"A League of Their Own" | Series Premieres on Friday, Aug. 12 on Prime Video
Plot: A comedy series set in 1943 that follows Carson Shaw as she travels to Chicago to try out for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
Our Take: A League of Their Own evokes the joyful spirit of Penny Marshall's beloved classic, while widening the lens to tell the story of an entire generation of women who dreamed of playing professional baseball. The show takes a deeper look at race and sexuality, following the journey of a whole new ensemble of characters as they carve their own paths towards the field, both in the league and outside of it.
