A reboot of the 1994 eponymous movie directed by James Cameroon, CBS’ ‘True Lies’ is an action comedy series created by Matt Nix that follows a suburban housewife named Helen who works as a language professor and is tired of her monotonous life. However, her life turns upside down when she discovers that her boring computer consultant husband, Harry, is a highly important international spy who works for the U.S. intelligence agency Omega Sector. Soon, Omega recruits Helen, and she joins her husband on his team of competent operatives.
This allows the married couple not just to save the world but also their almost fizzled-out and boring marriage. The CBS show features impressive performances from a talented cast comprising Steve Howey, Ginger Gonzaga, Erica Hernandez, Omar Miller, and Mike O’Gorman. While the action-packed narrative keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats through each episode, the use of some exciting locations makes one wonder where ‘True Lies’ is actually shot.
