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.

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.

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.
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.

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!
