Based On A True Story is the new Peacock drama that landed on Sky Atlantic this week, with viewers eagerly devouring its eight gripping episodes. The series is pretty swish, with a line-up that includes Tom Bateman as serial killer Matt, The Flight Attendent star Kaley Cuoco in usual brilliant form as bored LA graphic designer and soon-to-be mum Ava and Chris Messina as Nathan as her tennis coach husband. They're an unlikely trio, brought together under very unusual circumstances.
It's been dubbed the Vogue of killer content according to The New York Times, thanks to its thought-provoking material and deliciously dark humour (if not a tad gory at times). Essentially the show poses a question to those who eagerly lap up serial killer content, hungry for all the details (guilty): What if serial killers weren’t only the subjects but also the hosts, or even the producers, of a true-crime podcast?
