	Media	Author	Review
		Emma Fraser IGN	"[3rd Season Review]: it utilizes its ensemble and guest cast with maximum impact"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: a slightly less stupid, still watchable Season 3"
		Boyd Hilton Empire	"[3rd Season Review]: No wonder a fourth season of this slick TV newsroom drama has already been confirmed. It makes for hugely pleasurable viewing (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Sarah Ditum The Times	"[3rd Season Review]: I've binged the whole series and it does improve midway, but not by enough for a star like Aniston"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"[3rd Season Review]: entertaining (...) It’s a soap opera for adults. And that’s not an insult"
		Clint Worthington rogerebert.com	"[3rd Season Review]: If it stuck to 'Succession'-style, it would at least steer clear of its gaping political blind spots (...) Instead, it’s just a mess"
		Judy Berman Time	"[3rd Season Review]: an often-silly but always-fun prestige soap whose tone and ambition fall somewhere between 'And Just Like That' and 'Succession'"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: as bad — and fascinating — as ever"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[3rd Season Review]: it’s still an eminently watchable and consistently entertaining 21st century soap opera about a bunch of great-looking people (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Fletcher Peters The Daily Beast	"[3rd Season Review]: While 'The Morning Show' once had similar poise (...) the series has lost the plot"
		Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"[3rd Season Review]: it is playful and topical, tackling important, timely issues with style and heart (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Patrick Ryan USA Today	"[3rd Season Review]: it gets lost in space, despite terrific Reese Witherspoon (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Peter Travers ABC News	"[3rd Season Review]: The best season yet for this inside look at the corporate corruption of TV news and entertainment"
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"[3rd Season Review]: Aniston seems barely present, either physically or mentally, and Witherspoon has nothing to offer (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Amber Dowling The Wrap	"[3rd Season Review]: The series transforms while delving into a slate of social issue"
		Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[3rd Season Review]: It's not prestige TV. Still, it's hard not to watch"
		Jackson McHenry Vulture	"[3rd Season Review]: the series is fascinating not for its innovation, but for how it has managed to morph into a bog-standard primetime soap in the glossiest of packaging, and become so much more watchable for it"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"[3rd Season Review]: The issue isn’t about the fights 'The Morning Show' chooses. But to join top-tier dramas, as opposed to just a breezy diversion, it needs to be smarter about fighting the battles that it does"
		Alison Herman Variety	"[3rd Season Review]: After an underwhelming launch, 'The Morning Show' has finally become must-see TV, if not quite according to the initial plan"
		Taylor Gates Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: By featuring riveting friendships, romantic relationships, and power struggles, it gives the majority of its characters their moments to shine"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[2nd Season Review]: Too often, 'The Morning Show’s' second season is satisfied with the easiness of shock — of announcing itself, though not communicating much of note, in a blare."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: It’s a show with one of the best ensembles on TV, but at any given moment it seems to be wasting half that cast (...) [It] isn’t awful, but it does awful things."
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"[2nd Season Review]: Crazy plot twists, ridiculous dialogue, and inexplicable musical numbers... (...) [the series] embraces the weird in season 2 (...) It's fun, all this chaos"
		Liz Shannon Miller Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] can't find its focus. Jennifer Aniston is very good in it, but it's hard to say what this show is even about."
		Gwen Ihnat AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: These compelling performers and their interpersonal storylines make 'The Morning' Show watchable, even as the series’ lecturing threatens to push the audience out of reach."
		Dana Feldman Forbes	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 1 was great, Season 2 is even better"
		Peter Travers ABC News	"[2nd Season Review]: The laughs don't come as fast as they did in season 1, but they come sharper in season 2 (...) Credit 'The Morning Show' for not reducing Alex and Bradley to catfighting stereotypes (...) They're a pleasure to watch"
		Sushri Sahu Mashable	"[2nd Season Review]: The second season goes deep with bigger stakes and layered treatment (...) But nothing changes the fact that the big picture lacks clarity (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Adam Chitwood Collider	"[1st Season Review]: A pretty smooth ride. There’s a lot to like, and it’s a series that is tackling complicated issues like sexual misconduct, unchecked misogyny (...) and the changing media landscape with refreshing complexity (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ed Power Telegraph	"[1st Season Review]: There’s the genuine novelty of seeing the power trio of Aniston, Witherspoon and Carrell share the screen. Yet it's flawed too and certainly lacks the obsessive polish synonymous with Apple’s high-end gadgets (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[1st Season Review]: Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston can't salvage this politically muddled, underthought, and underwhelming streaming misfire."
		Brandon Katz The New York Observer	"[1st Season Review]: I might not quite be the next great drama of our time, but I’m willing to go the distance with it anyway. That’s saying something when I have more than 500 other TV shows just a click away."
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[1st Season Review]: Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are great (...) s, but the show — and, so far, the network — doesn’t need to exist (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[1st Season Review]: Fine work from the former 'Friends' star — plus Mimi Leder's lively direction — aren't reason enough to wake up for this star-studded dud."
		Alex Zalben Decider	"[1st Season Review]: The cast is excellent (...) the direction by Mimi Leder impeccable, and once you’re past the set-up you’ll reach moments that are so over-the-top (...) that you won’t be able to breath."
