Joel Keller Decider 08/27/2024
Desperate Lies isn’t just grim and filled with side stories that seem to distract from the main one, but its viewpoint is extremely retrograde, whether that was the intention or not. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com 07/07/2024
1.5/5
An attempt was made to make this an arresting watch. Alas, the series lost the plot within the first few episodes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Troy A @RT80336407 Jun 29 Ok, I was actually really captivated by this show. I love the leading actress and actually all the women in this series. I am a man and have to say I’m embarrassed by that with the leading men in this series. Is this a Brazilian culture thing? Actually the blind guy Bento and the sister in laws fiancé Joao are very cool so that’s unfair. What in the hell did Liana see in Vladimir from the beginning because he’s a total creep. He has no redeeming qualities at all. Why would he not love both children? I can’t conceive of that and he can’t conceive of loving Marco. Why would Liana stay? I’m a man and if someone refused to love my child, see ya later! Very kind of Latin drama that I love. I think it’s good. Not Oscar good but I’m sick of politics and want some drama good. Beautiful leading actress See more Peter T @rainy_daze Jun 15 Painful dialog, endless pointless side tangents and cringe-worthy acting made me crave the end of this contrived, excessively long slog. What a waste of time. See more Jane M @RT15079352 08/11/2024 Acting is over the top and laughable, plot is preposterous, and the only thing ‘desperate’ in this series, is how each new episode struggles to give credence to a horrible story! I’m embarrassed that I endured 4 of them, before hitting the ‘off’ button. See more Asia H @RT86667018 08/07/2024 A disgusting show, it’s all over the place within the first 3 episodes. For the lady to give her child away then take it back, I would never want to see anything this disgusting ever again please take this off of Netflix. See more V C @RT26165869 07/28/2024 If you stay with it you will become captivated by the characters and the situations they are in. Delivers a good message about lies and family. See more Emmanuel A @RT05457146 07/27/2024 The series starts well but ends up becoming boring and super long, at the beginning the bad guy is Oscar and then the bad guy is Tomas but there was no character development for Tomas to become the bad guy, from one second to the next he became super religious and bad person See more Read all reviews
