As of three episodes, it's pretty clear that "The Morning Show" is primarily Jennifer Aniston's breakthrough. Alex Levy is essentially played by America's favorite, the charming Rachel, whom it's hard not to sympathize with. Naturally, we take her side in the fight against the company, with its unstable producer Chip (Mark Duplass), with Bradley, with Mitch, even when the protagonist does not behave sensibly. Actually, Aniston's charm may prevent us from seeing how good an actress she is. Her Alex is vulnerable, sometimes naive and arrogant, but at the same time freedom-loving and not indifferent to her own achievements. In short, an encyclopedia of moods and emotions.
I assume that Aniston will have a lot of canonical scenes with motivational speeches, but so far, most of all, Alex will be noted in her memory, where a confused Alex, after receiving an award for journalistic achievements and a spontaneous announcement by co-host Bradley, is already on her way home trying to keep her face in front of her daughter and explains why she only did what at first glance seems to be a career suicide: "Sometimes a woman can't ask for control, so she just has to take it."
Frankly, this is exactly the kind of role Hollywood actors have been striving for in prestigious TV shows in recent years. And therefore it is extremely inspiring to see not just a "female version" of a complex character, but a heroine who carries a unique female perspective on television. This is not Walter White or Don Draper in a skirt, but a new, fully formed, complex female character.
As a result, it is still quite difficult to compete with such a heroine, first of all, another key female figure of the show - Bradley performed by Witherspoon. The character of the correspondent from the southern states seems to have gone through a lot of changes already during filming - in the first episode she is presented as a conservative, then described as a liberal conservative, and already in the third episode she is called a libertarian. It seems that the authors of the "Morning Show" are still not quite sure how they want to present Alex's opponent/partner. In addition, Bradley's background is given very little time. The journalist lives with her mother and her drug-addicted brother, she is clearly in conflict with her relatives and financially keeps her family afloat.
The authors are trying to build a certain connection between Bradley and the character of White Crudup, hinting at the obvious chemistry between the boss and the subordinate. Hopefully, Erin won't go down the path of a banal romance, at least in the coming episodes. In the third episode, the girls try to sculpt an ideal co-host, trying on new (literally and figuratively) images that are completely unsuitable for her. Witherspoon constantly nervously repeats "you don't know me at all," and that's exactly the essence of the character's problem - we really don't have a full understanding of Bradley Jackson. So far, she looks like an eccentric and ideological correspondent, fighting for "real news" in an unequal battle with conventional windmills. 1xBet bookmaker offers a bonus to all new users.
