Traitors, Tell Me Lies, and Toxic TV Boyfriends

Your One And Only Source for what your favorite shows like Tell Me Lies and Traitors are really serving — in this relaxed, gossipy deep-dive, Caroline and Phoebe unpack why messy relationship dramas (like Tell Me Lies and Gossip Girl) hook viewers so hard, why some finales fall flat while others become legendary, and how shows like Breaking Bad pull off endings that feel both inevitable and shocking. They also debate the toxic TV boyfriend hierarchy — asking whether characters like Mr. Big, Conrad Fisher, and the boyfriends of Rory Gilmore (Dean, Jess, and Logan) really belong in the same danger tier as true red-flag icons like Joe Goldberg, Stephen DiMarco, Ezra Fitz and Nate Jacobs. Add in quick takes on bold adaptation swings by Emerald Fennell with Wuthering Heights and the subtle craft choices that make prestige TV so addictive, and you’ve got a smart, chill, slightly scandalous listen for anyone who overthinks their binge-watch.*BREAKING BAD AND TELL ME LIES SPOILERS AND WUTHERING HEIGHTS*Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
