First of all, the show was pretty decent in the first season. However, Reese Witherspoon (both the actress herself and the character she plays) has rendered it essentially unwatchable. Bradley is the epitome of hypocrisy - judgmental, self-serving, self-aggrandizing, preachy. Overall insufferable. The way her character makes, quite literally, everything about her and what she wants is infuriating. 99% of Bradley's scenes are utterly exhausting.
Aside from the godawful leads, the show is just...meh. Characters die, and no one really grieves. They mention someone who was at some point or other a somewhat integral character every now and then, but there's no real concept of the loss you feel when someone you're with all day every day suddenly isn't there (and the deaths that occur were under truly tragic circumstances as well, making the gloss-over doubly suspect). Other characters just...disappear...and the rest of the cast acts like they never existed. Oh, and "character development"? Not a thing on this show. They display someone as being one way, then have them do a complete 180 for no. Apparent. Reason.
I'd like to say it's just bad writing, but the casting is awful, the preachiness is headache-inducing, and I honestly cannot believe I watched this whole train wreck from start to finish. The Morning Show isn't as bad as that Palm Beach show, but it's pretty awful.
