Summary
Reviewers say 'A League of Their Own' is lauded for its diverse representation, nuanced storytelling, and historical accuracy. The show expands on the original movie's themes, highlighting personal stories and social issues like LGBTQ+ representation and racial inequality.

Acting and character development receive mixed feedback, with compelling performances for some and shortcomings for others.

It's funny, it's well written, it's got great casting! It's got heart too, I don't know what more you could want! Excellent show! I''my always up for an all women cast, but they really did well casting the right women, in this one.
I don't understand the bad reviews!!! I think the show is well written and has a lot of heart. I like that there are multiple storylines and they incorporate a lot of important topics. I would like to note that these storylines aren't about being "woke"- as some reviews have stated. All of the topics and issues included have always been around! So, sit back and enjoy the show!!
And this show is the best show I've seen all year. Immediately addicted. Cup filled up and overflowing with gratitude for the queer stories told in this show. Deserves all the praise. Thank you for making a life changing masterpiece.
If you're here to figure out if you should watch this show or not, filter out any review with the words "woke" or "historically inaccurate" and go from there. Reading these reviews, we must have watched different shows- the costumes are gorgeous, there's tons of baseball scenes, and the characters are nuanced and authentic. It's almost like people are more critical of stories featuring women, especially Black and gay women... Overall I would highly recommend this show- it has the spirit of the movie, with in my opinion better developed characters and unparalleled performances!
Enjoyable series! Great representation across the board. Lots of humor and heart. If you enjoy shows like Mrs. Maisel or Hacks or anything based around women, especially LGBTQ women (of all backgrounds), you'll enjoy this one. Highly recommended.
