David Cross on Blackface, Elon Musk and fatherhood: ‘My daughter is spoilt and I resent her for being rich’.The Changeling review: Apple TV+’s adaptation is too messy and uneven to pull off its parenthood allegory.Both women want “too much” meanwhile, Cory (Billy Crudup) is trying to seduce an ambitious, rogue billionaire into purchasing UBA, the network that airs the The Morning Show. All the same, that tranquillity is not unperturbable. Alex ( Jennifer Aniston) is on top of the world, following her Emmy-winning pandemic show, and Bradley ( Reese Witherspoon) is comfortably ensconced at the evening news. But sure enough, life keeps up the sprint. After workplace pest Mitch (Steve Carrell) met his maker in an Italian roadside ditch, a chapter of the show was closed. Life goes on, that’s the mantra of news journalists and The Morning Show. Unfortunately for Apple TV+’s lavish headline act, The Morning Show, it has never been either.
And so, for writers wanting to skewer the present moment, to tap into social concerns or current affairs, the choice is stark: quick or prescient. To quote Ferris Bueller, if you stop and look around, you might miss it. And then, before you know it, they’re on the frontlines of Russia’s war with Ukraine. Life moves so fast that one moment the news is talking about Covid-19, the next it’s investigating the Capitol insurrection. To make great dramas about the present moment, you must be either quick or prescient.
