Helen, a language professor bored with her daily routine, makes the shocking discovery that her seemingly ordinary husband Harry is a first-class international spy for U.S. intelligence agency Omega Sector. With the secret out, Omega recruits Helen, who impresses everyone with her formidable skills, and she joins Harry and his team of top-notch operatives, embarking on covert missions around the globe and an exhilarating life of danger and adventure. The renewed bond between them adds much-needed sizzle to their emotionally distant marriage and upends the top-secret world of Omega Sector.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bland as gruel, True Lies might borrow the name of a cinematic blockbuster but retains none of the personality that would differentiate it from the crowded field of espionage romances.

Richard Ferguson The Australian 08/15/2023
This is no wholesome family show, but it’s all about family nonetheless. And it’s a ripper. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 03/23/2023
A mission of the week series that is nicely put together -- Gonzaga deserves her own show -- but has remarkably little emotional depth. Go to Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal 03/02/2023
One of the more refreshing revivifications of a familiar title in recent times. Go to Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent 04/20/2023

Your eyes would be well advised to look for something better too. True Lies is truly dire -- and that’s no lie. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 03/15/2023
3/5
Meanwhile, the lack of good writing makes for some corny dialogue which, combined with some obvious spy tropes and low-budget action sequences, just makes it seem like it's trying too hard. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 03/03/2023
... Feels like an artifact from another age of network dramas, and not in a fun, Poker Face kind of way. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Sep 22 13 successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated TV-PG for Moderate Violence (V)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Originally aired on Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and streaming on Paramount+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more petrs l @petrs 05/23/2025 How come they did not promote this show???? It's great! It's just what the doctor recommends: fun, fast, action-driven but sweet and romantic at times. The family is adorable, and the contrasts between the calm back in Cleveland (family) and the action worldwide (secret missions) are so much fun! It's so sad that, as always with this kind of cast and stories, they did not invest a cent in MKT! It could have been huge. It's crazy how Hollywood seems to make the worst P&L decisions. See more Karen K @RT00688923 08/07/2023 I like everyone in the show except Helen (Ginger Gonzaga), although it is not her fault. The writers made her into a manipulative nag who thinks she knows everything about everything and complains all the time. If I were Harry, I would run. See more Some Guy F @RT75171520 07/21/2023 I sit through just absolutely awful TV shows on a regular basis because I'm just trying to fill the time. I will tolerate a really low level of quality. I tapped out after one episode of this. The movie it was based on is mediocre to begin with, why are they remaking it? See more P C @Pauliiiiii 07/05/2023 Epically bad!!! Good lord, who writes this stuff See more Jan V @RT50475020 05/22/2023 Shouldn't work, but it kinda does. It's unrealistic but fun. Guilty pleasure I guess. See more Read all reviews
