Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
Lewis and Philippe have enough chemistry that his underplaying and her overplaying are a match made in whodunnit heaven. Secrets and Lies likely won't be earning any Emmy nominations, but it promises to be a juicy foray into melodramatic escapism, and sometimes, that's just what the TV-viewing evening calls for.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a crisply paced suburban potboiler with a murdered child at the center, and if you’ve been sucked in by other shows in this genre you may find yourself sucked in by this one. But also feel free to be vaguely annoyed that those clever TV makers are seducing you with formulas rather than freshness.

Season 1 Review:
Will you care about this group of upscale suburban neighbors? Probably not. Will you be pulled into their web of interconnected secrets and lies? Possibly. Will you be treated to various shots of brooding Ryan Phillippe jogging, sweating and showing off his aforementioned abs? Definitely. Is that enough to keep you watching? Maybe.

Season 1 Review:
The two-hour pilot lacks the growly tension of that dark, nnotty Netflix thriller [The Fall]. [27 Feb 2015, p.66]

Season 2 Review:
The new season won’t hold much interest for those weary of ABC’s formulaic dramas that are more interested in plot twists and intrigue than character development. For others, the passable whodunnit may be compelling enough (outside of Cornell’s obsession with her Occams razor-based theories), especially thanks to Ealy’s charisma.

Season 1 Review:
Secrets and Lies suffers from an American tendency to speed up and overplay, to force emotion rather than evoke it. Just as suspicion takes a little time to grow and spread, so does sophistication. But this series seems to be in a very big hurry to be over, which almost guarantees that audiences will be too.
