The ending of Tell Me Your Secrets Season 1 left no doubt that the hit series will be back for Season 2. Like the best mysteries, with each clue came as many questions as answers. Show creator and writer Harriet Warner put together a tight puzzle of interlocking pieces. Along the way, John falls back into bad habits Karen remembers she has a child, and another body is found.

Her theory is it takes a monster to catch a monster. Mary Barlow(Brenneman) hires John Tyler(Linklater) to track down Karen because she believes she knows where her daughter is. Her new boyfriend, police officer Tom, a supremely earnest Marque Richardson( Antebellum), becomes involved when she finally tells him near the end of the series. As she slowly begins recovering her memories, she finds Jess, a teen girl she recently met, dead in an abandoned cabin. Karen doesn’t remember most of their time together but was convicted of murder along with Kit. Karen, who is now Emma and in Witness Protection, was released from jail after providing testimony about her boyfriend Kit Parker’s crimes. Mary’s sweet son Jake(Elliot Fletcher) is empathetic and soulful as he tries to hang onto the only part of his family he has left, and psychologist/handler to Karen Pete(Enrique Murciano) is so ambiguously creepy he lights up every scene. His pleasant demeanor and vanilla looks hide a beast waiting to strike. Rabe could easily get overshadowed by Brenneman but manages to hold her own in the same way she did against powerhouse Jessica Lange.įinally, Hamish Linklater who proved he could play very dark in Hulu’s Monsterland, is every young woman’s nightmare.

Matching her intensity is fragile Emma Hall, aka Karen Miller, played by American Horror Story alum Lily Rabe. She brings much of the same brittle energy as she did to The Leftovers. Amy Brenneman(Mary Barlow) was fantastic as a tragically obsessed mother whose daughter went missing years ago. There was virtually no way it could lose. Amazon’s latest sudsy thriller, Tell Me Your Secrets, was destined for success.
