Based on a True Story (2023)
Acting is Great but Writing is Really Awful
The acting is great. It's just that the writing is really, really awful. The storyline is a stretch to start with. I think to make this idea work the writers and directors would have to walk a tightrope (considering the storyline) to deliver it in a way that's believable and funny. And they don't. It's pretty bad. I stuck with it through 6 episodes because I really like Kaley Cuoco, but she can't even carry this. I really like the actors - all of them. But the dialogue is trashy. It's like a teenage boy wrote this. No one is like-able in it. I wanted to like this so much, but it is just really bad. I only gave it the 5 stars that I did for her because she is really good in anything. But, like I said, she can't even carry this. It's like a fourteen year old boy wrote it. Just gross. I kept staring at the screen thinking - I know they did not just say/do that. I can't believe how much talent they were able to pull together for this. Whoever wrote/produced/directed it must have a lot of friends and influence in Hollywood. But what a miss this is. Don't waste your time.

This series of interviews covered historical and current change makers - women - who have and are still bringing progress on so many fronts - in legal, medical, and social arenas. They spent time with women who have been pushing the envelope for decades along with those who are new to the front lines of progress. They included black leaders, indigenous leaders, LGBTQ leaders, and other minorities. It was inspiring. It made me hopeful. In an era when the voice of a fraction of extremists is given a megaphone and so much influence via social media and the 24 hour news cycle (I see the onslaught of negativity from this bunch in the reviews here) this is a reminder that there are good people out there who are working hard to bring progress and justice and they aren't giving up. It makes me want to find more ways to contribute. I'm grateful for this and I hope there will be more to come from these two!
