Re: Apple TV+
Caught up on this now. The topical stuff has been dialed back up, and not sure we needed an entire episode flashback to Covid days. I don’t think this show can go an episode without mentioning the pandemic, actually.tragabigzanda wrote:Three eps in and this is tracking to be the best season yet of The Morning Show. The goofy fun is dialed up while the topical stuff feels less self-important than seasons past. And Corey and Stella are finally getting more screen time than Alex and Bradley!
Anyway, seems Cory is about to go scorched earth, so looking forward to the last few eps!

Yeah, I’m quite anxious to see how Cory gets thru this. The visit to mom’s was quite the roller coaster. I was left wondering if she’s bipolar.spike wrote:Caught up on this now.

With the latest episode, it dawned on me that Stella was in Russian Doll.

We watching Lessons in Chemistry as well. What a wonderful television programs. Brie Larson is absolutely fantastic in it. I’m not ashamed to say episode 3 brought a few tears.

Re: Apple TV+
Jesus Christ. Just finished the most recent episode, the fourth, and this show is simply magical. I mean if you’re not watching this, that needs to be corrected immediately. From the storytelling to the acting, to the production. It’s just perfect.tragabigzanda wrote:Good to know, I thought the trailer was intriguing and I'm up to see her do something good againwease wrote:We watching Lessons in Chemistry as well.

Re: Apple TV+
I'm not caught up yet but I have been enjoying TMS this season. Though, I can't agree that the topical stuff is lesser this season. To me, it's WAY more in your face. It's like the people writing this show have never learned about subtext. It's all just text!

It's easily his best performance so far, though.
