	Author	Review
United States	Emma Fraser IGN	"[3rd Season Review]: it utilizes its ensemble and guest cast with maximum impact"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: a slightly less stupid, still watchable Season 3"	NEU
United Kingdom	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)"	POS
United Kingdom	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"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"[3rd Season Review]: entertaining (...) It’s a soap opera for adults. And that’s not an insult"	POS
United States	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"	NEG
United States	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'"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: as bad — and fascinating — as ever"	NEU
United States	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)"	POS
United States	Fletcher Peters The Daily Beast	"[3rd Season Review]: While 'The Morning Show' once had similar poise (...) the series has lost the plot"	NEG
United States	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)"	POS
United States	Patrick Ryan USA Today	"[3rd Season Review]: it gets lost in space, despite terrific Reese Witherspoon (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers ABC News	"[3rd Season Review]: The best season yet for this inside look at the corporate corruption of TV news and entertainment"	POS
United Kingdom	Anita Singh Telegraph	"[3rd Season Review]: Aniston seems barely present, either physically or mentally, and Witherspoon has nothing to offer (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Amber Dowling The Wrap	"[3rd Season Review]: The series transforms while delving into a slate of social issue"	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[3rd Season Review]: It's not prestige TV. Still, it's hard not to watch"	NEU
United States	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"	POS
United States	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"	NEU
United States	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"	POS
United States	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"	POS
United States	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."	NEU
United States	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."	NEU
United States	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"	POS
United States	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."	NEU
United States	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."	NEU
United States	Dana Feldman Forbes	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 1 was great, Season 2 is even better"	POS
United States	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"	POS
United States	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)"	NEU
United States	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)"	POS
United Kingdom	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)"	NEU
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[1st Season Review]: Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston can't salvage this politically muddled, underthought, and underwhelming streaming misfire."	NEG
United States	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."	POS
United States	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)"	NEU
United States	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."	NEG
United States	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."	POS
