Worth our attention, even just because of the talent in the cast.

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.

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.

Interesting, Spencer is solid, as ever, but I've seen better mysteries and more compelling characters.

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.
December 05, 2019
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.

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.

Strickland frequently tests viewers' patience, but his off-putting sensibility is powerful enough to make In Fabric as mesmerizing as its subject: salesmanship as a sinister, inescapable form of hypnosis.

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.

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.

It never quite meets the expectations set for itself.

Truth be told, the podcast within the show might've been the better medium for this campy tale of thwarted redemption.
