Based on a True Story

A married couple (Kaley Cuoco & Chris Messina) decides to jump on the true crime bandwagon by creating their own podcast. Things get interesting when they meet an actual serial killer (Tom Bateman) who decides to team up with them. This combo comedy/thriller mostly works, but like so many series now, it could have been shorter. If you wade thru the wasted scenes in the early eps, there are surprises and shocks to entertain. Cuoco always tries too hard to be funny, so she never works for me, but there are sufficient situations and other characters who add to the humor. The series has its flaws and takes a while to take off, but once it gets rolling the dark comic elements and shocking surprises manage to ultimately payoff. (It ends with a cliffhanger, signaling a 2nd season). 3 out of 5 stars (3 / 5)
