. Must review before posting.

I just love it! I know it’s loosely based on Matt

Lauer @ NBC. I used to watch the today show regularly , I was so shocked when Savannah and Houda announced the news ,Savannah was shaken/teary

Jennifer Aniston delivered that feeling so well, opening was just so perfect, So refreshing To seeing Her like this.

And can we take a moment to admire her perfectly casual< but so easy to mix up for a more polished look > wardrobe? Swoon

Wardrobe?
I know this is not S&B, but look at this dissection of Anniston's clothes.

Alex’s wardrobe is fabulous. It’s is very Jennifer Aniston though (which is a good thing)
Given the number of women on the show; everyone else dresses terribly.
( I think I was spoilt after watching Suits. Even when the storylines were ridiculous; the clothes kept me hooked)

Watched episode 5.
I really didn’t get the whole show tunes references.
It’s all getting a bit confusing and dark.

Anyone still watching?
I really liked the flashback episode giving the background to where they are today.
Hannah ( head booker’s) character development was fascinating to watch.

RW had it written into her contract for Legally Blonde that she would get to keep all of her characters clothing. I wonder if she recommended doing the same to JA from this show. Her outfits are beautiful.

Wow, just watched the last episode. It was like a shakespearien tragedy.
Fantastic.

We've been avidly watching this. Such brilliant work all round - I aspire to write my telly like this! But then, the creator of the show also created House of Cards, so it was pretty much set to be well written - I do wonder how much, if any, of what happened to Spacey and House of Cards found it's way into this as well. But fantastic performances and really looking forward to s2.

Binge watched the whole show on Monday whilst ironing, preparing guest rooms etc. Absolutely loved it!

I might watch it all over again - in the name of studying good writing, of course!

I'm late to the party, but have just binged watched the whole series over a couple of days.

I thought it was excellent. The best storyline for me was Claire & Yanko - very cleverly written and moving.

I watched just 2 episodes so d=far and omg, it's stunning!

Wow! Just binged watched the entire series. I love it.

Dh and I are blasting through this, having only started it a week ago. It's fantastic.

I especially loved the scene in the dorm room where you just see her click "fuck this" and take the pizza
