    They could have made a show about modern women's softball with a trans-gender male trying out for the team.

    This is a TERRIBLE show. I could barely finish two episodes. This is basically the L word with 5% baseball thrown in. It's too preachy and annoying. This has nothing to do with the original movie AT ALL except that they share the same uniforms. It's slow, directionless, and lacks any humor or connection to characters. It doesn't know what it wants to be, but a great baseball show it's not.This is a TERRIBLE show. I could barely finish two episodes. This is basically the L word with 5% baseball thrown in.

It's a lesbian romance drama with a fraction of sport added in. Offerman is not Tom Hanks, and the lead actress is really out of her depth in this role. She's better suited to **** buddy comedies. Just watch the original movie. I can't believe this even had the nerve to call itself A League of Their Own. I don't want to use the word woke, but man, this puts more effort into what it THINKS society wants to see (lesbians struggling in the 50s and entire racial issues subplot that doesn't tie into the plot at all) than just telling a good story. Skip it. Its trash trash trash.… Expand

    A far cry from the movie in the nineteen nineties. I wish I could unwatch it.

    The show breaks what was great about the original movie.
    Silly modern-day identity politics, anachronic situations... bad writing.
    This is nothing but a shoehorned load of garbage. A classic feminist movie ruined by these garbage inserts.
    I can't believe I gave it more than 5 minutes, but I give each show I watch at least 2 episodes. The show is awful.

    When the creator takes to Twitter to beg for fake reviews, you do not need to know anything else but to avoid this at all costs.

    I have to agree with these negative reviews. I thought this would be more about baseball and why the league happened more than focusing on lesbian relations and race from the get go. The show jumps back and forth too much, trying to sneak in humour here and there, then back to WOKE issues. Too bad, thought would do well and looked forward to a woman sports-related tv show.

    this is not historical and doesnt do any justice to the original movie and any actors who "star" in this pile of dung have earned a lifelong dislike for trying to alter the past to create this monstrous present we live in 1984 style..

    Whoever had the idea to take a classic and ruin it with just about every current day woke point grabbing cliche there is really should have stayed in bed that day. About the only thing that is not terrible about the movie is the costumes. The roles are terribly written, you don't like a single person in the show and none of them have the charm of the original cast.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have almost finished watching the entire season. So far, it’s quite entertaining. The series feels different from the movie - as it should. Episodic television and single feature films are different media art forms. 30 years have passed since Penny Marshall’s film hit the theaters. In 2022, we are no longer sugarcoating racism and pretending lesbian relationships haven’t existed for centuries. Not surprised to see a flood of “0” ratings from neocons Neanderthals. Anything remotely evolved in social content is immediately labeled “woke.” I think Penny Marshall would be overjoyed by this updated take on her great film.… Expand

    I have to say, I was surprised I liked this! I'm not a sports person at all, but I actually ended up learning about baseball and didn't hate it! I'm really looking forward to season two.

    Great show, not for everyone but a lot of heart, humour, and handles some complex topics with finesse and grace.

    Presenting Max's and Carson's storylines separately acknowledges the reality of segregation in Jim Crow America. But this also means Max doesn't get to participate in the heights of each Peaches victory or the nail-biting worry of the team's setbacks. The scripts create an engaging arc through which Max discovers where she belongs, but she's never a fully enfranchised participant in their emotional highs and lows. ... Still, their earnest effort to do right by her comes off well.

    This “League” is like someone took the original concept and found a new playbook. It works, but it’s also more adult than you could imagine. ... Because there are so many players to consider, they’re often reduced to their personality traits or positions. They all get playing time. Some, however, are more prominent than others.

    This "A League of Their Own" does what any successful remake must: it finds its own voice, standing apart from its predecessor while also honoring its legacy.
