Steve Carell in “The Morning Show" (Apple TV+)
  • What repercussions will the release of the book have on Alex’s career, given that she has been viewed as a feminist after what she did in the season 1 finale with Bradley?Moreover,how will it impact her family dynamics as has been foreshadowed this year.
  • Alex is complicated-her guilt by association. One might ask if men are held to the same level of accountability when associated with a female who is morally tainted?
  • We see that while Alex wants to hate Mitch,it is almost like she knows two different versions of him and in this time of crisis wanted to go back to that familiarity of Mitch.
  • We know that Alex has a tendency to forget the horrible things she says or does-do you think her encounter with Mitch and his subsequent demise, will cause her to evaluate who she is and who she wants to be?Do you think she or anybody like her is capable of change and how would this impact UBA’S  future?On a broader note,to what extent are we as human beings are capable of change?
  • Mitch’s demise-Mitch appears to be more of a character who can’t really experience empathy or concern for something not directly related to him. He desperately wants to be seen as a good  person but does not really want to take responsibility for anything he has done as seen by his response to being progressive for liking black woman as opposed to recognizing he was a predator. Perhaps he truly is nuts because he does not have insight. What is your response to how they killed him off?
  • Going forward, will UBA face another lawsuit from Bradley Jackson when she finds out Corey divulged her sexual orientation?Will this bring out a larger discussion of their treatment towards LGBT and other minority employees?

These are just some discussion topics from the previous episode.Feel free to respond to any or all of them and share some of them in the comments section below!

  •  We are now covering Apple TV’S The Morning Show featuring Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell.Check our list of hot topics from this season so far and share your response in the comments section!If you like,feel free to share any other topics from this season and the show in general that you would like to explore!
  • Can UBA ever really achieve change with so many of the same players in leadership ?Brings to the question of to what extent we as humans are capable of doing better?

·      LGBT rights in the show.Is outing Bradley still a toxic culture similar to the one that led Hannah to commit suicide? While it’s not about rape, it puts an employee’s personal life in the public light in a way that could have had catastrophic consequences. While Hannah’s loss is tragic, compromising Bradley’s well being may not be the solution in preventing further loss or harm?Daniel’s response to the to his bigoted cohort’s response about him wanting to not lose the gay space shows the ignorance that people have towards minority groups at large,in treating them as using their minority status to get ahead instead of recognizing their actual struggles as well as them holding their posts because of their own merits.

·      Corey wanted to protect Hannah’s name, but it is also likely that he is jealous about her relationship with Laura.

·      Laura Peterson’s privilege vs Bradley’s upbringing. Can Laura really appreciate what Bradley is going through given how Bradley is from a different part of the country that is not typically as accepting as the rest of the country generally is now?

·       Mitch- seems to be self victimizing himself while also acting apologetic.

·       Yanko’s diversity issue. He is portrayed as a right leaning character. What are your thoughts are on the spirit animal issue ?Do you think that issue reflects a time where we are becoming more enlightened to the perspectives of others and recognizing racism in all of it’s forms or is it a reflection of a time where certain topics have been  unduly polarized? It’s odd because he is a Trump supporter but seems to think he is immune from being a racist because he is a Cuban immigrant.

·      Is Alex really as bad as others portray her or is it the issue of women being victimized no matter how they present themselves and being criticized by other women? We are learning about how others perceive wrong doings by Alex but we don’t have all the pieces of the puzzle to know if their observations are accurate.Definitely how she treats others in present day does not speak highly about her and she does seem to conveniently forget about horrible things she has said or done.

·      The comment about white men getting second chances– although Alex got a second chance and is a white female, we can see how the white characters in general get so much leeway and more opportunities to mess things up than their minority counterparts. Do you agree with this?

·      The board’s response in trying to divide Cory and Stella.This is also related to culture of backstabbing one another in the workplace which diverts attention from preventing ethical issues in the workplace from coming up.
