    "Secrets & Lies" season 1 is a 10 episode mini series appearing on ABC. It is based on an Australian series that I have not seen but is currently available on Netflix.

It is based on an Australian series that I have not seen but is currently available on Netflix. I guessed the killer in the first episode so it's not much of a mystery. It is still entertaining to watch Ben, the accused main character played by Ryan Phillippe, run (literally) around the neighborhood and accuse a different person each week. He is relentlessly pursued by Detective Crawford (Juliette Lewis). I initially made fun of Juliette's performance and wondered why her face looked all weird. After seeing the entire season though I enjoyed Crawford the most. I also liked Ben but his constantly making the worse decisions possible made him hard to sympathize with. Some times I just wanted to shake him. There apparently will be a season 2 with Juliette reprising the character of Crawford but everything else (the story and the other characters) will be new. Cant say that I will be watching next year. It just depends on the story.… Expand

    It’s poorly written with a bunch of things happening in the pilot that just don’t make sense.

    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.

    Ryan Phillippe does the blank thing well. Juliette Lewis, once American cinema's liveliest eccentric, is drained of life.... This show runs ten weeks. I'm out.
