Truth Be Told ~ (An Apple TV original series)

Wednesday, January 25, 2023 9:14 PM Cold and rainy evening Truth Be Told is this series on Apple TV that aired on December of 2019. I didn't come across it until November 2022. I absolutely love this show. I admire the great, Octavia Spencer! She is totally fabulous in this, as she is in all her projects. I loved her in Spirited as well, but that's another topic for later. Octavia plays the roll of a true crime podcaster named Poppy Parnell. She co-stars with Hanefah Wood and and Tracie Thomas as her sisters. Michael Beach plays her husand, Ingram Parnell. Ron Cephas Jones plays Leander Scoville, the cool biker dad that owns a bar. Tami Roman plays the fabulous younger wife of Leander Scoville. Of course she doesn't disappoint, she's just as sassy and straight up as always. Mekhi Phifer plays Marcus Knox, the smart ex-boyfriend of Poppy's and ex-cop who she can always call on for help. The lovely Merle Dandridge plays Zarina Killebrew, Marcus Knox's ex-wife who has a teenage daughter with him. Season 1, Poppy was doing her podcast about a true crime from a few years back that she podcasted about. Some new evidence came about that shows possibility that the imprisoned suspect was not the killer at all. Poppy is determined to get to the truth by any means necessary. Season 2 was great as well! Kate Hudson stars as Micah Keith, childhood friend of Poppy's. Micah was a slick one, she stole a young, black girl's book and made it her own. She got rich off it and perpatrated a fraud. Micah's husband gets murdered by someone she knows. Micah continues to lie to Poppy after someone attacks her at Micah's house. It was a mess! Check it out for yourself! I am about to partake in Season 3, starring Gabrielle Union-Wade as Eva. Poppy is now divorced and she takes on the Scoville name. This episode is about missing young black girls in Oakland, California and how the Police aren't doing a thing to find them. Grabbing my Ginger Ale, popcorn and remote now. I hope you check out the show! Truth Be Told.. it's a good show! Now head over to Apple TV and watch it! Octavia, keep up the excellent Black Girl Magic that you do! Love it! Tamika Davis
