Review of True Lies

True Lies (2023)
6/10
Silly, But Fun
6 March 2023
I agree with some of the other reviewers that this show could use a smidge more seriousness-- but not too much. I enjoyed the show for what it is, though. It's a silly spy show. If you think of it as anything more than that, you're missing the point.

This is escapism. Turn off your brain and just enjoy it.

The acting is so-so. But again... silly. So, they say silly things to forward the spy-couple goofiness.

The situations are barely believable. But again... silly. The point (at least in the pilot) is to put them in ridiculous situations.

The bad guys aren't particularly scary. They're about as good a shot as a storm trooper. But again... silly. They aren't supposed to be good at what they do.

We'll see how this goes. Scorpion-- which had a similar vibe-- lasted a few seasons.
