What's not to love? It is funny and dramatic, the ensemble cast is incredibly talented and represents a very wide range of women which is sadly still not often the case nowadays, the costumes are to die for, and it tells stories that have rarely been told before and does it brilliantly! I think this is a very important show, and it blows my mind that it took pretty much 80 years for those narratives to be allowed to fully exist in the public eye.
I mean, I get it, this show is very unapologetically queer and might not necessarily be everybody's cup of tea, but please consider that you might not be the primary targeted audience here. In the meantime, there are thousands of people across the world (because, yes, the themes of existing as a woman in a men's world, or as a minority in a majority world, are pretty universal) who are feeling seen right now in those stories and that is what is important.
So yes, maybe you are a straight cis white man (to take an extreme example) and you don’t feel quite seen in this show, fair, but I bet you can find a dozen other shows that make you feel seen. And if you still don't, why don't you take the inspiration and write the story that makes you feel seen? Because, if anything, A League of Their Own is a powerful reminder that representation matters and if you tell your own story, other people will relate and feel seen as well.

One of the best series I've watched this year. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me feel excited and it made me think: it caused all the sensations that a really good series should cause.

Its hilarious to read the republicans reviews of this, makes me laugh. If you people understand how many gay and lesbian people there were in the world before they started showing it in series and movies. You people think they made this up.Its hilarious to read the republicans reviews of this, makes me laugh. If you people understand how many gay and lesbian people there were in the world before they started showing it in series and movies. You people think they made this up. They had to hide it guys, its not made up, its as real as it can be. But no, you will never accept that answer, its woke right, made up crap for feminists. Lol , as I said, you make me laugh. Now to the actual review. First two episodes are a bit slow but after that it kicks in. They have found some great actors to replace the original cast but with their own twist to it. And it works. Solid 8 of 10 for me Expand

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

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.

Great TV show. Good acting, I enjoyed the pacing and the dialogues. Not for bigots as it is LGBT and black friendly.

A League of Their Own is a hoot. And predictably, it seems that some people are mad because it takes some different angles compared to the original, shining a light on other identities and untold stories.

A League of Their Own is a hoot. And predictably, it seems that some people are mad because it takes some different angles compared to the original, shining a light on other identities and untold stories.

The importance of media like this cannot be overstated. I'm sorry that there are people who don't feel seen, or who are losing their minds over a couple of anachronisms, but those giving it 0 simply aren't being realistic. They have their own agendas and expectations and some of the commenters are truly laughable. I see one guy writing here 'This is practically offensive to me... This league was not about LGBTQ or feminism issues.' LMAO, get real dude. Dilute your perspective and acknowledge that other ones exist, both historically, and now. This show doesn't erase the movie or history, it just elevates things that were relegated to the background, or ignored altogether in the past.

The series itself is charming, witty, and the wonderful cast have palpable chemistry. It's always impressive when a show manages to fully flesh out an ensemble of this size, breathing so much life and individuality into the characters. Anyway I'd give it a solid 8/10 but I'm gonna rate 10 here to offset some of the overdramatic losers. Respect to Amazon for giving it a platform in the first place, and I really hope we'll see a S2 announcement soon.
