Jennifer Aniston Shines, But Even She Can't Save This Trainwreck of a Script - Is the Behind-the-Scenes TV Drama Worth Watching?

This show had me thinking of a soap opera. Jennifer Aniston is, of course, the queen of drama, but even with her, I just couldn't get into this chaotic mess.

What I liked:✅ The behind-the-scenes look at a TV studio was actually pretty interesting - it felt like a breath of fresh air compared to most other shows.

✅ Jennifer Aniston's performance was mesmerizing, as always. She's on top of her game here - exuding confidence even in the midst of internal conflict, smiling graciously, and not succumbing to coldness like Angelina Jolie, for example. I also love Maggie Gyllenhaal in the American ones)✅ The show was stylish enough, with the women looking well-groomed and put together, especially Jennifer with her natural style :)

✅ There was a bit of intrigue at the beginning, with hints at what was to come.

✅ The show tackled some tough topics - specifically, the problem of human flaws, like the pursuit of ratings, monetizing hype, and scandals. According to the plot, there was a stable morning show, and then suddenly a series of scandals started unfolding one after another.

What really caught my attention was the way the show pandered to the female audience.After watching it a few times, I couldn't help but think that every word mattered, because there were consequences.The show ended up being more depressing than interesting. The career-driven characters were running around for no apparent reason, getting upset when they were called out, and the families were shown to be fearful. The overall picture of the series came across as strange, superficial, and weak.What didn't impress me:💥 The script started to slide into melodrama from the very beginning, with no real media analysis, just a bunch of hysterics, screams, and conflicts. From the start, it was all chaos, with way too much unnecessary dialogue like it was the norm.

💥 Reese Witherspoon overacted, it felt forced, and it wasn't her role at all. Her character was constantly whining and suffering, didn't even get to the point of righteous indignation, just got upset and went with the flow, used profanity. She's beautiful, emotional, but unpleasant to watch, and she's the second main character here.

💥 The cussing and overall chaos, too much aggression and cynicism, it was just too much. The characters were always screaming, freaking out, getting angry, using a lot of profanity, and arguing. And they exaggerated the problems too much for those kinds of reactions - it wasn't as bad as they made it out to be.

I have to say, this show was dragging on and felt watered down. Sometimes I found myself getting annoyed with how slow the pace was. It was like, one thing after another, but each episode felt like it was stuck on one spot. Maybe it was interesting in a weird way, like when you get to see some rich guy struggling with his coffee machine for a whole minute.I wouldn't say this show was bad, but it wasn't for me. I realized I was watching it just for Jennifer Aniston's amazing work.She's indispensable here, but her character was all over the place, super annoying, and always on edge. She was like a person on the verge of a leap of faith.I decided to stop watching, but I might consider it again just to see Jennifer's performance. Unfortunately, the storyline didn't stick with me - it felt like a downhill slide.I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
