Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 1 Review:
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]

Season 1 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.

Season 1 Review:
This "True Lies" doesn’t have much energy when it becomes a show that’s not really about, well, lies told in marriage. Much worse than going for something that’s more “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” from the jump is how bafflingly dull the actual spy missions are in each episode.

Season 1 Review:
It’s no one’s fault in particular and rather everyone’s all at once with uninspired placeholder dialogue (“You know what your dad says: computers don’t sell themselves”) performed by two lacklustre leads who lack chemistry and comedic timing, underselling material that really needed the oversell.
