HBO’s ‘Tell Me You Love Me,’ shocking, familiar
By FRAZIER MOORE Associated Press Associated Press
“Tell Me You Love Me”: The imploring title says a mouthful, setting the stage for doubt, disappointment, cross-purposes, disruption. Just note how Dave can tell his wife he loves her, then add defensively, “Too bad that’s not enough.”
Created by Cynthia Mort, a screenwriter with the sitcoms “Roseanne” and “Will & Grace” among her credits, “Tell Me” gives vivid expression to the plight of characters misreading themselves and the people they’re closest to. It charts a struggle viewers will identify with, amid their fascination and unease. (Be careful who you watch this series with, by the way. Any given episode could spark a conversation that goes unexpected, unwanted places.)
“The one thing a therapist can do, in times of darkness, is turn a light on,” says Dr. Foster, words that could also be a mission statement for the series. “The trick now is not to be so stunned by the glare that you want to turn it back off.”
Watching “Tell Me You Love Me,” see how you react when a light turns on.
