Early Look: “Tell Me You Love Me” September 8, 2007 3:48 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in 2007/2008 TV Season, Cable TV, Early Look, HBO, News, Reviews, Television.1 comment so far
Since the end of The Sopranos, HBO hasn’t had much success with their new programming. Several of their currently running shows have been going through dips in the ratings, while most of their new shows have either failed to catch on (Flight of the Conchords) or have been out-right canceled after poor seasons (ratings wise) and a rather subdued reaction from critics and fans alike (John from Cincinnati). Tell Me You Love Me could be just the show that brings HBO back to where their slogan–it’s not TV it’s HBO–rings true once again.
