What BollyAI Thinks
Season 2 aired in September 2023 and maintained the 100% critical score, again earning AACTA recognition. Set against late-1980s events including the Lindy Chamberlain case aftermath, the season deepens both the newsroom politics and the Helen-Dale relationship without simplifying either. Critics at The Times drew the comparison to Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston's Morning Show as a contrast, with The Newsreader emerging as the sharper, better-written account of television journalism. The six-episode format continues to work in the show's favour: tight, with no padding and no obligation to fill space for a streaming hour-count.
