Barry Newman (204 KP) rated The Morning Show in TV

The performances from Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell (playing very much against his usual nice guy persona) are both very good but the one who really surprised me was Jennifer Aniston. I had only ever thought of her as a pretty lightweight comic actress but she really was outstanding here.
I really enjoyed the whole season overall but the final episode was the best by far and has set up some very interesting storylines for season 2.
The only thing that did get on my nerves a bit was the constant product placement of Apple products. I know they produced it but absolutely everyone has an iPhone, the only computers used were Apple Mac and the only tablets IPad. I suppose it was to be expected but it would have had a bit more authenticity if you had a bit more variety on display.
A minor distraction really and the show is still well worth watching.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2544 KP) rated Murder in Morningside Heights in Books
Feb 16, 2022 (Updated Feb 16, 2022)
As always, this was an excellent trip back to 1890’s New York City. The story was fast paced, so even when I was ahead of the characters, it wasn’t for that long. And I still wasn’t sure about who the killer was until we reached the logical conclusion. Of course, it’s always great to spend time with the characters, and I love how Frank and Sarah’s world continues to evolve. I also enjoy the humor that the characters and their relationships provide. It’s a nice balance to some of the more serious themes the series tackles. This book will please fans of the series. Believe me, it is worth the time invested in catching up if you are still behind on the series like I am.
