The Morning Show: Love Island (2023)
Season 3, Episode 5
This. Episode. Made. NO. Sense

Warning: Spoilers
This episode confused me so much. I actually thought this was an old episode from season 2 Apple TV was playing randomly. Then I thought, have they maybe accidentally published the wrong episode? Then I saw the episode title matched the IMDb title for today's episode, and I decided to sit it out... but... WTH?

All content from this episode would have been fine as content used in season 2. Or even as a total episode (although it completely lacked any build up or natural coherence across all the messy random segments) - but why suddenly dump all this chaotic context on the audience now? Why season 3, episode 5? This season takes place in a completely different moment in time. Plus, episode 4 contained storylines and a cliffhanger which didn't flow naturally into this episode at all. And all this episode's info would have been massively helpful for viewers to have had from the start, to understand what on earth was going on half the time in season 3 so far.

I love this show, but this episode seemed like someone lost it during season 2 and just found it again... The episode itself just doesn't flow at all. And all the season 3 narratives would've landed much better if the audience had actually known all this context much earlier.

Unusually poor work for a show as good as The Morning Show! Hope next episode picks up again in its normal pace / at the episode 4 cliffhanger...
