I commend the team for putting something together to fill this slot. It can't be easy to produce a daily show when we're in lockdown. I do think it's pretty terrible so far though.
My main issue is the quality of the presenter, but she isn't helped by the banality of the content. Steph McGovern used to be a business correspondent for the BBC and I thought she was pretty good there. I had it on each morning and felt that she did a decent job of talking about the markets etc, and she had a nice enough personality etc. All fine.
However, I really don't think this new career hosting her own light entertainment show is her forte. Firstly, she radiates uncertainty and unease. I never feel comfortable that she's completely in control and driving the show like I do when I watch the presenters of other morning shows.
Next, she doesn't seem to listen to her guests' answers when she interviews them. She asks a (usually boring) question, the guest responds, and rather than building on their response and having a bit of a conversation she says something like "yeah, yeah" and asks something different. There isn't much to talk about in a lockdown but I think a better interviewer would give the viewer at home an interesting conversation to watch.
Next, I think she waffles quite a lot. I don't know if she has a script but it feels to me like there is no script and the producers have just said to her "right, we need you to fill these next 3 minutes". She'll start talking about something and by the time she's moving on to the next segment you're not really sure what the point of what she just said was. I think she'd be better if she had a script, memorised it and just read that rather than spouting aimlessly.
Maybe the show will improve when it has a live audience and studio guests. I'm sure the absence of that has been a real challenge because it usually makes a show sizzle, and this show definitely doesn't sizzle at the moment.
My overall verdict is that this is an amateur production with an amateur presenter that does not deserve its slot on Channel 4.
