Critic Reviews

Gillian Flynn

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

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Tell Me You Love Me is an engrossing, searing, sometimes squirm-inducing study of intimacy, told with a fly-on-the-bedroom-wall realism that is both clinical and wrenching. Voyeurism has rarely felt so unnerving yet ultimately rewarding. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

[A] deeply interesting, occasionally riveting show. Read full review

Robert Bianco

The stories and performances vary in interest, and all would benefit from a bit more humor. Still, even the weaker stories eventually pull you in, if only because you spend so much time listening to these people complain, you want to see how they work things out. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

The couples are ordinary, and so are their issues. That’s part of the goal of the show--to dissect the mundanity of love and anger. But making a developing story out of these tangles and skirmishes is extremely difficult, and Tell Me You Love Me doesn’t quite pull it off. Read full review

Mary McNamara

Unfortunately, it is difficult to stay interested in what happens to any of these characters because most of them are so absurdly unlikable. Read full review

Amy Finnerty

Nonorganic dialogue quickly becomes boring for viewers. The directors seem to have lavished so much energy on the choreography of the sex scenes that they have nothing left for verbal expression. Read full review

I don't understand why this show got such low ratings. I am a young man, never married, but still loved this show. The acting is the most incredible I have seen in any TV show (and few movies top the acting). The issues are interesting and every person in a long term relationship willI don't understand why this show got such low ratings. I am a young man, never married, but still loved this show. The acting is the most incredible I have seen in any TV show (and few movies top the acting). The issues are interesting and every person in a long term relationship will identify with. The ending might have been a bit too cliche; could have ended more realisticly... but that's besides the point.… Expand

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

I don't see this show making it past a season at best. And I know for sure it won't be HBO's next great hit. The characters are fairly boring and unlikable on the whole. It's basically a bunch of rich good looking white people crying/whining about their problems which I don't see this show making it past a season at best. And I know for sure it won't be HBO's next great hit. The characters are fairly boring and unlikable on the whole. It's basically a bunch of rich good looking white people crying/whining about their problems which all relate back to sex. The sex scenes are boring which is probably the most realistic part of the entire show. But the nudity won't be enough to keep viewers captivated.… Expand

Across the board, all of these characters are insufferable bores, and I couldn't care less what happens to them in couples therapy. Not even the prosthetic genitals will make me tune in for the second episode.

The worst HBO show I have ever seen. HBO stick to investing in the programs people want like ROME or DEADWOOD. We will cancel if this is what HBO is now going to behind their name.
