Audience Reviews for Based on a True Story: Season 1
-
Tasteless and slow. Had so much potential.
-
It's no Dexter. The show starts with a hook which is a couple uncovering a serial killer, and then goes nowhere very slowly. It's not especially funny or dramatic. And I am sick of watching images of women being mutilated. Boring.
-
It's already pretty gross that people actually look to true crime as a source of entertainment, but this show manages to be even more nonchalant about the topic. And it's not as if it's even redeemable in the clever and witty way that Only Murders is. Plus I have yet to meet a person that actually looks forward to anything featuring Kaley Cuoco or the Mindy Project guy.

Funny, intense and genuine. Must watch if you love waiting for the next shoe to drop
-
So I made it through 3 shows and didn't really find it funny. Certainly not what I had hoped for considering the cast. I'm no prude, but I do not care for a dozen F-bombs in every episode either. There are too many other shows to be seen, without wasting anymore time hoping for it to get better.
-
I really wanted to like it, but I couldn't even finish the first episode. Sadly disappointed.
-
Great dive, it was impossible to tear yourself away until end of the season! Definitely worth it 🔪
-
very entertaining, looking forward to another season hopefully
-
Great show, my wife and I enjoyed it equally. Only complaint was the trippy side "visions" every episode but made sense. Hope there is a second season!
-
I loved it! Great casting. Great acting.
