In Digital Spy‘s four-star review of season 1, Based on a True Story has been praised for its self-aware, unserious tone despite the nuanced subject matter.
The show occasionally takes aim at the true-crime craze and the industry of exploiting tragedy for content, but never takes itself too seriously – an approach which ultimately makes the absurd premise work.
Based on a True Story season 2 premiers on November 21 on Peacock in the US. In the UK, the show airs on Sky and NOW.
