There's a scene in the first episode of Hulu's "Tell Me Lies," where the character Stephen DeMarco - played by Jackson White - leaves the dorm room of freshman character Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten,) where he comforted her after a tragedy. He's spent the night selling himself as a sensitive, charming guy who is very interested in Lucy. As he walks further away the music changes and so does Stephen's expression. He returns to his dorm where his on-again-of-again girlfriend, Diana, (played by Alicia Crowder) is waiting for him.

And this is one of many moments where viewers may want to throw pillows or scream at the TV while watching "Tell Me Lies," a 10-episode series now streaming on Hulu with a new episode dropping on Wednesdays.
