Truth Be Told • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
[Relys] too often on implausible revelations and intrusive podcast recordings that halt momentum.
Fortune
Isaac Feldberg
Feels in line with Apple's other recently launched series in that it's a decent idea with no clue how to execute itself.
The Spool
Theo Estes
It does seem odd that a show based around the idea of a crime podcast features it so infrequently in the first few episodes.
Pajiba
Dustin Rowles
Truth Be Told is never boring, but it's never very good, either.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
Truth (gulp) be told, you know you're in trouble when the least fascinating character is the one driving the action. You're better off listening to a real true-crime podcast like Serial.
Paste Magazine
Allison Keene
It's interesting, but it drags; it's enjoyable while you watch, but you don't rush to return to it. It's just fine -- but it's not essential TV that you need to pay for a streaming platform to enjoy.
Observer
Pilot Viruet
With a stacked cast and a premise that gives way to a wealth of ideas, Truth Be Told could have been a solid story about many things. However, Truth Be Told doesn't work and instead it's the rare crime mystery where I don't care about getting to the end.
Den of Geek
Nick Harley
While true crime fiends will likely lap Truth Be Told up, the series struggles with tone, unable to decide whether it wants to be a thought-provoking thriller or campy, trashy fun.
The Hollywood Reporter
Robyn Bahr
I would watch a version of this show as a biting family drama, but its gaze into the court of public opinion leaves it toothless.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Interesting, Spencer is solid, as ever, but I've seen better mysteries and more compelling characters.
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
The show seems to understand journalism about as well as Poppy does, treating her cause as righteous and fair-minded and its consequences as unfortunate necessities that come from finally speaking the truth.
Oregonian
Kristi Turnquist
It's not exactly solving a mystery to think that "Truth Be Told" would have worked better by focusing on Poppy's family, and losing the trendy, true-crime plot.
IndieWire
Tambay Obenson
It never quite meets the expectations set for itself.
AV Club
Joi Childs
Truth be told, the podcast within the show might've been the better medium for this campy tale of thwarted redemption.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
The dilemma is cumbersome enough to come across as a contrived-for-TV thought experiment more than a smart inquiry into real ideas about race and ethics.
Vanity Fair
Sonia Saraiya
It can be a bit much, but the show earns it: The twists come thick and fast, every single character gets his or her own tortured backstory.
Tell-Tale TV
Esme Mazzeo
Great acting doesn't make a premise compelling.
CBR
Josh Bell
A disjointed show that's theoretically focused on a central mystery but more often is just a cluttered collection of uninteresting subplots.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
All of these actors are terrific and have been very good in other great TV shows and films. But you can sense that they're also straining to elevate the material and can't quite lift it above their heads.
Slant Magazine
Michael Haigis
The series attempts to derive excitement solely from its overly calibrated performances.
