The second season of one of the ‘most twisted, toxic shows on TV’ has finally been added to BBC iPlayer.
Tell Me Lies follows the toxic eight-year relationship between Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White), beginning when they meet at college.
The Hulu/Star Original series explores how their obsessive entanglement permanently alters their lives and those around them, and how choices made at their formative age lead to irrevocable consequences.
Based on the novel by Carola Lovering, it uses a dual timeline, flashing between the present and the past to reveal the impacts of their relationship.
Now, following an agonising year wait, the series has been added to BBC iPlayer in the UK for fans to enjoy.
The second season has been described as taking even more risks than the first, leaving fans with one of the most intense cliffhangers imaginable.
An official synopsis on the BBC page reads: ‘The one you’ll never forget. Toxic love, ruthless ambition and shocking betrayal. A passionate college relationship will have consequences they never could have imagined.’
Writing on Reddit, CauliflowerLife called it: ‘The twistiest, most toxic show on TV Is still irresistible.’
Commenting on Google, Vahid Ashrafi added: ‘Tell Me Lies hooked me with its realistic portrayal of a toxic relationship. It’s not just about the drama, but it actually dives deep into the psychology behind why we get caught up in these messy situations.’
Alex Keely also wrote: ‘Honestly, I love this show. It’s thought provoking, relatable content and relatable characters.
‘I’m in my 30s so I related from a younger self point of view. It’s a relatively mature story line for college which in my opinion makes it better.’
Alix Cabrera similarly said: ‘I love this show so much , such a good insight into what it means to be in a toxic relationship.
‘So many good plot twists and turns. You get so reeped into the show, and wanting to watch another episode. Definitely worth a watch if you are into drama shows.’
However, not all viewers were equally pleased by the show’s chaotic storylines.
Lauren, also writing on Google, said: ‘I read this book and LOVED it, but I’m really disappointed in the series. The characters are extremely unlikeable, and it seems as if they all hate each other — what’s with the constant tension? The backstabbing? Why are these people even friends?!’
Echoing this, Tekeyah Hodge added: ‘They both get on my nerves! He’s a huge narcissist toxic lair…ooohhhh so many times I wanted to jump through the tv.’
The Hulu series was formerly released on BBC iPlayer in January last year, with the episodes being released weekly.
In December it was then revealed that Hulu officially renewed Tell Me Lies for a third season.
Filming for season three began in May this year, with showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer returning to lead the series.
Tell Me Lies season two is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
