"Some find it hard to enjoy a show unless there is at least one likable character, but I disagree. I like a show where everyone behaves so badly all of the time that I can freely pick and choose who to root for without worrying so much about who cheated on who first or who did what to cover up for their boyfriend killing a girl during Welcome Week."
"To recap: Wrigley has accidentally killed his brother with painkillers. Bree has just gotten out of her confusing affair with the unethically ethically nonmonogamous professor. Diana has evil-masterminded her breakup with Stephen. Lucy lied that Chris had sexually assaulted her to protect Pippa. And Evan made the catastrophically stupid decision to confess to sleeping with Lucy to Stephen. None of which has been resolved by the time of Evan and Bree's wedding in 2015."
"Stephen has yet to do anything even remotely redeemable, so I wonder how he managed to score an invite to this wedding. If even his bros are sick of his shenanigans in 2009, why is he being allowed to give a toast at the rehearsal dinner in 2015? They should have him arrested. We know that Stephen hasn't actually changed a bit, because, mome"
The recap covers episodes 1–3 of Tell Me Lies, tracing Lucy and Stephen from their 2007 meeting at Baird College through crises that culminate in a 2015 wedding. Their intense sexual relationship pulls together a friend group that fragments under manipulation, deceit, and harm: an accidental overdose death, an affair with an unethical professor, a fabricated sexual-assault claim, and a confession of infidelity. Characters repeatedly behave badly and enable one another, producing cascading consequences that remain unresolved by 2015. Stephen remains unredeemed yet retains social access, raising questions about accountability within the group.
