Is anybody else as obsessed with this new HBO show, Tell me you Love me as I am? It’s strange, I watched the first episode and thought it was a totally self-indulgent, depressing, somewhat disgusting drama, but  somehow, it’s ended up being like a bad car accident that I can’t help but crank my neck to see. Still self indulgent and depressing? Yes. But highly addictive!

The show is about 4 different sets of couples–all of them with major relationship issues, and most of them dealing with sex. Who cares, right? Well, I’m hooked after three episodes and can’t wait until Tuesday when I can pull the new one off On Demand. I think what moves me about this show, is that it really tackles honest issues—scrutinizes them almost. It is a show that isn’t all about the happy side of love, or the sexy part of sex, and there isn’t a hint of violence in it. (Don’t get me wrong, I love The Sopranos). It’s just a completely different and dark drama tackling issues that most people would never want to talk about–let alone watch. I love it! I have to admit, the show is pretty hard to watch emotionally, but I’ve really started to love these characters and sympathize with them.  I’m officially hooked!
Thoughts,  anyone?
