TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury) is the first female MLB player and the new pitcher for the San Diego Padres. Mike Lawson (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) is the veteran catcher on the last leg of his celebrated career. Oscar Arguella (Mark Consuelos) is the GM. Outfielder Blip Sanders (Mo McRae) and his wife Evelyn (Meagan Holder) are Ginny's friends. Al Luongo (Dan Lauria) is the gruff, old-fashion manager. Ginny's father is dead and her brother is desperate to cash in on her fame. Amelia Slater (Ali Larter) quits her job to be solely her manager with assistant Eliot (Tim Jo).This could have been a bad gimmicky TV show. The use of real MLB teams helps a lot but it's Bunbury that makes this show works. She has great sincerity and terrific charms. Gosselaar is now a veteran of TV acting and uses it to deliver a veteran performance. This is a solid show although it only lasted one season with ten episodes.

I was skeptic about this show's success, but I was very intrigued right away. I am a big baseball fan, but I thought it would be too feminist for me. I am a guy that is bigly anti-feminism (not to be confused with sexist) and thought it's focus would be too much on that. Although there was some of that, it focused on the baseball element and that it was tougher biologically for a woman than for a man. Acting is good, love how they can incorporate MLB teams (I thought I saw Andrew McCutchen batting for the Dodgers). Give this show a shot. It kind of reminds me of Arrow, with the constant flashbacks. However some of the flashbacks are very entertaining seeing Ginny's minor league days. Even the style of baseball played by the actors is fooling, because it looks pretty legit, especially with the FOX Sports layout for the games on television. MLB should invest in more baseball TV Series', because this is very good.

I like this show. I think it has great potential, a strong cast and an excellent premise. It's about time we start see TV shows featuring female athletes. I actually teared up in the pilot seeing the "fans" react to Ginny arriving at the stadium. This show is inspiring. It also has great life lessons in it, about not admitting defeat and finding your own path to pursue your dreams. No two journeys will be the same and I love that this show is highlighting that. I'm excited to see where this show goes. It has great potential to really reshape how we think about professional sports and demonstrate a different society. I wish the cast and crew all the best and hope they take this opportunity to really make a mark with this show.

I watched the pilot for this new Fox drama last night, about the first fictional female MLB player. I didn't quite know who the lead, Kylie Bunbury is, but see she has been in some films I've never seen -- "The Sitter", "Prom", etc.. She is an absolute delight. Mark-Paul Gosselaar is also good as the team's veteran player and captain who sorta takes her under his wing. And really good touch what they did with the lead character's father, without giving anything away. I don't know if he'll continue to be in the rest of the series the way they've set it up, but it might actually work if they choose to go that route. I am definitely looking forward to episode 2!
