Review: ‘A League of Their Own’ has the heart of the film it reimagines—but too much contemporary flair does the series a disservice.
, and others—all too readily match the 2020s sensibility of the language. It’s a talented ensemble, but what they’re asked to play, and how they’ve chosen to play it, doesn’t always sync with what is supposed to be the world of the series.
Crucially, the series dives deeper into the political and social realities of its setting than did the film. Racial inequities are acknowledged throughout the show: Adams’s character, aspiring local pitcher Max, must venture down an almost entirely separate storyline from the members of the Peaches of Rockford, Illinois because she is banned from even trying out for the league that employs the rest of them.
The Millennial-inflected dialogue hampers that project, though. How much more keenly would we feel these women’s struggle, and their ecstatic release and discovery, if they were more firmly situated in the era the show is trying to enlighten? In its present form,seems lost in time, forsaking nuanced approximations of then for the comfortable looseness of today.affords the people of the past pleasures and joys they surely did have in those days, however clandestinely and riskily.
