Vanessa S @motherofmovies Mar 25 "Based on a True Story is what happens when a desperate couple looks at a serial killer and sees a business model instead of a 911 call." – Mother of Movies See more J T @UtahRondo Jan 14 Interesting premise if you turn your brain off. You have to try to think how someone with no morals, living in the hellscape that is California would think. The show has interesting moments, but overall it is not good. Every character is super unlikeable because every character is a terrible person. It is also overly gory and way over the top in terms of the sexual nature of the show and constant innuendo. Overall, I see why it was cancelled after 2 seasons. See more marvin n @RT49746518 Dec 25 I can't stand this Cuoco person and the show's premise is sick See more L. F @RT68678650 Sep 18 It is what it is - A light, easy to watch comedy-drama which pokes fun at the true crime genre and world of endless podcasts. Sadly, the over-use of dream/fantasy sequences became a little tiresome. Having this happen multiple times (sometimes within the same episode!) meant that they lost their impact and felt predictable. Other than that, the storyline kept my attention and I thought it was well acted.

Sort of show you can binge in an afternoon if you're after something breezy and not very challenging. See more Read all reviews
