Psychology Today | 28.02.2026 20:20Tell Me Lies is a Hulu series that follows a group of college students whose lives are slowly overtaken by the charming, exploitative behavior of one person among them. On the surface, it's a story about young love, toxic obsession, and dysfunctional social relationships. But it’s also a painfully accurate portrayal of complex and nuanced themes like psychological manipulation, self-abandonment, and surrendering authenticity to belong. The show is slow at times, and sometimes plays like softcore porn. It's definitely not for everyone. But if you can move past that, the series offers a fascinating look at deeper human vulnerabilities that make us susceptible to harm.
