Philadelphia Inquirer

Season 1 Review: There's no intrigue, no entertainment, and the show's motion, when there is any, is so s-l-o-w, it's virtually undetectable. Read full review

Slate

Season 1 Review: Why didn't HBO just go ahead and cut each episode of the hour-long Tell Me You Love Me to 50 minutes? The trims would have gone some way toward relieving the boredom inspired by the show's inchworm pace, and the shrink's-hour format would have made an exact fit for the spirit of the exercise.

Len Sousa

Season 1 Review: It's not the realism that brings Tell Me You Love Me down, it's the long list of unlikeable characters. Read full review

Heather Havrilesky

Season 1 Review: Yes, [the sex is] all very realistic, but not very hot, thanks to the fact that these are grouchy, humorless people whom we'd rather see hitting each other in the head with two-by-fours. Read full review

Detroit Free Press

Season 1 Review: Tell Me You Love Me is little more than an intellectually pretentious, emotionally vapid snoozer. Read full review

Wall Street Journal

Season 1 Review: Nonorganic dialogue quickly becomes boring for viewers. The directors seem to have lavished so much energy on the choreography of the sex scenes that they have nothing left for verbal expression. Read full review
