I wish, sometimes, that the general populace of this United States were not so screwed up when it comes to sex. However, this is not the case and as a result of this slack-jawed, priggish mindset, the rest of us are robbed of one of the most intelligent, insightful programs this viewer has seen in some time.

Cynthia Mort has depicted a laser focused and thoughtful portrayal of intimacy in "Tell Me You Love Me". She has stripped the inner workings of an intimate, sexual relationship bare with four couples in different stages of their lives. The effect is at once disturbing, hilarious, frightful, and hopeful as these adjectives are really the bones of any relationship. This is a series every person involved in an intimate, sexual relationship should watch more than once.

The cast is brilliant, if not to mention, courageous. Michelle Borth (who knew she was more than just a femme du jour?) and Luke Kirby portray the "new loves" preparing for their wedding day. Sonya Walger (Mort shows her genius in recognizing this woman's talent) and Adam Scott play a childless couple struggling for a baby. Ally Walker, of "Profiler" fame (too long away from the view of the masses) and Tim DeKay of "Carnivale" are the married-for-years-with-kids scenario. Jane Alexander (formidable!) and David Selby (a far cry from "Dark Shadows'" Quentin Collins) play and older, mature couple. All of these actors bring precise candor to their portrayals provoking intense reactions from the watcher.

As you find yourself muttering under your breath, "You bitch!" or "You bastard!" you ultimately realize that you would be the ultimate hypocrite to even attempt to choose sides.

And, yes, they all have sex. It would be silly to present a discourse on intimacy in sexual relationships without the act of sex. So, get over it and watch this show!
