    The twists escalate into a feverish peak of outrageous melodrama, making Fatal Attraction look mellow. Even so, it's enjoyable to the end, setting up a second season I'm even more eager to see. [2-15 Oct 2017, p.15]

    Both Froggatt and Gruffudd prove equally matched, with Gruffudd’s blend of charm and confusion essential to selling the ambiguous nature of the premise. ... But when the big twists come--and oh, they do come--neither actor is able to escape the material, particularly the dense confessional monologues that completely contradict the grounded nature of earlier episodes.

    About four hours into this six-episode series I just wanted to know how it all turned out so that I could be free of these mostly-unpleasant people. That I stayed to the end is a measure of the Williams brothers’ skill as plot-creators, I guess, but it’s also not a huge recommendation.

    The truth is, Liar is rich with potential but low on results.

As far as Liar goes I watched the first episode and found it to be better than these critics suggest. But perhaps I'm in for a disappointment as it unfolds. Although not nearly as good it does have some "Broadchurchishness" about it...… Full Review »
