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.

What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 05/30/2018
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. Go to Full Review Amy Finnerty Wall Street Journal 05/30/2018
The dialogue is mostly about banalities, with little insight or humor to leaven the script. Go to Full Review Seth Freilich Pajiba 06/11/2018
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... Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 05/30/2018
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. Go to Full Review Robert Abele L.A. Weekly 05/30/2018
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
