The Representation of Sexual Harassment in The Morning Show

Abstract

As the result of the #MeToo Movement important topics concerning women's rights started to serve as the subject of films, television series and other TV programmes. The goal of this research is to explore how do these themes appear on screen and decide whether films or television series might provide a great platform for raising awareness of sexual harassment. For this, the streaming television series, "The Morning Show" is analysed. "The Morning Show" reflects on the #MeToo Movement, the topic of sexual harassment, employer liability, or romantic relationships in the workplace. Apart from the television series, recent research findings are also analysed.
