	Author	Review
Canada	Sam Stone CBR	"[3rd Season Review]: Each season of 'Truth Be Told' has steadily improved upon the season that came before it, and this remains true for its third outing"	POS
United States	Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Truth Be Told' has flashes of brilliance, exploring racism and sexism in a challenging way. Yet it ruins any build-up with far-fetched plot twists and a need to revert to melodrama from time to time (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"A show that gets a lot very wrong, represents the field it depicts perfectly."	NEU
United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"It manages to be pedestrian and tedious and not as entertaining as it should be, despite all the talent involved and factors that should work in its favor"	NEG
United States	Sonia Saraiya Vanity Fair	"The genre is suspense, and 'Truth Be Told' hams it up with dramatic lighting, sudden scenes of violence, and that exposed-nerve feeling you get when everyone’s acting really hard."	POS
United States	Judy Berman Time	"[It] isn't a disaster—but it's everything that's wrong with Apple TV+ (...) It’s so bland and forgettable"	NEG
United States	Michael Haigis Slant	"The series lacks the tact or nuance to investigate the idea of inherent evil (...) The show flattens its performers’ unique personalities, utilizing them simply in service of engendering suspicion (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"It’s fun watching Paul and Spencer square off, and pretty much all the rest of the performances elevate what’s a pretty unremarkable story."	NEU
United States	Joi Childs AV Club	"The series delivers appealing twists with every episode (...) One has to wonder if the campiness of 'Truth Be Told' doesn’t cheapen what gravitas the series does have"	NEU
