Octavia Spencer (octaviaspencer), aaronpaul_8 and Lizzy Caplan star in TruthBeTold, an Apple TV+ mystery crime drama about a journalist who creates a podcast to exonerate an innocent convict. Read the review:
These stories always start with a jaded veteran cop who comes out of retirement for one final case: the case that made his career.to start a podcast: a retelling of the case that made her career.
The racial undercurrents of the show are one of its core strengths — how frequently do you get to see a successful, plus-size black woman on TV absolutelyher writing career and intimidating the hell out of her naysayers? But so many people close to Poppy question why she would help a guy in the Aryan Brotherhood that you, too, start second-guessing her endeavor. As Poppy might tell you, something something justice, something something the truth will set you free.
We're also treated to some delightfully creepy adult twin interactions here, thanks to Lizzy Caplan's compelling dual performance as Buhrman's daughters Lanie and Josie. It's just too bad these nuanced relationships are stuck inside a mediocre murder mystery bound to a meaningless title. I was most interested in Poppy's relationships with her biker family, including her skeptical sisters, played by Tracie Thoms and Haneefah Wood, and her prickly father, played by' Ron Cephas Jones. I appreciate the authenticity of Poppy and the Scovilles' complicated connection, despite her stereotypically glamorous TV job.
