2/4
Hudson cannot quite summon the feral, streetwise quality her role requires. But she and Spencer share a chemistry suggestive of long friendship. Go to Full Review Jeanmarie Tan The New Paper (Singapore) 09/02/2021

Unfortunately, Truth Be Told 2 does not grip at the get-go. Go to Full Review Paul Dailly TV Fanatic 08/27/2021
3/5
It was hard not to be worried about the series because the only character that got some marked progression in the initial half of the premiere was Poppy, who Octavia Spencer continues to play to perfection. Go to Full Review Sam Stone CBR 08/27/2021
Truth Be Told is definitely taking significant steps in the right direction, but it's still not quite living up to the full potential of its premise and impressive ensemble cast. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kevin B @Kevininmia Mar 1 Loved Kate’s acting in this - and of course Octavia’s. See more Henery X 06/04/2024 Assumption is never good, and we discover this in Truth Be Told. We must never lose sight of the fact that true storytelling is about much more than entertainment. Storytelling is a way to make people think. Look at the choices these characters make, the results of their choices, and then think before you conclude on your own choices. When we look at storytelling beyond entertainment, we'll see the bigger picture. See more Bodhi R 02/07/2023 Not as good as Season 1. Sometimes feels like it's spoofing itself—not a good look. The new characters are unlikeable. At least the show tried something completely different and it still tries to keep current with pop culture. It's on the right track; I just can't see Hudson as a street kid. Builds on the characters and they develop, so not terrible. See more David P 01/23/2023 Season 1 was okay. It had its moments. Though more often than not the show really drags while coming off as contrived. Season 2 was a missed opportunity to correct overall storytelling and pacing. I really tried to like this show. It's a shame because the cast is an extremely good one. They're just not given material worthy of their talent. See more H C 01/09/2023 Not sure why the reviews for this are so poor...the acting and cinematography are both fantastic and the story has plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked! See more Rusty J @Rusted 01/04/2023 Season 1 barely earned a peak at Season 2..Unfortunately season 2 was worse. Story line confusing , writing is poor, plot confusing. And bang there it is a contrived conclusion that makes a mediocre season end really bad. No more of this series for me. See more Read all reviews
