Disney+’s New #1 Show That Dethroned Percy Jackson Is A Must-Binge

by

Even though it’s not Disney+’s biggest hit, Tell Me Lies recently became more popular than Percy Jackson and the Olympians. This intense psychological drama, based on the book by Carola Lovering, is now streaming on Disney+.

There was a lot of talk online when Tell Me Lies unexpectedly became the most popular show on the streaming service, surpassing the highly anticipated second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. This kind of shift isn’t unusual, though—just a week before, another show, Run Away, took the number one spot from Stranger Things on Netflix.

What Is Tell Me Lies About?

Interestingly, Tell Me Lies wasn’t a brand-new show when it became more popular than Percy Jackson and the Olympians, unlike Run Away. It actually first aired in 2022. The series stars Jackson White as Stephen DeMarco and Grace Van Patten as Lucy Albright, and follows their complicated, eight-year relationship as college students.

Even though season 3 of Tell Me Lies makes some changes to the plot, the show still centers around the unhealthy and damaging relationship between its two main characters. Tell Me Lies is both a love story and a suspenseful drama, and it unfolds Stephen and Grace’s complicated connection at a slower, more deliberate pace. If you don’t enjoy watching characters in toxic relationships, this show might not be for you, but others will find it captivating.

How Tell Me Lies Is Different From Other Romance Shows

Stephen and Grace have a clearly damaging relationship, yet they repeatedly find their way back to each other throughout the show. What sets Tell Me Lies apart from many other romance series is its refusal to glamorize their unhealthy connection, often leaving the audience wondering if they should split up for good.

The season 2 finale of Tell Me Lies perfectly illustrated the show’s complicated dynamic, ending with a shocking twist that made the main couple seem even less compatible. Tell Me Lies has divided audiences; some praise its realistic portrayal of a toxic relationship, while others find it overly dramatic and chaotic.

When New Episodes Of Tell Me Lies Season 3 Release On Hulu & Disney+

If you’re a fan of Tell Me Lies and can’t get enough of the complicated relationship between the main characters, you’ll be happy to know new episodes are coming out soon. Season 3 is available on Hulu and Disney+ every Tuesday at 12 AM Pacific Time, and the story of the Baird College group is getting more intense with each episode.

Okay, so as much as it pains me to watch Stephen get worse in Tell Me Lies, it’s clear season 3 is going to be the most intense yet. And honestly? That’s kind of why I’m hooked. It’s a tough watch, but I can’t look away – the show’s darkness is what’s making it so compelling right now.
