Karen is being pursued, meanwhile, by Mary Barlow (Brenneman), a mother who believes she knows the truth about her missing daughter Theresa (Stella Baker). There, despite being told to not get close to anyone, she strikes up an unexpected friendship of sorts with a scared young girl, Jess (Emyri Crutchfield), who lives at a local group home-and who then disappears almost immediately. After serving her own time in jail, she’s released into witness protection as “Emma Hall” under the care of a psychiatrist, Peter Guillory (Enrique Murciano), who helps set her up in the Louisiana bayou town of St. But Karen has been suffering from blackouts that keep her from knowing the truth of her part in Kit’s plans, something she is working to uncover. Her ex-boyfriend, Kit Parker (Xavier Samuel), is in jail for the brutal murders of nine women, and everyone believes she helped him do it. Rabe is the anchor point of the series as Karen Miller, a woman on the run from her past. It’s messy, intriguing, ridiculous, and fully addictive. The 10-episode series, which will now air as a binge-watch, stars Lily Rabe, Amy Brenneman, and Hamish Linklater as three troubled individuals brought together because of a series of previous crimes. Tell Me Your Secrets, created and written by Harriet Warner, was originally developed for TNT and filmed pre-COVID, before TNT changed directions and dropped it (I don’t know why, this show would have been perfect for them) Amazon picked it up instead. Shows like HBO’s The Undoing and now Amazon’s Tell Me Your Secrets are ultimately just beach reads translated into TV (Netflix is also full of them as well under the “crime” category.) Frankly, I don’t really care what they’re called, I’m just happy to see them back in all of their cockamamie glory. ![]() But now these series and their terrible wigs are ending up on more “prestigious” networks with recognizable names attached, masquerading as something more elevated. There has been a resurgence of a TV genre Lifetime perfected decades ago: the pulpy crime thriller.
