Synopsis
Tell Me a Story (2018) — a dark American psychological thriller series you can watch online on iFILM. The show takes three classic fairy tales — The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretel — and strips away everything gentle, transplanting the stories into a gritty, crime-ridden New York City where the characters deal in drugs, violence and hard secrets.
The three storylines run in parallel and gradually intersect across the city. The cast includes Billy Magnussen, Paul Wesley, Kim Cattrall and Carrie-Anne Moss. Created for CBS All Access, the first season launched in 2018, with a second season moving the setting and the fairy-tale source material entirely.
The show's commitment to the premise is what makes it work. These are not winking nods to childhood stories — the fairy-tale scaffolding is structural, not decorative, and the darkness is earned rather than performed. Best suited for viewers who enjoy genre television that takes its own rules seriously. Stream Tell Me a Story online on iFILM.
