A ‘The Morning Show’ suits the apocalypse | TV

“Many people do not want the Apocalypse to come,” Pitita Ridruejo told Martín Bianchi years ago in an interview for ABC. A headline for cross stitch embroidery that resurfaces every little bit on Twitter. Among those people are now the executives of The Morning Show. After the chaos at the end of the first season, they had to save the image of the show. To do this, Alex Levy had to be brought back. For that reason and because as any viewer knows, without Jennifer Aniston with Reese Witherspoon there is no series.

As a good television presenter, Alex takes advantage of her retirement to write her memoirs. I remember the title of those of Hoda Kotb, one of the presenters of the Today, the NBC morning show that inspires a The Morning Show: How I Survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cancer, and Kathie Lee. Kathie Lee Gifford was her co-host and friend at the time.

Alex (Aniston has never had bad hair) and Bradley are also doomed to outlive each other, but starting on New Years Eve 2019 – Happy 2020! – the season brings a much more literal meaning to the idea. survive. Where is the #metoo and professional power conflicts when what comes next? The apocalypse is coming and its characters do not suit them, but precisely for this reason, the series does.

Last week they entered by video call to The anthill Reese Whiterspoon and Jennifer Aniston. Aniston explained that the series “was about all those wonderful things that happen in the morning, sexism, racism, abuse of power …”. Pablo Motos laughed at the irony, his program is at night. It seems that we have survived the apocalypse. And now that.
