Apple TV’s 3-Part Crime Drama With a Stacked Cast Deserves a Second Chance

With the success of Severance, Slow Horses, Silo, and Shrinking, Apple TV is quickly defining itself as a premier platform for drama. That said, one early original series from the company remains overlooked yet equally worthy of notice. By the time Truth Be Told debuted in 2019, true crime was very much on everyone’s radar. Every network was hunting for the next-ever viral murder mystery, which resulted in an abundance of detectives, suspects, and unexpected plot twists available at one’s disposal. At first glance, Nichelle Tramble Spellman’s series looked like another entry in that crowded field. It had an Oscar-winning lead, a high-profile supporting cast, and a cold case begging to be reopened.
