How Meaghan Oppenheimer Made ‘Tell Me Lies’ the Most Dangerous, Sexy Primetime Soap in Ages
With "Tell Me Lies." showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer created a sexy, dangerous primetime soap mined from the banality college life.
It’s what powers her sensational Hulu series “ Tell Me Lies,” a sexually charged drama about college kids who play the devastating, consequential mind games of “Dangerous Liaisons” atop sheets by Bed Bath & Beyond. Stephen is pure toxic masculine evil in baggy jeans, carrying on a secret relationship with a wide-eyed Lucy over the show’s first season — only to dump her at its end and frame her as a lovesick stalker. Their group of friends is caught in the crosshairs and hiding secrets of their own — like drunk-driving deaths, cross-generational affairs with married professors, same-sex attractions, cheating (academic and of-the-heart) and date rape, to name a few — throughout the just-concluded second season.
