It’s hard to watch characters as aggressively inconsistent and generally stupid as Ava and Nathan Bartlett for a whole season.

The two leads of Craig Rosenberg’s new Peacock thriller/comedy make dumb decision after dumb decision, and most of them, well, don’t ring true.

The show may be called “Based on a True Story,” but it’s a strikingly false venture, a toothless mocking of true-crime obsession with nothing to say about the success of shows like “My Favorite Murder” and “Crime Junkie” beyond their existence.

‘I.S.S.’ Review: Ariana DeBose Leads Astronaut Crew In Tension-Filled Sci-Fi Thriller – Tribeca Festival

In the expanding universe that is science fiction cinema, I.S.S. (International Space Station) directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite and penned by Nick Shafir makes a solid new entry into the genre. While the performances from its stars, Ariana DeBose, Chris Messina, John Gallagher Jr, Masha Mashkova, Costa Ronin and Pilou Asbæk, are rather stiff, at its heart, I.S.S. is an imaginative yet bare-bones thriller that makes an impact with its limited space and budget.

Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina Anchor Messy, if Charming, Crime Comedy ‘Based on a True Story’: TV Review

Alison Herman TV Critic The true crime industrial complex has grown so unwieldy over the years that the true crime critique is itself a phenomenon, if smaller in scale — the mothership’s opposite, though not quite its equal. On television, such takes run the tonal gamut from “The Investigation,” the somber Scandinavian drama about the real-life murder of journalist Kim Wall, to “Only Murders in the Building,” a silly spoof that takes loving aim at the likes of “Serial.” The new Peacock comedy “Based on a True Story” skews closer to the latter, down to its trio of aspiring podcasters in way over their heads. But even though it swaps Manhattan for sunny Los Angeles, “Based on a True Story” is much more bleak than “Only Murders.” (Creator Craig Rosenberg had a hand in the pitch-black humor of “The Boys.”) Some of that darkness adds to the show’s appeal; more often, much like its characters, “Based on a True Story” spins out of control.

When he was a kid, he and a friend actually may have actually discovered a crime scene. “I grew up in Northport, Long Island,” Messina told Variety at the Peacock series’ premiere Thursday at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. “I grew up on Makamah Road, about a block from the Long Island Sound. A buddy and I walked to the Sound and – it was very ‘Stand By Me’ – we found a hand that washed up on the beach.” They immediately called the cops. “We had to report it,” Messina recalled. “I was pretending to be River Phoenix in ‘Stand By Me.’”
