It's a small part of this otherwise okay episode, but dear U. S. A., why every time it's about something beyond your borders, the ignorance and carelessness just shine through? You could spend so much budget shooting scenes in Italy, and you couldn't make the easier parts bearable? First of all, the stereotype of an Italian woman who would even retaliate by singing about Mussolini? Is there anything else from that country besides Mussolini and gelato? Then her use of the word "scofflaw," which is not only a highly unusual word to be used even in the States, but it's also an informal North American term? Why in the world would an Italian ever use that word? There's absolutely no reason.
The script, albeit generally well-written, also suffers from a lack of flow. It feels like it's been overly workshopped.
Also there's no flight as long as 23 hours (let alone direct flight to Wuhan). The current longest flight is NYC-Singapore at 18 hours 40 mins.
Do better, The Morning Show. You've got the production budget that anyone could ever dream of. Be better than people showcased in Youtube videos who could never name anything beyond the borders of the country. Put in some, any, efforts in trying to learn how others think and behave. Don't just use a country as a nice backdrop and their countrymen's accents as quirky pops of colors when it's convenient.
