It’s not until Bradley gets a call from a very ill Alex wanting to thank her for trying to protect her during the Maggie Brener interview that Bradley decides to take her search up a notch. It seems highly unlikely that not one person who receives a missing-person flyer from the Bradley Jackson wouldn’t post that shit on Twitter, but this is the case. Everything that’s happened to her this season has led to this revelation, and it’ll be interesting to see who Alex Levy is after she makes it through all of this and how she fits into The Morning Show going forward.Īnd what of her sometimes co-anchor Bradley Jackson? Bradley is hitting the streets looking for Hal. She is thinking about the person she wants to be and wondering if she is actually that person when she looks in the mirror. (And why wouldn’t she? She’s been through multiple personal traumas recently and is very, very sick.) She rails against cancel culture, she muses about what happens after we die, she tries to make us feel bad for her for being famous, she tells us to “either get on the Alex Levy train or just stay at the station.” In the end, though, she talks about this time making her, and she suspects a lot of people, more introspective. It’s wild to see Chip continually tell Alex that this is gold, baby, and that she’s doing great, because from my seat the woman looks like she’s growing increasingly unhinged.
That, and UBA+ is crashing and burning - he has to cancel the huge launch-day events once Tom Hanks gets COVID and everything starts crumbling - and at this point he’ll do anything to get some buzz, I guess.Īnd so Chip arrives at Alex’s apartment, where he lies and tells her he already has COVID, so it’s totally fine and he can be near her, and he gets her pull herself together enough to get on the air that evening. But the whole “watching one of the most hated people in morning television at the moment” bit is probably what compels Cory to say yes when Chip pitches an evening special with Alex. It gives him an idea: Wouldn’t people love to see Alex Levy suffer on television? Okay, so his idea is more that Alex could “guide” people through what’s happening to her in order to both inform and get people to take COVID seriously. Instead, during the worst of it, she calls Chip and he stays on FaceTime with her until she falls asleep.
Like, it’s not that far off from things that have happened on this show.Īlex does not get eaten by her dog. In all honesty, I was starting to wonder if this whole thing was going to end with Alex Levy being eaten by her dog on the kitchen floor while an acoustic version of “Nothing’s Gonna Harm You” played. But the whole thing goes on a little too long, and things get bad in that apartment. That marble tub and that shower with, what, a teak floor? That’s a rich person’s bathroom, and I’m happy to stare at it. The silver lining of this entire section is that we get a few great looks at Alex’s fabulous bathroom. Do we need to watch multiple montages of someone battling COVID? No. She’s not having breathing issues, so she is advised not to go to the hospital, but her symptoms are severe. Whether she contracted it in Italy with Mitch - it’s been almost 14 days now - or once she was back in NYC, no one knows for sure. Someone tell this man to get a grip, please.Īlex Levy has COVID. Last season he risked his career for Alex this season he’s risking his life. And sometimes even when she needs something.
I’m talking about how she is always awful to him unless she needs something. He’s still in love with this woman? After everything?! And I’m not even talking about how she screamed at him that she would never suck his dick, though that should’ve at least given him pause. Why in the actual world would he risk getting a deadly disease - in March 2020!! No one knew anything about COVID!! - for Alex freaking Levy.
As we arrive at the finale of the second season of The Morning Show, I have a very serious question to ask: Is Chip Black the biggest idiot on the planet? No, seriously, I’m asking.
