Though true-crime enthusiasts may be satirized more sharply in other shows like Only Murders in the Building, Based on a True Story season 1 was well worth a watch for its engaging leads and touch of light humor.

With Ava diving back into the world of true crime that she tried to leave behind, Based on a True Story season 2 promises more of the same that made season 1 such a binge-worthy experience.
