The Morning Show

Apple TV+ launched on November 1 with only a handful of shows, including fan-favorite "Dickinson," space race drama "For All Mankind" and dystopian drama "See," among others.

However, "The Morning Show," which deals with the aftermath of a sexual misconduct scandal in the world of morning TV, is easily the best Apple TV+ series thanks to its star power.

Even reviewers admitted that Jennifer Anniston's performance has been phenomenal in it.

All in all, Apple TV Plus was shut out at its first-ever Golden Globes, which is a disappointment to its producers "When those reviews came in, I didn't know what show they were watching," Leder said at a media conference in Los Angeles last month.

I thought they were nuts. I thought there were a lot of Apple haters who just wanted Apple to fail. The reviews felt like an attack on Apple.

The #MeToo-inspired series was nominated in two categories at the 77th annual ceremony: drama series and TV drama actress for both Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Neither star won.
