A Great New Series that Does Justice to the Great Game of Baseball
Anyone hating on this new series either hates baseball or women but probably both. It's not that far outside the realm of the possible for a woman to make it into the bigs. With that said this show is a blast for fans of the game. Great writing and directing backed up with crazy good productions values makes this series outshine most good baseball movies and it also has such an air of authenticity about it. The major contributors to this authentic quality are the actors, all of whom are definitely big leaguers. It also doesn't hurt that the protagonist is one of the most beautiful women to grace film or TV. She also looks like a pro athlete.They use the traditions of baseball to tell the narrative and baseball traditions make for a great story. Baseball has a way of playing out a drama that the writers have plugged into for maximum effect, like in episode 3 with the bean ball incident. Any fan of the game knows exactly how these things play out so this great story just wrote itself. Well done! A couple of the negative reviews I've seen thus far make me wonder if these guys are watching the same show. I couldn't disagree more. So far this has been one of the best new shows in a long time.
