Based on a True Story: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Audience Reviews

Anna L Concept is just okay. When they are nervous about getting caught they talk too much and it gets a bit much. There is also no chemistry between Kaley & Chris, just dialogue. I think they need writers from the broadcast shows not from streaming shows to elevate the dialogue & add in arcs. The writers seem to be having a hard time filling the blanks with dialogue. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review NThank Y Such a waste of time only for them to get nowhere and tell no actual story. I kept expecting something, or hoping for something. It just never came. I also didn’t laugh. It wasn’t funny, though it was listed as a comedy.SPOILERS AHEAD:Even the murder was ridiculous. It is one thing to think you know who the serial killer is and convince him to do a podcast. It is a totally different thing to be an accomplice and cover up his murder of your friend that you had nothing to do with. Them calling the police and turning him in would have made more sense. Then, the police not being able to find him and him calling them to taunt them could have been their nonsensical cliffhanger, if they wanted one so badly.I was honestly expecting them to find out that he wasn’t actually the killer and that their podcast really was fake. Or, something like that. I don’t know… anything to give it a point.I also thought the excessive use of fake scenes that just wound up being imaginary and/or dreams was ridiculous and purposely confusing. It just became too much, to the point where you stop believing everything and just assume they are going to “reveal” that the entire series is really just a dream, which… I honestly don’t even care anymore. I’m done with this show. I had hope. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Claudia P Love it! Although macarbe, it is somewhat a refreshing storyline. The actors cast are perfect for the show. I hope there's a Season 2. It's like Dexter meets The Real Housewives 🤩 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Mary M I was enjoying this show but each episode got increasingly darker. Something despicable happened in the season finale and now I’m disgusted that I’d watched the show at all. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Roger G This is a great show. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Nashville I It's not the best. There's no mystery, and honestly all of the characters are pretty annoying. You may alternate between who to root against the most, based on who's whining more.The whole premise of using a serial killer to profit isn't very exciting, based on the way Peacock's got it set up.
