*Bonus Episode* What Tell Me Lies Can Tell Us About People: A clinical psychologist’s perspective

If you’ve seen the Hulu show Tell Me Lies, you know that the characters range from bad-decision-makers to straight-up-evil. And every episode, you think ‘it can’t possibly get worse’ - and then it does. So, I wanted to get Dr. Beth’s take.

In today’s bonus episode, we’re doing a recap of the first four episodes of Season 3, covering the craziest moments (in our opinions) so far.

Then, we’re diving into a Q&A on the character’s behaviors, personalities, and choices, all from a psychologist’s perspective. We cover what makes Stephen so dangerous and what to do if you know someone like him in real life, why toxic relationship cycles continue, what role Lucy plays in her situation, and how shame and insecurity impact relationship dynamics (hello Lucy and Alex).

We also discuss Oliver’s manipulative behavior, whether you can do the wrong thing for the right reasons, and why we the audience love to watch shows like this.
