    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 a serious spy show that it doesn't have the budget to be. Still worth a watch

    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.

    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.

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