Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Tell Me Lies - Season One

Gosh I'm surprised Tell Me Lies has been renewed for a second season. On Hulu too. In Australia of course, it streams on a good value Disney+.

Based on the 2018 novel by Carola Lovering, this has The Summer I Turned Pretty vibes, just a lot more sex. I mean a lot more. The sex lasts all the way to the season finale. Like they sex ALL the TIME!

I am playing catch-up on this one as it started streaming on Hulu back in September.

Tell Me Lies follows a relationship between Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco as it unfolds over the course of 8 years after meeting at college.

Set in 2007 at a fictional upstate New York school called Baird College, this drama chronicles a turbulent but seductive romance between college freshmen Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and college junior Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White). 

Although their relationship starts off like any other campus romance, they quickly become entangled in an addictive entanglement that will forever change not only their lives, but the lives of everyone around them.


It (for the most part) is fairly stock standard young adult fun. College girls, college jocks, sex, drugs, parties and lake houses.

When we land at episode ten, the final party of the school year is hit by a wave of truths, secrets, and a shocking act of betrayal that threatens both a long-standing friendship and two relationships.

The music really hits the right indie cords, however the storyline are mega cliche.

It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, however no air date has been set for the second season. The show also does (somehow) have a high score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. Also on a side note, American Horror Story scream queen, Emma Roberts is also one of the producers.
