A League of Their Own

"Watched 1st 3 episodes. The period piece stuff is straight , the game action is better than most. The cast is wonderful and they are telling stories that need to be told. But I’m just bored watching it. Seems like a network show. Not sure what it’s missing but it’s something. "

"I really enjoyed this show ! I already quite liked the movie so this was just fun to watch. Lots of good characters and I liked how they had their own plot lines. It kept it entertaining. "

"Adapting a film that has so much cultural familiarity is tricky, but this was well done! It retains a lot of the joy from the original while delving much deeper into the reality of the player’s lives and experiences, particularly around race and sexuality. And there’s nuance and complexity there, too - there’s not one Black experience or one queer experience but many. I didn’t mind the occasionally anachronistic language or music, and I thought there were just enough Easter eggs to please fans of the 1992 movie. The cast is incredible from top to bottom. I hope this becomes as beloved as the movie. "

"I love the story of girls baseball starting up. However I’m not entirely sure about this adaptation yet. I thought the point of the show was to be able focus on other characters as well.. dive deeper into them. So far it’s the two friends, Shaw, and max. And of course max’s friend. I defiantly think they could have done more with the other characters on the team. I’m not yet finished with the season, so maybe they will but from looks of it .. it doesn’t seem like it. "

"Absolutely Stellar Cast & Story!Abbi Jacobson hits a GRAND SLAM with this series! Search no further for your next Binge-Watch!"

"I loved the movie so decided to try it out. I’m four or five episodes in so far and am enjoying it a lot so far. I do miss some of the characters from the original movie but I love the more in depth storyline of how women’s baseball began and what is was like for women in the early 40s"

"One of my favorites. Tom Hanks and Geena Davis are brilliant. "

"The film to series adaptation I didn't know we needed. Strongly recommend 👌 "

"Lesbians! Lesbians Everywhere! MWAAA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA"

"Watched the entire season in one day. It was entertaining. Definitely a lot more realistic and inclusive than the movie—from what I’ve read the girls all-American league had its fair share of lesbian women. The show does illustrates the difference between a white woman’s opportunities vs a queer black person’s opportunities back in the 1940s. I really liked this show and I will watch any subsequent seasons. It isn’t fair to compare the show to the movie as it would be the same as comparing apples to oranges. "
