HBO canceling sex-drenched Tell Me You Love Me
I watched Tell Me You Love Me a few times, but it never had enough oomph to bring me back every week. I guess a lot of viewers felt that way, because HBO decided not to renew it for a second season.
The sex-drenched show followed the lives of couples in therapy and was probably one of the most sexually explicit shows on TV. I have friends who watched it religiously, and some say they felt uncomfortable not so much with the sex, but because it felt like they were eavesdropping on peoples’ darkest secrets.
Creator/executive producer Cynthia Mort said in a statement, “Given the considerable amount of time that has passed and despite the best efforts of everyone involved, we were unable to find the direction of the show for the second season. There are so many other stories to tell and many other ways to tell them. I look forward to doing that with HBO in the future.”
HBO’s other therapy-themed drama, In Treatment, was recently picked up for a second season. So at least we can still eavesdrop on those folks — and, of course, get our fix of Gabriel Byrne.
