What I’m Watching: The Morning Show

The Morning Show: Season 2, Episode 9 “Testimony” (B)

After a strong recovery involving Mitch’s death and the resulting rush for information, this episode was a less comfortable follow-up, one that once again sensationalized some of its storyline to questionable effect. It did take me a moment to realize that Paola being at the memorial meant that she had somehow flown in from Italy in the middle of the worst part of COVID in that country, which we then learned was a result of Alex arranging it. That freedom of travel thanks to means is jarring to think about, especially since, in this case, it meant that Alex had gotten COVID and exposed everyone at the memorial and at the studio. It’s strange to think that this season will end just after this, with only one episode left, though I think that’s very much like real life, which was interrupted with plenty of plans derailed for nearly everyone in the world. Alex being cancelled, whether that’s a permanent status or not, seems quite insignificant in the scope of that. I was so happy to see Bel Powley back as Claire, but her happening to be free during Mitch’s memorial brought a swift end to the possible resumption of that relationship since even being there to pay tribute to him was seen as enough of a slap in the face to Hannah’s memory that Claire won’t likely want to even consider being with him after that. Bradley and Laura seem like they may be headed for happiness after all, but that delivery and Hal’s nature may prohibit that from happening even more than the pandemic.
