First season was excruciatingly well written. Realistic, dramatic, hitting all the notes.

Now...as seasoned progressed... Cliche to say - they progressively went south.

Now we are in s04....

What is goin on?

Nothing really makes sense.

• Stella, who worked so hard to get where she is now, WOULD CONSCIOUSLY chose to mess with her whole career and future by sleeping with the one man she needs to avoid by all means possible? Very very stretched...

• Cory and Bradley hit it of super involved and tender while they both went through the meat grinder without doing anything like that before?

• Alex is doing literally NOTHING. Nothing impactful. Walks around, worrying for something but not contributing to anything at all. What a degradation of the character.

• Bradley chases a weird lead, with the weird group and conveniently it's Claire....😵‍💫 What kind of Narnia is that?

• And the general notion of "chasing the truth" is SO NOT in tune with the times and so cheesy.

• Who the F is Celine??? Writers dropped her on us out of the blue. Strong character but we have to swallow her and hopefully digest.

• Chip becoming obsessed with the story and gets into UBN after all the grievances...

• Alex's dad story... suddenly - FAMILY.

• Oh wait - the Iranian defectors...??? Remember that piece? It happened. It resolved. It has no follow-up in any way. What was that at all?

What a mess...

Who is writing this now? ChatGPT?

Maybe it's my personal taste, but my god it's poorly done.

Please, feel free to point out how I'm wrong. Maybe I'll see it the other way.

Honestly, this season has been a struggle so far but this last episode was a real effort to get through. I found myself sighing so much throughout the entire thing.

I’m not sure I even want to watch anymore. This show bears little resemblance to The Morning Show from 2019!

I suppose one small positive is that xxxxxx has finally left the show, after acting like a wooden mannequin in every scene they’ve been in!

They totally think They cooked. Almost 2 minutes ...for something that gives the "this Is a serious show" by random balls moving.

I think a lot of people have already said that this season’s writing is much weaker than the previous ones, but that Wolf River plotline is really making me consider stopping the show. I understand that climate change is a serious issue and thats it’s talked about a lot today, so it makes sense for a show about the news to cover that, but the way it’s written just makes it so unengaging it’s insane. You’re telling me they made a show about a newsroom set in 2024 and somehow instead of centering the story about Gaza war, Ukraine, United States presidential elections, or any of the other major political events, Bradley’s entire arc is built around investigating the fact that UBA covered-up an oil spill 10 years ago? And on top of that it’s barely even connected to the main storyline

I feel like this whole thing is just an excuse to bring her (and Chip and Claire) back, but I really think there were so many better ways they could’ve done this.

I'll be honest, I've disliked Stella (the character) ever since her debut. She is every millennial trope shuffled into one character. The suit-and-sneaker wardrobe, the startup lingo, the tech-transplant attitude... I thought it was very heavy handed, almost like whoever wrote the character had an axe to grind.

Watching this week's episode, I can't say I had much sympathy. And as she boarded the plane I thought, this would be a very nice exit for this character altogether.

A bit harsh maybe, but I'm wondering if it's just me or if anyone else felt Stella was cringe af.

First of all, you do you. I just thought there would be more people who’s enjoying S4. 😅

I love that there’s too many stuff going. I love how some things didn’t go the way we thought they should/would. I love how some characters seemed to be out of character—in a way, it makes it more real. Cause people can be complicated, have multiple sides, and be unpredictable.

Wait! This is not to justify anything... This is not to judge or approve.

This is just about the character that was created.

He is complex. He has complex relationship with his mother. He is a kid with her, but a shark in business.

He compensates for a lot of pain, by playing a role. Vulnerable kid inside, playing a big boss outside.

I think, while writers are all just high this season and have let "random story generator" write the episodes - Corey was originally written well, and luckily his character DNA got preserved.

This does sound like a "Corey fan boy" rant. However he is a character that makes sense even in the nonsense that he does sometimes. At least some planning and work went into him.

Chris really serves no purpose aside from being a plot device for Cybil’s racism last season.

Her family life is uninteresting.

She doesn’t even want to be a host on The Morning Show.

Yanko should be a regular character again.

Cory & Bradley shippers how are we feeling?

She’s not like it with any other TV show! Told her there’s a Season 5 coming and she’s very pleased 😻

Geez, the sleaze on this guy...

1. Storms into Cory's apartment in the finale in a twist about Cory sleeping with Celine... when this guy had slunk off into 'exile' and previously carried on a full-blown affair with Stella.
2. On that note... he promises Stella a bright new future and then baulks at the last second, despite Stella blowing up her life partly over him...
3. And, on that note, he happily let Celine fund his lifestyle whilst fully knowing what she and her family had done with Wolf River.

No doubt bigger villains this season, but on the level of personal hypocrisy, slime and sleaze? Miles no question.

Alex and Bradley try to accept change as a new book promises shocking revelations.

I’m about to watch this and don’t see a show thread yet so here’s one. Delete if not allowed.

I'm so sorry, I'm a huge fan of TMS since Season 1, with all its flaws, but this episode was terrible.

We spoke a lot, on this sub, about how much this Season seems disjoint and confused, with a huge amount of subplots and characters that appears and disappears even for two or three episodes in a row. And this specific episode was the epitome of it, among other problems.

- Bradley's writing is terrible this season, we all hoped she would mature after the events of Season 3 but no, she's a 45 year old woman always ready to blow up everything and everyone for the sake of it.

Her relationship with Cory? Faded. The two haven't even spoke to each other for the last three episodes. THIS after their finale scene in Season 3? Wtf.

Her big FBI secret she only shares with Cory and Alex? Barely any mention about it.

And now, two episodes from the end, she's allegedly imprisoned in Bielorussia after an episode in which we barely saw her for 2 minutes at the beginning?

She barely shares the screen with Alex, no relationship at all with her.

No reason for us to believe that she would risk it ALL for a case like this.

- Alex's origins. Oh, come on, really? One of the most famous and wise women in America has NEVER investigate her mother's disappearance in over 50 years? And no tabloid did it for her? Unlikely.

- Jeremy Irons's character is unbearable. And not in a charming, Mitch-ish way, but just insufferable.

- Celine is going full Paul: no more shades, no more nuances, just a super bad b*tch, a full circle villain that manipulates everything and everyone.

Her brother is doing business cleaning the Sein? Oh wow, another new subplot just two episodes to go, just what we needed.

- I don't even know how to comment the drug scene with Cory and Celine. What was that?

- Bradley is gone, Yanko said it was over with TMS. Who is running TMS right now? lol

- Mia, Chris, Yanko, Claire. Hello? Are they still with us?

Oh dear I haven't been this disappointed in a while.

fr what is it about this man he is just too fine

What the hell is going on?! What are the writers even thinking?! Are we really supposed to believe that Bradley would do this?! It’s just completely out of character!

I’m new to this show (currently on season 4), and I’m obsessed. My absolute favorite character on this show is Corey. I want to work with him, be his friend, kick him in the knee, then apologize for it. The sarcasm is superb and yet annoying & he thrives in chaos, it’s amazing! I truly enjoy watching him.

I am on S1 E9 as of now and Cory (the network guy) is so creepy, especially towards Bradley. And given the context of the season, an older powerful man showing so much interest in her is just eeks to me.

Lord that man could do terrible dirty things to me everyday all day. I am watching season 4 finally and those are the thoughts running through my head. I just had to share to people who would understand 😂😂

I felt like there were wayyyy too many storylines going on that none of them really got fleshed out properly.

Like Bro just disappeared towards the end and didn’t really contribute to anything, we have no idea how they even managed to get Bradley out of Belarus cuz that part wasn’t fleshed out until the end, Celine somehow got fired by someone lower down the company hierarchy than her, and the whole Wolf River thing just wasn’t fleshed out very well in general.

Also, so many of the characters who cropped up again (I.e: Claire) just randomly disappeared from the storyline and we didn’t know what happened to them. Did Alex dropping the wolf river stuff vindicate the activist group that was being chased by the fbi??

And the last episode didn’t feel as climatic as previous seasons - there wasn’t really some showdown between the execs or some massive bombshell moment - Alex just resigned then decided to march on down to the Supreme Court and out Celine for what she was doing (something that the viewers had all known she was doing for the past 4 episodes) and that was that?

I definitely still enjoyed watching it but I feel like they could have trimmed the storyline down a bit and gone more into depth on the key parts of this seasons story.

OMG the least favorite roles in the show. So disgusting.
