Man. I was SO wrong about #LeagueOfTheirOwn I have a weird relationship with the movie where I appreciate a lot about it but don't really like it, and I feared this would be the same...also my bar for "too saccharine" and "too earnest" is very low...so yeah, I was nervous...
...but I definitely want to support more great female driven, more queer driven, and more diversity driven content...so it felt like something I should at least try. Also, big fan of Abbi Jacobson and realizing she was not only starring in, but creating/writing was big...
...and...well...I absolutely love it. I'm 5 episodes in & it's absolutely charming and delightful -- emotional but well balanced & genuinely funny. It's honestly just terrific and seeing the variety of queer representation is just...well, soul restoring comes to mind.

Mamie Johnson tried out for the AAGPBL and was run off, very much like Max in the pilot. She went onto to play professionally in the Negro Leagues, alongside Toni Stone and Connie Morgan. beyondtheboxscore.com/2021/2/19/2228…
