Ingenue Eve Harrington schemed her way past Margo Channing to claim the spotlight in “All About Eve,” and Apple TV‘s “The Morning Show” has a similar theme, with Reese Witherspoon‘s outspoken journalist Bradley Jackson positioned to take the limelight from longtime morning news host Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston). In this case, though, Bradley is an unwilling participant in the power play between Alex and the network suits unlike the deliberately calculating Eve, but Witherspoon’s role could put her in the spotlight anyway.
Bradley is arguably the most sympathetic character in “The Morning Show” since she speaks her mind and wants nothing more than to escape the cutthroat machinations of the broadcast TV business. But Witherspoon also has the benefit of one of the drama’s showiest roles. When we first meet her she’s pushed to the brink while covering a protest at a coal mine, delivering a tirade that goes viral.
