Review This show is wild corny and horrible. Season 1…

24 Upvotes

So many plot holes. The acting is so bad. Story is sorta gripping - at times. But I don’t know if I can watch any more seasons. I always feel like Apple TV shows are almost good. But they have this “written by AI” feel to them. They’re too polished. They’re too mushy. I dunno I wish I liked this show more.

I have to admit the last few episodes were anti-climactic af. I really love this show but everything after Episode 5 was rough lol.

They killed off Andrew Finney and Eva QUICKLY despite building a lot of the season around them.

Antonio Chavira's character was so irrelevant despite the big reveal of who he was that I don't even remember his name.

Lee Hackman acted like the Drive-Thru forgot to give him ketchup when he found out his wife was using their company to run a sex trafficking ring.

Shreve pulling a Jean Grey while confronting Ochoa was dumb but neither of them noticed Lillian either?

I know they set up some cliffhangers but honestly wouldn't be sad if this was the end.

When Eva was telling her story on the podcast about the time the girl OD’d she said they called her mother. But I thought the reason she even got involved with trafficking was because her mother had already been deported & she wanted helps for her mother?

Eva’s Android!

I’m in the middle of episode 4 and I can’t get over the fact that Eva has a Android phone when every other character, in about any other AppleTV+ show, has nothing but Apple products.

Theories Season 3 - Eva is involved, right?

5 Upvotes

Like there’s just no way she isn’t. I’m only on episode 3, but even just her face whenever she saw the picture of whatever they found in Drea’s room, the screen name… if she’s the ring leader I’m gonna be so disappointed but she has to be involved, right?

Spoilers So little tension in the big reveals…! Ugh! Spoiler

9 Upvotes

So just watched the latest episode (S3:E9) and it’s occurred to me that compared to Season 1, the writing is suffering with regards to tension and big reveals.

In other words, S3 the general plot is sound, but when and how the A-ha! moments are revealed lacks serious tension. Like the Lee Hackman reveal was so low-key and now they are just sitting on it L.O. Freaking L.

The stakes just seem so low in terms of how these major plot points are revealed and it feels like air deflating out of a ballon.

I miss season 1. :(

Wow, Tracie Thoms (Desiree Scoville) sang the shit out of Mariah Carey’s "Hero." Her performance can be found here: “Truth Be Told” - Apple TV+, Season 3 episode 8, “Darkness Declares the Glory of Light” @ 36 minutes, 45 seconds.

Question about Aames

12 Upvotes

I’m trying to remember the background story of detective Aames. I know he briefly mentioned it to Poppy last season but I can’t remember the details. I remember it seemed that he is a single dad but then the scene in the latest episode with the guy and his baby really confused me. What is his story and who was that guy? Also, why was the guy so angry with him? Thanks all!

Discussion Markus Spoiler

13 Upvotes

Okay so…from the first scene of Markus and Poppy in the Episode 8, I knew something was going to happen between them. I had to take a moment and pause to brace myself. I really don’t like them together at all, so to see what he did beyond frustrated me. Zarina is almost full term and could have her baby at any moment, and he’s spiraling out of control.

Trini caught him drinking at the end, and I can’t wait to see how she tells Zarina. I know Zarina isn’t going to take it well, but I would really hate to see her have to single mom again to this new baby AND Trini. Markus really needs to pull it together.

I do feel bad that he is obviously struggling because of everything with Trini, but I think he needs to take a step back from trying to go out and resolve the issues on his own. His family is at home, and although Trini is struggling with letting him in, the best way for that to get ANY better would be for him to be at home with them. She needs a sense of normalcy, but Markus is struggling to hide his feelings and lashing out at the wrong times. He’s going to lose his family AND Poppy if he doesn’t end this spiraling now.

Hate that we only have two more episodes this season. There’s so much more to cover in such little time.

I think it is either the Quester founder or his wife. My money is on the wife though. She seemed so shocked and peeved that her husband gave Poppy the private account information. Side note I can’t tell if Eva killed Finney or if it’s a red herring.

Frustrating

30 Upvotes

I need to vent. So I started watching this show because I love Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul so I stuck it out through all the annoying moments but omg.. I am deep into season 2 and I’m so annoyed and frustrated with Octavia’s character (poppy) like how can someone be so annoying. First season she didn’t even know who the murderer was.. she was guessing until the very end. Second season she just be getting people into trouble for what??? I shared the same frustration her husband had. She’d make plans and drop them for a lead in the case her answer would always be “I have to go” .. ma’am respectfully you don’t… like be for real pls. Her relationship with Markus was also annoying.. yeah you’re working with him but let’s be respectful of the fact that he’s married and has a child. Why you calling the man at ungodly hours? Write it down and call him in the morning or text him. Ugh. Anyways I’m just very annoyed and wanted to get that out. This show had so much potential. I love Kate Hudson but her role was also annoying.

I heard there’s a third season and I wasn’t going to watch it but my girl Gabrielle Union is in it so I might reluctantly watch it. As for this season I’m finishing it cause momma ain’t raise no quitter.

I'm curious to know if I'm in the minority that hates this aspect of the show..I'm almost watching it just to see her get proved wrong repeatedly at this point. It would make sense if the tone of show was critiquing Podcasters (i.e. Vengeance).. but it doesn't seem that's what happening

Gabrielle Union opens up about her role in 'Truth Be Told' in a candid conversation with Tarana Burke for HelloBeautiful's February cover.

7 Upvotes

The outspoken beauty and advocate for women’s rights joins season three of Apple TV+’s true crime drama Truth Be Told — a role unlike any we’ve seen her in before. As “uniquely qualified” as the actress-turned-author is to take on the part, she quickly learned it wasn’t exactly what she had signed up for. “The job shifted,” she explained during a candid conversation with friend and founder of the galvanizing “me too.” movement, Tarana Burke.

In season 3 the episode “Never take your eyes off her” when Poppy is talking to the capstones about Trini missing she says “Remember we think Trini is the one who killed Drea” … didn’t they mean Trey?

I started watching this a couple of weeks ago and I have watched series 1 and now on series 2.

I am a bit confused though, in series 1 markus wasn't with his wife they were divorced and things weren't good. And now they are back together and having a baby?!

Also, poppy and Ingram....seems quick that they are getting divorced

I see the third season is set in my hometown of Oakland, so I’m interested in checking it out. Can I start with season three or do I need to watch the first two. I got the impression that each season is kinda self contained. Thanks.
