Producers of The Morning Show, which stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, have spoken in an interview about the low ratings from critics. Leder, one of the two producers, said that she feels that many of the critics were Apple haters, which is why the ratings were not as good as expected.

Producers Mimi Leder and Kerry Ehrin sat down for an interview at Recode’s Code Media conference where Leder had the following to say:
“When those reviews came in, I didn’t know what show they were watching. And I just kind of thought they were nuts,” said Leder, director and executive producer of the show, who is known for her previous work on shows like ER and The West Wing. “I just felt there were a lot of Apple haters and wanting Apple to fail.”
Before the show even aired, websites had already written negative reviews of The Morning Show, citing issues with change in producers and its theme.
Unlike earlier rumored, the producers also said that Apple has given them more creative freedom than they ever had before. Even before Apple TV+ launched, news reports were out about how Apple is overly controlling and wants just family friendly content. So far, the TV shows, and now the producers, confirm that it was not the case.
On Rotten Tomatoes, critics have given a 63% average rating to The Morning Show, while the average audience rating is 95%.
