Yet, somehow it feels dated - as though its story is just stuck in early 2020 while the world has moved on and is talking about very different things. Given that this was just a little over a year and a half ago, this feels like it shouldn't be possible, but the world post-arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic simply looks and feels so much different than this shiny memory of the before-times world. This means that the ominous build-up to the virus' arrival - complete with multiple wink wink nods to signposts we'll all remember that tell us just how bad it's going to get - as well as the focus on the Democratic Presidential Primary debate, complete with Bernie Sanders jokes, well... it just all feels so staid. Hannah, it looks as though Cory is about to out Bradley and her relationship with Laura Peters. This is, in and of itself, horrible, as no one deserves to have their sexual identity used against them in this way, but I think we also have to wonder what this says about Cory's feelings about Bradley. Even though he's just a TV character, it's still probably extremely wrong to wish that Mitch Kessler would catch COVID and die in Italy and yet. I just cannot figure out what this character - and his bizarre Italian documentarian thing - has to do with this show still. But is there a The Morning Show viewer out there who is invested in some sort of redemption arc for Mitch? Who's really curious about how he'll react to his fling with Alex becoming public? This show would be so much better - and there'd be room for other, more compelling storylines to breathe if we could all just admit that we don't need Mitch anymore.
