    Awkwardly Heartbreaking or Heartbreakingly Awesome?

    The problem I find with this show is that I dislike all of the characters. There's all a bunch of overbearing yuppy prats. Frankly I think there are enough shows that deal with upper middle class angst. I find it hard to feel sorry for these people.

    This show dies by its writing and lives by its look. Every camera angle, every scene, every lighting arrangement, every thing visual about this show works. And it works well. The moments are always intimate feeling, so much so that, even when characters are not having sex, you feel like you're watching something just as, if not more private. The problem is the writing. Bad writing. This show dies by its writing and lives by its look. Every camera angle, every scene, every lighting arrangement, every thing visual about this show works. And it works well. The moments are always intimate feeling, so much so that, even when characters are not having sex, you feel like you're watching something just as, if not more private. The problem is the writing. Bad writing. Horrendous writing. All the lines are predictable. All the situations are pointless and goofy in their pretension. If more effort was put into shading the characters, into giving the talented actors/actresses something to say, or into just making an interesting story, this would be the best show on TV. But, alas, it isn't.… Expand

    The show proves that women are crazy and can only get along with gay men.

    Tell Me is an incisive drama, but it's not an easy commitment.

    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.

    In short, if you come for the sex, you'll only stay for the characters, and those represent an intriguing but decidedly mixed bag.
