A true-crime podcaster gets her life wrapped up in an unsolved murder in Truth Be Told. Poppy (Octavia Spencer) is asked to look into the murder of a father of two identical twins and incriminates a man who almost a decade later appears to be innocent as new information surfaces — suggesting that he might have been framed for the crime. Poppy now has to figure out what the real truth is and uncover the family’s secrets in the process.

Co-stars may outshine Spencer: Co-stars Lizzy Caplan and Aaron Paul deliver phenomenal performances. However, Spencer falls short of delivering her best work in the series, possibly due to the occasional odd writing. Moreover, her character is portrayed as rather unlikable. In Season 2 though, Kate Hudson joins the cast and helps propel the show forward but we’re not buying into their onscreen chemistry.

The show can be a bit slow at times, especially in later seasons, but it’s cool to see someone play around with the true-crime podcast trend. By starting each episode with Poppy’s podcast segment — which feels like you’re being told a story — viewers are easily hooked onto the episode and since there are three seasons, this show is bingable.

You can watch the series onApple TV.
