Netflix’s All the Truth in My Lies arrives as a single five-episode season, all of it released on August 28, 2026. The premise is a road trip: two roommates tag along on a bachelorette weekend, and the feelings they have not said out loud start to reshape the whole friend group around them. It is billed as drama and comedy at once, and the show means both — the jokes land, and so do the consequences.
Marín and Coco Share a House and a Silence
The setup is clean. Marín, played by Daniel Ibáñez, and Coco, played by Itziar Manero, share a home and, apparently, a great deal they have not admitted. When the bachelorette trip pulls them and their friends onto the road, that silence stops holding. The season is built on the pressure of a shared vehicle, a shared room and a shared history that nobody wants to name first.
Around them sits a full ensemble. Brays Efe plays Loren, Lucía de la Fuente plays Aroa, Clara Sans plays Blanca and Ricardo Gómez plays Gus. Five episodes is not much room for six characters, and the show feels it. Some of these people get a real arc. Others get a function.
Five Episodes Is the Whole Problem
The season’s length is its sharpest constraint. Five episodes means the show cannot sprawl, and to its credit it does not try. The trip structure gives every episode a clear physical destination, and the show uses that motion well. Arguments happen in transit. Apologies happen at night. The bachelorette framing keeps the group together when the writing would otherwise have to invent reasons.
But the compression costs the supporting cast. Loren, Aroa, Blanca and Gus orbit Marín and Coco rather than standing beside them. Efe and Gómez in particular read as performers doing precise work with thin material. The show knows its center, and the center holds.
The Bachelorette Rituals Do the Comic Work
All the Truth in My Lies is funniest when it is not trying to be. The bachelorette rituals — the group obligations, the forced cheer, the itinerary nobody agreed to — give the cast room to be petty and funny in the same breath. Manero plays Coco with a light touch that makes the character’s evasions read as habit rather than cruelty.
The dramatic turns are where the show is less sure. The unspoken feelings between Marín and Coco are the engine, and the series is honest that saying them out loud would break things, not fix them. That is the right instinct. What the show does with that instinct across five episodes is more uneven. The middle stretch repeats a beat it has already made, and the finale resolves faster than the buildup earns.
Daniel Ibáñez and Itziar Manero Carry It
Ibáñez and Manero are the reason to watch. Their scenes together have a lived-in quality — the specific irritation of people who know exactly how the other person will react and resent it anyway. The show is smart to keep them in proximity rather than separating them for plot.
The ensemble around them is where the season’s ambition outruns its page count. Six characters in five episodes means someone is always waiting. That is not a fatal flaw in a first season. It is a flaw the show will have to answer for if it gets a second one.
Ranking the season’s strengths, in the order that matters:
- The central pairing. Ibáñez and Manero make the unspoken-feelings premise work. Without them, the season has no pulse.
- The road-trip structure. Five episodes, one trip, clear destinations. The show never wanders.
- The comic register. The bachelorette obligations give the cast room to be funny without straining.
- The ending. It resolves faster than the season builds toward. The last episode is the weakest.
- The supporting ensemble. Loren, Aroa, Blanca and Gus are sketched, not drawn. Five episodes is not enough for six people.
The ranking is not close. The gap between the first item and the fifth is the whole story of this season. All the Truth in My Lies is a show carried by two performances and a structure, and held back by a page count that never lets the rest of its cast breathe.
The Numbers
- Title: All the Truth in My Lies
- Network: Netflix
- Episodes: 5, in 1 season
- Release date: August 28, 2026 (all episodes)
- Genres: Drama, Comedy
- Cast: Daniel Ibáñez (Marín), Itziar Manero (Coco), Brays Efe (Loren), Lucía de la Fuente (Aroa), Clara Sans (Blanca), Ricardo Gómez (Gus)
- Score: 6.5/10
A 6.5 is the right number, and it is not a shrug. All the Truth in My Lies does the hard part well: it takes a familiar premise — friends, a trip, feelings nobody will say — and finds two actors who make it feel specific. Ibáñez and Manero are genuinely good, and the season’s best scenes are the ones where the two of them are simply in a room together, not saying the thing.
What keeps it at 6.5 rather than higher is the shape of the season itself. Five episodes is a real constraint, and the show spends that budget on its center at the expense of everyone else. Efe, de la Fuente, Sans and Gómez are not given enough to do, and the finale arrives before the season has finished building. That is a fixable problem. It is also a problem the show has not fixed.
The comparison worth making is to what a second season would look like. If All the Truth in My Lies returns, the question is whether it widens the frame or repeats the same five-episode squeeze. The first season proves the show can write two people. It has not yet proved it can write six.
Score: 6.5 of 10.
