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.

Edginess is not the point, and if it's pure enjoyable escapism you're after, True Lies is hard to beat. [27 Feb - 12 Mar 2023, p.4]

“True Lies” has the potential to fulfill that fundamental mission, but it still has a way to go before justifying its existence. Read full review

This version of True Lies, created by Burn Notice's Matt Nix, barrels through what the film brilliantly set up in order to get to what the show will presumably be over however long it lasts, bringing up the question of why someone thought turning True Lies into a TV show was a good idea in the first place.

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

Great cast , very skilled actors , writing let's the show down. Comedy actors being used to portray serious situations let's their abilities go to waste . Potential to be a lighter hearted spy show that we need with characters we can relate to. Please don't let this be an attempt at aGreat cast , very skilled actors , writing let's the show down.
