According to THR critic Daniel Feinberg, the show struggled to find its focus and tone in the beginning but became more satisfying and confident by the end of the third episode. While Aniston, Witherspoon, and Crudup have potential to make the show enjoyable to watch, it is not enough for a recommendation yet, especially considering its high production cost and significance in the Streaming Wars.
Bel Powley, the English actress who portrays a personal assistant on the series, stood out with her fashion statement. She donned a one-of-a-kind tulle dress in white and blue hues, accentuated with puffy sleeves.
Michelle Meredith makes multiple appearances as Lindsey Sherman, sporting a stylish black and silver leopard print pantsuit paired with a sleek black bustier top.

Amber Friendly, who plays Layla Bell, added a splash of color to her outfit by pairing a silver dress with vibrant red heels and clutch. According to Ben Travers from IndieWire, the show trusts its story but lacks a clear message. Even with attractive cast members, the unclear purpose doesn’t keep the audience engaged. On the other hand, Paste’s Amy Amatangelo thinks the show is satisfactory but falls short of expectations for a streaming platform’s flagship program. The series tackles the timely issue of the #MeToo movement within the world of morning news casts, which still grapple with accusations against high-profile anchors such as Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose.
Krys Marshall went the extra mile to coordinate her makeup look with her outfit by using purple eyeliner that perfectly complemented her tulle dress.
