I absolutely love Tell Me Lies. I’ve seen a lot of reviews criticizing the main characters, Stephen and Lucy, for being unlikeable and saying Stephen isn’t attractive, but that’s the whole point. The show portrays how manipulators aren’t always obviously evil or charming in the way we expect. They’re just average people who use subtle, calculated moves to get what they want. Stephen is great at spinning situations in his favor, and Lucy, damaged from her upbringing, becomes easy prey. Her jealousy and insecurity drive her to cling to him more, which is a really interesting dynamic to explore. Yes, Lucy can be selfish and hard to like, but not all main characters need to be likeable. The beauty of Tell Me Lies is that you’re not necessarily rooting for anyone; you’re just watching the pieces fall into place, trying to see how everything leads to the story’s eventual conclusion. I also love the early 2000s setting, with flashes to 2015. The contrast between the past and the future adds depth and makes you more invested in seeing how these characters change over time. The show is explicit, and a lot of people think the sex scenes are too much, but honestly, I think it reflects the college experience accurately. College is messy, and people get caught up in relationships and situations like this all the time. If you’re looking for a show with messy, flawed characters and complex relationships, Tell Me Lies is definitely worth watching. Hoping for a season 3🤞🏻

Not like the original show at all and I'm very disappointed. I don't like that my favorite childhood show has so many unessasary adult themes added. It didn't capture the spirit if the original.
