Dec 4, 2018At the very least, i expected it to be a bootleg black mirror, about modernized fairy tale. I was wrong. This is just a boring soap opera with huge SJW content. There was barely a single thing related to fairy tale in the pilot. Don't watch it.

Nov 23, 2018Substitutes gratuitous drug use, nudity, and vapid cookie cutter characters, for anything resembling decent plot or compelling dialogue. 40 minutes into the first episode I had to question why anyone would willingly choose to watch this show... Watching Kim Cattrell deliver these terrible lines made me all the more angry at whoever wrote and produced this terrible piece of television.

But the veteran Williamson—who's masterminded everything from the maniacal Scream franchise, to the terrifying murder-cult drama The Following, to more teenage vampire claptrap than can be listed on cyberspace—can really rattle your bones even when he's not necessarily engaging your intellect.

The characters are lifeless composites with little or no reason to care about what they’re doing. The dialogue is blunt at best and painful at worst. The look of the series, with both episodes directed by Liz Friedlander, is so plain viewers will find themselves missing the animated credits sequence--that is, until it rolls around again at the start of Episode 2 and reminds you why it, too, is pretty gross.

The enticing logline and lovely, painterly opening credits of CBS All Access' new Kevin Williamson-created drama Tell Me a Story tease a show that, unfortunately, is much more clever, coherent and ultimately fun than what the first five episodes actually deliver.
