True Story

So, what makes this Netflix title stand out? Excellent cast, good script, and some plot surprises. There are moments of dark comedy, along with a moderate number of violent scenes, so beware, if you are sensitive.

So good to see Snipes on screen, and Kevin Hart really shines in this role... would love to see him in more dramatic projects. Aside from these two veterans, Theo Rossi was riveting in his role as "Gene".

Also like the format of this limited series: the first episode clocks in at about an hour, and rest are about 30 - 35 min. I just wish more series were like this.

What a happy surprise this series is. Great to see Wesley Snipes back in action and wow -Kevin Hart. Excellent performance. Everyone all around was fantastic. Good to see Billy Zane as well. Bravo! PS I'm on episode five and Gene better not get hurt!

Yes, indeed, Kevin Hart is good here. He doesn't play it too serious like some comic actors or comedians turned actors who then throw away ALL their humor or sense of irony for a dramatic role...

Snipes is also good, no surprise there, but what's also no surprise is the twist of twists that anyone can see coming from the first episode, but...

No matter... this is a time-filler, slowburn-style thriller, not an action-packed crime series, and pretty hypnotic, for the most part...

Like any binge series... despite it KNOWING it's a binge series and playing all the games therein... TRUE STORY knows how to keep the viewer hooked. (NOTE: This is the second time Billy Zane jump-started one of these kinda things... Amazon's MAD DOGS was first, and his character fills the exact same purpose.)

Not the biggest fan of Kevin Hart's acting, but I was actually impressed with this. Great storyline, and of course the OG- Wesley Snipes delivered! Glad I watched!

I know it's early days, but only 6.6?! C'mon, the series deserves well better than that. Really enjoyed it. Kevin Hart was brilliant with the rest of the cast also strong. Definitely worth a watch!
