The protagonist of the tale is a computer sales consultant who is also an expert snoop. When his wife finds out about his hidden job, she is initially shocked but finally decides to go along with him on his adventures to save the world.
The plot of "True Lies," a television series based on James Cameron's popular 1994 motion picture starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, is identical to that of the original. While Cameron's film expertly hits all the right notes, the series is unimpressive from the start. The first episode gets off to a gloomy start and never really picks off. It's a drab and unimaginative repetition of well-known cliches that has nothing novel or interesting to say. From a distance, predictable outcomes reveal that there is nothing exciting about the series.
Harry and Helen are shown in the beginning of the series living a typical middle-class existence. Helen looks after the family's home, teaches languages at a school, and takes care of their children while Harry, a computer salesman, sells computers to insurance firms. Helen has no idea that Harry is actually a spy, frequently travelling to remote locations to take part in clandestine missions to "save the world." Harry tells his wife that he will be attending a sales meeting in Cleveland while on a trip in the Caribbean. But as soon as he gets home from his expedition, he has another operation in Paris booked for the next two days. Helen, who had wanted to spend some quality time with her husband, is shocked by this information. Harry announces to Helen that they will be taking a holiday to Paris because there is no other option. Once they get to Paris, though, things take a surprising turn.
It is mind-boggling to consider that this series was ever approved. Sadly, Steve and Ginger fall short of the charm and charisma that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis had in the original movie. A large portion of this can be ascribed to the poor screenplay. The scenes that take place at Harry, Helen, and their home are boring and dull. Even though a lot of films have been turned into TV shows recently (such "American Gigolo" and "Let the Right One In"), none of them have been successful in doing so. "True Lies" disappoints in a frustrating way.Maybe there would have been more tension and a more interesting plot if the writers had kept Harry's secret from his wife for a few more episodes.
With both the husband and wife travelling to various regions to save the planet, it is clear that the series will follow a formula in later episodes. Ginger Gonzaga stands out as Helen among the few performers who were presented in the first episode, giving a great performance. She is the episode's standout actor because she successfully balances comedy and action.
You watch a show like "True Lies" when you're worn out from a hard day of work and don't want to put further mental effort on yourself. It doesn't delve farther into the tension, narrative, or people. You'll probably forget about this series as soon as you've finished viewing it.
