Based On A True Story (Series 1): Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Gleeful satire about true-crime podcasting starring Kaley Cuoco
Year: 2023
Certificate: 15
True crime has become the genre of the 21st century, be it in podcast, TV documentary or 'based on truth' drama form. This American satire jumps on that train with glee, with Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina as an unfulfilled suburban couple who start a podcast to find a serial killer who's stalking Los Angeles.
Cuoco (The Flight Attendant) and Messina (The Mindy Project) are both charming actors in their own right, but their chemistry together here makes them irresistible, and gives the series - which some might see as a copycat of Only Murders In The Building - an energy all of its own, one that will quickly suck you in and leave you wondering where those eight episodes went. The show was a hit in the US, and a second series followed. (Eight episodes)
