Tell Me Lies has been available on Disney+ since November 16, and it lives up to its minor success. But what exactly is this series about?
Why is ?
The tumultuous and heady relationship between Lucy and Stephen, spanning 8 years. When the two meet in college, they are at an age where seemingly mundane decisions lead to irrevocable consequences. Although their relationship starts out as a campus romance, they quickly spiral into an addictive tangle that will forever change not just their lives but everyone around them.
lies and betrayal
The Tell Me Lies series, airing internationally on Hulu, landed with us on Disney+ on November 16th. Of course, directly in the STAR area, which is aimed at parents and teenagers. That’s especially the case here, as it’s not recommended for anyone under the age of 16 on the platform… and with good reason.
Based on a novel by Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies revolves around a toxic couple who love, tear apart and destroy each other over a number of years. Grace Van Patten (Nine Perfect Strangers) and Jackson White (Mrs Fletcher) are perfect in this role. A sulphurous relationship that is reflected on screen in numerous sex scenes that explain the ban.
The first season, consisting of 10 episodes, takes place over a period of four years, from their meeting in college to their reunion at their friends’ wedding. As we quickly understand that the two former lovers had an unhealthy relationship, we gradually realize that it has affected their circle of friends as well.
Without going into too much detail and so as not to spoil you, the plot revolves around a character’s death, which has catastrophic consequences for everyone. Beyond the toxic aspect of the relationship – the two heroes are clearly problematic, even if Stephen ticks all the boxes of the friend to be avoided – Tell Me Lies is above all a tale of betrayal and betrayal, and the revelations made keep the count dropping us on our toes enough to go to the end of the season.
Anyway, the Emma Roberts-produced series by Meaghan Oppenheimer has hit the mark with viewers since Hulu just renewed it for a second season.
