Since November, the streaming war has been going on.
Apple and Disney with their own dramas have begun to compete for this big cake, and the spring of drama fans has come.
Judging from the current results, Apple, which started with four original opening dramas, is very ambitious.
And among these four, the relatively good results are the ones introduced today .
Morning News
the morning show
At present, Douban has a score of 8.5 and imdb 8.2 points.
Cass has a strong lineup, and Jennifer Aniston, who plays Rachel in "Friends", becomes a hardcore anchor in this series, Alex.
Her partner is The Gold Medal Male Anchor Mitch Kessler, played by Steve Carell.
The two have worked together for 15 years on the Morning News, and are the "golden couple" on the TV screen, and they are the most popular and beloved celebrities in the spotlight.
However, two hot searches in succession not only broke the relationship between the two, but also made their position precarious and even collapsed.
First, Mitchell was exposed to a sex scandal, and the television station he worked for was immediately dismissed, and everyone drew a line with him, fearing that his negative news would affect his status and interests.
Worst of all, he didn't even have a chance to speak for himself, and could only passively accept it all.
Alex's side is not feeling good either.
In dealing with all these emergencies in front of the public, we must also keep our ideas and try to keep the career and status that we have worked hard for many years.
Everyone in the workplace is looking forward to her mistakes and collapsing.
The TV station wanted to keep the advertisers and the audience, felt that she had no freshness for the audience, and wanted to take the opportunity to replace her.
Competitors are deliberately trying to contact the parties involved in the sexual assault incident and let their own ratings go up.
Even colleagues are staring at Mitchell's vacant seat...
All in all, Alex was attacked on her stomach and back, and how big the aura on her head was, how heavy the physical and mental torment was.
Everyone thinks about their own interests, and only hopes that the heat of this matter will dissipate and not affect themselves.
However, in this matter, the fall of a certain celebrity, that is, the exposure of Mitchie's sexual assault, does not mean that this matter is over.
On the contrary, this is just opening a tiny opening, and deeper reasons are still to come.
Here we will introduce the second hot search event, that is, Bradley, played by another heroine of the show, Reese Witherspoon (the heroine of "Big Little Lies" and the Oscar queen).
Unlike Eric, who immediately cuts ties and thinks only about her own interests, Bradley can be said to be extremely rare to stick to her journalistic ideals.
She was capable, but her job changed one after another, because no one liked her, and her boss preferred to give her a good position to someone much worse than her.
Only because she is too paranoid, does not compromise for capital, and eats ideals as food.
When she went to the coal mine for an interview, the assistant was knocked to the ground by the angry youth who did not know the truth, and at the same time scolded her for reporting fake news.
In a fit of rage, she grabbed the other person's collar and asked the other party, what is fake news? What is real news?
The other side couldn't say anything.
She asked the other person again: "Tell me five facts about the coal mine, and I will let you go!" ”
But the other party swallowed and spit, and could not say anything.
Real, too real!
Similar events occur in reality, and many people obviously do not understand what the matter itself is, and they do not care what the truth is. All they want to see is hilarity, all they want is fun.
They don't care what the incident is, it doesn't matter if there is a truth or not, they stand in line at will, and oppose everything that does not conform to their own views.
They participate in these events, just to vent their anger through these things, without thinking, and if there is really a truth, people do not want to know the truth.
Bradley's incident was filmed by others and posted on the Internet, but she did not expect to make her angry and become an Internet celebrity.
This incident also made her unable to stay in the original working environment and voluntarily resigned.
On this side, Alex's TV station wants to interview her and alleviate the impact of Mitchell's sexual assault case.
However, in the interview, Alex questioned the performance component of her video, and Bradley did not show weakness, making her more popular than the original.
For Alex, who was already in a precarious position, in order to gain the initiative, she found an opportunity to turn her situation around.
At an award-receiving event, he voluntarily announced that his new partner was Bradley.
This move shocked everyone, and it was an unexpected development for Bradley.
However, Alex's trick may not be completely as desired, bradley is not the kind of obedient, easy to manipulate.
It turned out not to be.
Later, when interviewing the parties involved in Mitch's sexual assault, she did not rehearse according to the predetermined script, but through the mouths of the parties, let us discover a deeper workplace culture.
As a news workplace drama, the professionalism of "Morning News" naturally cannot be compared with the classic "Newsroom".
It mixes issues — abortion, sexual harassment in the workplace, family issues, and so on — with the office's blood relationship.
On the surface, it is a commercial news environment full of various office chaos, competition for workplace interests, and capitalism.
In fact, although it is not very in-depth, it reflects many real-world problems.
For example, the interview with the victim in the fourth episode of the small climax points directly to the workplace culture.
We see that victims are sometimes not only victims, but even perpetrators.
The exposure of powerful figures, although it can usher in a deep satisfaction for the public for a while, does not mean that the problem has been solved.
This kind of holistic problem that covers the systemic, toxicity hidden in the shadows is the soil for cultivating one vicious event after another.
And when we're faced with thin, shiny screens, the darkness is untouched.
They are silent, do not touch the law, but can destroy life, can be described as a silent destruction.
It's a good habit to like it!
