When the reviews began to appear, I didn't know which series they were watching. And I just kind of thought they were all crazy. I felt that there were many haters Apple and people wanting Apple to fail. The good news is that people love the series, and we love the series, and that is what matters.

In fact, there is a large disparity between assessments of “The Morning Show” critical and public: in the Rotten Tomatoes aggregator, the series has 63% approval of specialized critics and 95% approval of the general audience.

We focus only on the story we are telling, the characters we have. We are into it. So when you see the critics who are seeing it from the business side, like "what Apple is doing" or "they spent too much money on it," that's kind of separate from us.
