Nothing is off the table when it comes to the topics of conversation between these two couples who are also best friends and neighbors. The four pals can't help but analyze and obsess over every subject under the sun, using one another as sounding boards for their thoughts. From hot-button topics like sex and race to speculation over whether the trusted new baby sitter has engaged in pornographic extracurricular activities, nothing is too taboo for this diverse and incredibly outspoken foursome.
Truth Be Told — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Truth Be Told wants to be topically edgy, but only sends viewers on a bland descent into a world of unfunny and grating sitcom characters.

Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 10/19/2015
Let's go for the obvious here because that's exactly what Truth Be Told would do: Truth be told, this show is terrible. Go to Full Review Margaret Lyons New York Magazine/Vulture 10/16/2015
This show is not provocative. It is not a conversation-starter, it is not thoughtful, it is not sharp, it is not enlightening. Truth was initially titled People Are Talking, which seems like a more accurate description of what's happening on the show. Go to Full Review Diane Gordon TheWrap 10/16/2015
The show's intentions are good and it's rooted in sweetness but without smarter jokes and more insightful observations, it will have trouble finding and keeping an audience. Go to Full Review Esme Mazzeo Tell-Tale TV 12/24/2019
3.1/5
Predictable but watchable. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider 12/10/2019
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. Go to Full Review Pilot Viruet Flavorwire 06/08/2016
What is the point of NBC's Truth Be Told? No, really, I'm wondering. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 21 10 unfunny episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 12/14/2019 Love this series so far! See more 04/16/2016 This isn't the best show, but it made me laugh, a lot. And I will always remember the second episode, because after seeing the pilot and not loving it but seeing potential, I was so satisfied that the second episode was so great! I usually am let down when I see pilots of shows and see potential. I also have to point out that Mark-Paul Gosselaar gave a great performance! Tone Bell gave a pretty good performance, but had such great chemistry with Gosselaar that you don't care about how he is without him. This show reminds me of Dads in that it ends most episodes with a gut busting laugh! Even if the episode isn't that great, ending with a giant laugh saves it more often than not. It didn't have a "finale" per say, but the final episode was very good, and really ended the series without actually ending it with a clean cut, which makes it easy enough for them to continue if they don't get cancelled (because they haven't been officially cancelled, but it's pretty obvious it will be.) Reminded me of Rules of Engagement's finale. See more 10/30/2015 Loved this cast and the writing was edgy pushing both sides of race, politics and sexes. Probably too smart of writing to capture a big audience. See more 10/27/2015 Truth be told, NBC needs to cancel this show ASAP. See more Read all reviews
