While we still like seeing Cuoco and the rest of the cast of Based On A True Story, we’re still not buying that the Season 2 story will be as good as what we saw in Season 1.

Putting characters in a rut as a spark for change is a tried and true dramatic convention, but the trick is to avoid the audience feeling like the plot itself is in a rut, and that's a challenge that Season 2 doesn't quite ace. It ends on a strong set of episodes but makes for an uneven watch overall.

The messaging is all over the place because the show wants to have its cake and eat it too. What’s more, those final episodes have twists and turns that come off like frantic attempts to set up a potential third season.
