Mr. Howey is rather colorless, but his lack of palette serves his co-star well: Ms. Gonzaga ("She-Hulk: Attorney at Law") is the spark that lights up "True Lies," which is a pretty funny show when not trying to dazzle us with car chases, gunfights and displays of computer graphics that are probably gibberish.
“True Lies” has the potential to fulfill that fundamental mission, but it still has a way to go before justifying its existence.

In other words, it’s fine — but there’s nothing new. If that’s the kind of show you’re looking for, then you’ll want to tune in. ... But if you’re expecting a deeper story, ongoing tension or layered characters, you may want to keep flipping.
True Lies just falls flat in carving out its own identity. ... If the latest network iteration proves anything with its string of campiness and light laughs, it's that some stories should stay on the big screen.
While we’re hoping that the TV version of True Lies gets better as it concentrates on the chemistry between Howey and Gonzaga, the rest of the show feels like an artifact from another age of network dramas, and not in a fun, Poker Face kind of way.
[True Lies] takes the 1994 action comedy, strips it for parts, and tries to sell you on a hollow, meaningless shell.
There’s no fun, no thrills, and no sex. Hell, there are barely any lies! What we’re subjected to instead is a criminally wooden, algorithmic remake without a single original idea to prop itself up.
