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.
