    Whether the series is turning its lens inward or zooming out, it remains committed to wading into gray areas and creating a space free of judgment or moralizing. There are no easy answers here, but like a good student, Tell Me Lies is willing to put in the work to search for them.

    Tell Me Lies gets even darker in Season 3, which didn’t seem to be possible, but it also turns its gaze inwards at the interior lives of these broken characters to mixed but largely compelling effect.

    To be honest, there’s a lot I genuinely dislike about this show. .... And yet, the show is also undeniably addictive; the characters and their behaviors might be unlikeable, but with new lies and mysteries unfolding in every episode, there’s just enough there to get you to binge the whole thing.

    Hulu's best guilty-pleasure watch will pull you in, mess with your head, and make you second-guess why you're so intrigued by the complicated characters at the center of its story.
