Critic Reviews

Uncle Barky Ed Bark

Oct 14, 2015

Season 1 Review: The principal cast members are appealing enough, providing perhaps some hope that the material will mature and measure up to them in future episodes. For now, though, it’s mostly hammer-over-the-head time. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Oct 14, 2015

Season 1 Review: The cast works pretty hard to sell the material, but it’s awfully thin, and tackles the topical aspects less aggressively than NBC’s summer sitcom “The Carmichael Show,” which earned a renewal. The main problem is that nothing here feels remotely organic. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Oct 18, 2015

Season 1 Review: Truth Be Told is more of a "look at me, I'm not PC!" shout of self-regard. Read full review

David Wiegand

Sep 23, 2015

Season 1 Review: The concept of the show actually isn’t bad, but the execution is wanting, and then some. Every conversation feels awkward and forced, and of course the supposed jokes just aren’t funny. Read full review

Hank Stuever

Oct 14, 2015

Season 1 Review: Setting aside the producers’ aspirationally post-racial pitch, Truth Be Told looks and moves very much like another ho-hum sitcom; there are a few laughs here and there, performed by a likable assemblage of actors--but the same could be said about almost any sitcom in any season. Even if you factor in some skin tone and conversational pitfalls, nothing here seems all that groundbreaking. Read full review

Mitchel Broussard

Season 1 Review: Truth Be Told is the worst premiere of the fall, of many falls. Read full review

Margaret Lyons

Oct 16, 2015

Season 1 Review: Not a single scene feels authentic, even if we excuse the overexplanations we often see in comedy pilots. This show is not provocative. It is not a conversation-starter, it is not thoughtful, it is not sharp, it is not enlightening. Read full review
