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. However, some critics argue it strays from the original's baseball focus and lacks historical authenticity. Complaints about anachronistic elements and overemphasis on social issues arise. Acting and character development receive mixed feedback, with compelling performances for some and shortcomings for others.

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!
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 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!!
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'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.
