With free porn everywhere, showing sex just for its own sake is pointless, you have to be invested in the characters to make it interesting. 

It's like "Red Shoe Diary" for Zoomers. Completely pointless but nice too look at.

Before this and Euphoria I had no idea that the only two thing high school & college kids do are parties and the sexual intercourse 24/7.

Somehow this popped up so I watched it. I can't say much that hasn't been said but I'm almost mad at myself for watching the entire thing. I couldn't understand Diana pushing to get that narcissist cheater back. Whhhhyyyyy? The completely ridiculous accident is exactly why I ended up hating the book Verity which pulled the same BS. Although nothing was answered, I'm mad that there is another season. Even though they've changed some of it, I'm half-tempted to read the damn book so I don't have to watch.

[In a weird coincidence, I've been listening to Rick Springfield's memoir. He is talking about his drummer Jack White (not that one) and how he married Katey Sagal and they had 2 kids. So then I see a post from Rick that Jack died today. So I knew he couldn't still be married to Katey, so I looked it up to then see the actor that plays Stephen is her son with Jack White!]

Can’t stand Stephen. It’s so hard to watch this show. He’s manipulative, selfish, doesn’t take responsibility, liar, uses people and blames everyone for situations he doesn’t like in his life in others words he’s a huge NARCISSIST. Bleh 🤮

Just found and recommended this show to a friend as follows: "It's like Euphoria goes to college, with alcohol and weed instead of hard drugs. Partying, hookups, and a death secret."

Just finished Ep. 5 (Merry F*cking Christmas) and wanted to add the sentiment that I sincerely hope that Sadie found Freddie.  That cat is worth the entire lot of these characters.

That said, will definitely continue to watch, even if said watching is tinged with a hint of hate.

The actress that plays Lucy looks so much like Shailene Woodley that I keep thinking it’s her . Even their voices sound the same .

Tim Van Patten's daughter and Dick Van Patten's niece.  (The latter will be especially familiar to Viewers Of A Certain Age, although Tim had his moments in the sun as well). I assumed she was related somewhere in there because of the unusual last name.

Late to the party as I just watched this show, but I also thought Pippa (and Stephen) looked older than the rest. As a few of you said, it wasn't easy finding her age. There is another actress with the same age who is in her 80s. But I found this on the fourth or fifth page of a Google search. (Source is army-movie.com, apparently a blog and unclear if it's credible.)

Sep 13, 2024 — Sonia Mena, an American actress known for playing Pippa in “Tell Me Lies,” was born on November 27, 1997, and her age will be 27 in 2024.

I'm not sure I believe it. The actress looks well into her 30s to me and certainly older than Grace Van Patten, who is the same age. I also thought the actor playing Stephen looked about 35. Surprised to read he's 28.
