Tell Me Lies the series based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Carola Lovering, has now concluded.
The Hulu series starring Grace Van Patten, Jackson White, Catherine Missal, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook, Benjamin Wadsworth, Alicia Crowder, & Tom Ellis.
Ahead of the final episode, it was announced this was set to be the series finale. I feel Hulu did the right thing by ending this toxic relationship series.
It was getting a bit same-same and Lucy, OMG! But Stephen, why was he so toxic ALL the gosh damn time.
This show at times (whilst popular) was hard to watch. It was a bit much. I am so not the target demo, but the examination in Lucy and Stephens relationship over eight insane years, was a lot!
