	Media	Author	Review
		Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"This gorgeous baseball drama is about something far bigger than sport (...) [This] remake is touching, funny –and even better than the original- (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Travers ABC News	"'A League of Their Own' is eager to remind us that ignoring history leaves us damned to repeat it (...) Season 1 leaves us hanging in hopes for a better and more cohesive season 2"
		Cristina Escobar rogerebert.com	"A show that is more fun than the original (...) The 2022 'A League of Their Own' is so much better at telling the tale of this moment in women's history, finding the real joy that only comes when not shying away from injustice"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"This series, accomplished though it is, has made its characters so far ahead of their time that they sometimes seem to be from nowhere"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"Like a slow curveball that finds the heart of the plate, the Prime Video series is a reboot that takes its time connecting but ultimately hits home"
		Josh Spiegel SlashFilm	"Parts of 'A League of Their Own' work, on their own, but when this show feels the need to re-connect itself to its source material, it stumbles"
		Graeme Guttmann Screen Rant	"A near-perfect update on the original movie, 'A League of Their Own' is a joy to watch thanks to a stellar cast & modern perspective on the time period"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"Ambitious but uneven (...) [It] doesn't go down in the box score as an unqualified success, but credit the producers with an interesting idea, slickly produced, which feels a bit too stretched and slow spread over eight episodes"
		Melissa Bernardo The Wrap	"[It] does a terrific job addressing both the camaraderie among the women and the terrible reasons they need to hide their sexuality"
		Marya E. Gates The Playlist	"While this new iteration of 'A League of Their Own' has its heart in the right place, it tries to do too much and succeeds in doing very little in the end"
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"This reboot hits the sweet spot [and] expands the Peaches' universe in diverse and meaningful ways"
		Tara Bennett IGN	"'A League of Their Own' is one of the best reimaginings of a beloved movie into a series out there (...) [It] gives us a more in-depth dramatization of the women playing the game"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"[Its] goal is to extend a sense of rightness to all its characters, for all the qualities that make them feel like messes or misfits. It doesn't always hit it out of the park. But its hearty swings are worth a cheer of their own"
		Joel Keller Decider	"This new version explores territory that the original movie didn't even attempt to explore. Whether that makes the series a coherent whole is yet to be seen. But it certainly is off to a good start"
		Jenna Scherer AV Club	"Compelling character arcs, natural comedic chemistry, and attention to period details and social issues, 'A League Of Their Own' is only just getting started"
		Kelly Connolly TV Guide	"Keeping viewers on their toes works for comedic effect, too, giving the series a dry sense of humor that cuts through its warmth"
		Melanie McFarland Salon	"[It] isn't one story built around a highly engaging main character but two plots running in parallel (...) If it manages to earn another season, hopefully its creators will take that as a signal that it's OK to merge paths"
		Rebecca Landman Collider	"A series [that] sets out to widen the cherished classic's original storytelling lens, offering new stories of queerness and the Black experience that the original movie didn't have space to tackle"
		Whitney Friedlander Paste Magazine	"Jacobson and Graham have used a known IP to spend worthwhile time digging deeper into that time period’s veneer of ragged hair and men in crisp uniforms who make women swoon"
