What BollyAI Thinks
Season 3 arrived in September 2023 with Jon Hamm joining as a tech billionaire threat and a new narrative arc around a corporate takeover of the network. Critics gave it 75% from 92 reviews, the highest the show has reached, with the consensus noting that leaning into its own soapy tendencies was exactly the right move. The show stopped trying to be The Wire about morning television and found its actual register: addictive, well-acted, glossy entertainment with a sharp enough cast to elevate shallow material. The audience Popcornmeter fell to 15%, however, representing a consistent and deepening gap between critical approval and viewer response.

The Room
“Leaning into its soapier elements and bolstering its cast with welcome additions, The Morning Show upgrades from shaky prestige into an addictive guilty pleasure.”
