Fun enough. It's a watchable recreation of the series. It does successfully avoid being trapped under the shadow of the film. In the final episodes however I find myself thinking of all the secret pseudo government agencies on TV. Omega here is ripe for crossover with Phoenix from MacGyver.

I've wondered for years what the treatment for True Lies sequel would be where would the story go. This show kinda devolves into a casual spy sitcom with all that entails. I like Steve Howey well enough. He does a variation on the dope character he played in Reba but here he's dopey and martially skilled. I'd watch more of this like I would watch more of new MacGyver. Ginger as Helen is kinda fun. She's not Jamie Lee Curtis' Helen but she definitely playing the same surprised wife character.

Unfortunately it's so far kinda lacking in the gravitas of the original. In part because you can't just tell a story about a husband and wife anymore. Any given story has to be about a group of people so this show like many others is weakened by the need to spread narrative drama around to the rest of the cast. Maria and Luther used to date and now they don't. Ordinarily I might care about that Erica Hernandez is super attractive but here it feels like the filler it is. Especially because nothing really comes of it.

Based loosely on the Arnie movie from way back when, comes True Lies, the series.

This is mildly diverting, low IQ, exposition based, action fare. It tries and fails to have a sense of humour but does manage passable chemistry, between the key characters. Actions OK but its of the by the numbers variety, you will have seen, a thousand times before. Nothing creative or experimental, on offer, here.

In summary, a viewing choice when "the entertainment cupboards are bare" or "I want something simple but diverting". In either instance True Lies, fits the bill.
