The finale episode of Tell Me Lies hit Hulu on Wednesday, leaving viewers gawping in shock as the toxicity of the story’s central relationship kicked up to a whole new level.
The show, based on the Carola Lovering novel, and written by showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer, follows the all-consuming romance between two college students, Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson Wright), as they navigate a devastating tragedy against the backdrop of their own family traumas and destructive behaviors.
Here, Grace Van Patten, who began acting as a child in The Sopranos and most recently starred in Nine Perfect Strangers, sits down with Deadline to discuss the reality of depicting a strong woman sucked into an emotionally abusive situation, what she hopes viewers will take away from this and her second season dreams of vengeance.
Deadline: When we meet her, Lucy is this tough, numbed-out person who takes no prisoners.

Jackson Wright was one of the most despicable Svu villains yet. Still, he nearly got away with multiple rapes because of his powerful position as a CEO of a successful company and his ability to lie with a straight face.
This was one of those stories that seemed like it was going in a totally different direction.
Newcomer Joe Velasco is an enigma as far as Svu goes. Deputy Chief McGrath installed him as a spy, and nobody quite trusts him.
So when his date fell down the stairs after screaming at him to leave her alone, I didn't expect anyone to believe his version of events.
This easily could have gone the way of Velasco having to prove his innocence while Svu argued about whether "believe...
