Kaley Cuoco, Chris Messina, Liana Liberato, and Tom Bateman in Based on a True Story (2023)

Review by tomtesch

Based on a True Story

9/10

Get past 1st episode

I love a series which doesn't take itself too seriously. I wanted to throw the towel during the 1st episode as "Based on a true story" seemed to be predictable and uninspired. But then t got me hooked. The actors are great. Tom Bateman gives a career making performance. And Kuoco continues her winning streak, becoming America's next Goldie Hawn. This series has a lot of dark humor and keeps surprising me - which is exact what I want.

Since Öztürk I am a huge Jason Bateman fan. And knowing that he is one of "Based on a true story"'s producers is another indication that the series is worth watching . From my point of view it's an evolution of " Only murders in the building" and I like it a lot more.
