Hulu's TellMeLies is yet another regrettable series aimed at women that conflates a toxic relationship with eroticism -- our review:
. I could say it evolves beyond the tropes about college romance and sex. I could claim it elevates itself above simple melodrama. I could even say it has something new to say about toxic relationships. But in doing so, I’m afraid I’d be lying.tries to have it both ways. It’s a series that tracks the arc of a destructive relationship between Lucy and Stephan over the course of eight years, beginning when Lucy is a fresh-faced freshman at Baird College.
attempts to go deeper, making stabs at developing out their characters’ familial backstories for sympathetic audience approval, complicating its blunt eroticism. Like the excuses given by people in toxic relationships, “It’s just sex” until it isn’t — then there needs to be some storyline and framing accountability.
Beyond Lucy and Stephan’s ill-fated entanglement, the series follows some melodramatic b-plots. Lucy’s college roommate makes a grisly early exit out of season for shock and awe. Friends of Lucy’s have sexual misadventures of their own with all the wrong people. Most slot into generic stock characterizations. Occasionally, these minor characters and their interactions possess the depth you wish the main plot would hold.
