I'd love it if instead of saying "The following story is based on true events", they were obligated to say "The following story is based on true events, and has been modified for your entertainment".
- jszymborski 3y agoA lot of series now cheekily start with a screen that states something along the lines of: "This story is based on true events, except the parts that aren't". Can't think of any examples at the moment, but I've noticed it quite a bit. Then there's the TV Series Fargo, which is made out of whole-cloth but starts with a claim that it's a "true story", which I think is great.
