    The cast comes across as natural, even in their stereotypical roles. The dialogue is similarly fluid and representative of the kind of conversations that would happen in these circumstances.

    Over five episodes, half of the entire run of Tell Me Lies, it felt like we were only barely getting to the beginning of the main story. ... The result is a narrow show that finds plenty of individual messy moments to get caught up in, but lacks the depth needed to keep you engaged beyond that.

There are too manyAn intriguing enough show, but it takes itself way too seriously, much like I remember being in college where it is set. There are too many subplots that water down and confuse me to what this story is actually trying to tell me; Is it the car crash plot? Is is the narcissitic relationship? The actors are not believable college students. Am I supposed to care about them? The bad/borderline abusive sex makes me cringe. I'm just not sure what I'm watching, but maybe that's the point? It's juicy enough to keep me watching and the actors are pretty, but a lot of the content leaves me confused and honestly angry. Full Review »

It’s worth watching. Good acting. Decent drama. Lots of intimate scenes. Full Review »
