Dr. May Foster, a marital therapist, counsels patients grappling with issues of intimacy and commitment. Among those seeking help are David, a doting husband and father but, at 40, someone who is having trouble enjoying sexual intimacy with his wife, Katie, a former advertising executive; Carolyn Stenton, a high-powered attorney, who yearns to have a child with her hushand, Palek, who is struggling with major "daddy issues" of his own; and Hugo, whose engagement to girlfriend Jamie may be derailed unless he can overcome his misgivings about a lifetime of monogamy.

Critics Consensus

The verisimilitude of the sex scenes in Tell Me You Love Me may draw viewers, but it's not enough to distract from the dull characters and stodgy dialogue.

Tell Me You Love Me: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Robert Bianco USA Today An unstable mix of thoughtful domestic drama and soft-core sex manual, Tell Me ultimately comes across as nothing more than a desperate cry for attention from a struggling network. Rated: 2.5/4 May 30, 2018 Full Review Tell Me You Love Me: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Tom Shales Washington Post The show probably sounds pat to describe it this way -- one little, two little, three little relationships -- but it is rife with subtleties and insight. May 30, 2018 Full Review Tell Me You Love Me: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Amy Finnerty Wall Street Journal The dialogue is mostly about banalities, with little insight or humor to leaven the script. May 30, 2018 Full Review Tell Me You Love Me: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Seth Freilich Pajiba The result of this, for me at least, is that it all has a bit of a "been there, done that" feel. And this surely won't be helped any by the fact that we'll apparently see the same arguments over and over again as the show progresses... Jun 11, 2018 Full Review Tell Me You Love Me: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette I can't say I find the show enjoyably entertaining, but it is interesting, certainly more than it appeared to be on my first, shocked viewing. May 30, 2018 Full Review Tell Me You Love Me: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Robert Abele L.A. Weekly It's a welcome change of pace from the usually sleek, shimmering, big-budget look of HBO's dramas, and recalls the way Ingmar Bergman adapted his cinematic soul-searching to the small screen.
