Or maybe they, like the Westside Ripper merch guy, are just following a lucrative trend with the assumption that the subject matter will sell itself. True crime has taken over the documentary space, proving a reliable audience attractor for streaming platforms, network and cable channels.

Maybe Rosenberg and Peacock, whose library is as rich in true crime as that of any streaming service, made a conscious choice to avoid alienating a valuable audience. False confessions and authentic admissions. True Story is ultimately unsatisfying-in part because the season ends so abruptly, but mostly because it has so little to say about the genre it’s supposedly critiquing.

Peacock’s Based on a True Story, whose eight-episode first season drops on June 8, is another to add to the pile.A half-hour comedy thriller apparently designed for fans of tongue-in-cheek. Bateman effectively mixes up the show’s energy, importing lupine intensity from past roles in projects like Netflix’s bonkers domestic thriller Behind Her Eyes. Cuoco and Messina, both beloved sitcom veterans, were endearing enough to keep me from hating their unhinged characters her flustered charm complements his running-on-empty peevishness.
