A League of Their Own

I've binged it twice since it was released and couldn't find a single thing I didn't like even on the second time around. It's funny, heart-warming, brilliantly produced, well written, well scored and well acted. Has the right amount of angst to pay off and there was no 'misery for misery's sake', which ruins so many other shows made today. This seems to have been written with the audience in mind, rather than to be groundbreaking or arty, and I mean that in the best possible way.

I wish I could erase it from my brain and watch it again for the first time. Loved it.

I actually enjoy watching Abbi Jacobson and saw the film and figured this would be a fun and entertaining show - and it is! Much more so than I had expected so, what a pleasant surprise - forgive me that this isn't more of a critical review as I am only on episode 1.

Watch 5 minutes of a show and tank its reviews because it doesn't meet your personal wants.

This show is great, not without some faults as anything would be, but try actually watching rather than listening to these reviews. Yes it focuses on the women and issues they faced rather than the baseball. If you ask me that makes for a much, much more entertaining and interesting series.

It was brilliant decision not to allow this show to mimic the film, and it was pure genius not to allow the film's iconic characters, played by Gena Davis and Tom Hanks, to become boldly visible within any scene. If it either had, this show would not have had the chance for its famous storyline to grow beyond the film. If it had, this storyline would never had the opportunity to widen and increase its depth with love, hate, bigotry, fear, friendship, and passion that was presented in every episode we are blessed to watch.

Yes this is "based on a true story" but that doesn't mean it has to 100% historically accurate! The Conjuring is also "based on a true story" and I'm pretty sure they took some liberties & added a lot to the original story to make it more interesting. Why should this be subjected to different rules?

I find it hilarious that so many were so surprised & complained that a tv show that's about women baseball players that is set in 1943 has a lot of gay characters & racism ....

If you're not a bigot & want to watch a good show give this a shot.

Im very sick of all the ignorance woven into so so so many reviews of movies & tv shows on this app.
