    All the links to the full reviews are re-directed to a commercial website. Someone please correct this. 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...

    Started off quite well but by episode 5 it has become completely lame. Great acting but a really un-twisty plot filled with red top vigilantism. Very disappointed.

    Very good show with lots of twists and turns. Exciting to watch. The overall acting is very good. And unfortunately a reality of how society treats victims of rape.

    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.

    The two main performances, on which the entire series rests, are both astonishing: Joanne Froggatt, so solid in Downton Abbey, is captivatingly fragile, swaying from likable to unstable in a matter of moments. And we’re so used to seeing Ioan Gruffudd as the romantic hero, it’s fascinating to see him offer such a multi-faceted performance, effortlessly shifting between the light and the dark.
