This is the worst possible timing to reboot this show with a Muslim terrorist plotline. Trump, with his xenophobia, demagoguery, lies, and Muslim bans, has poured fuel on the fire of fear and hatred of Muslims, and this show just fans the flames. It posits that every Muslim should be feared as a potential terrorist, because there are sleeper cells all across the country waiting for the call to launch attacks on America. What was Fox thinking, launching this in the era of Trump, and after the Superbowl? It's a horribly irresponsible decision, and it could inspire more right-wing terrorist attacks on innocent Muslims like we saw in Quebec recently.

Based on the premiere, this show looks really cute and clever. The cast is great and I LOL'd a few times. Vanessa Hudgens is adorable and Danny Pudi is in great form. I'll be back!

This show grabbed me from the start because of its unique premise and its realism. It's plausible that a very talented woman could work her way into the MLB, so it's interesting to see how that might play out. The writing is good and touches on most of the issues that would likely arise. The acting is solid, especially Kylie Bunbury as Ginny Baker. The final twist was a little cheesy. But overall a compelling first episode that makes me want to follow the main character's nascent career and see her do well.
