Season 1 Review: Don’t expect groundbreaking drama –We Were Liars is far from a teen Big Little Lies. But if you want to enjoy some rich mansion property porn, something pulpy to switch your brain off to, and a juicy little mystery, then We Were Liars may just be the perfect summer watch.

Season 1 Review: The writers certainly blow everything up in a moving, jarring finale. But the buildup to it lacks the gravitas for it to effectively land. Beechwood Island—and We Were Liars—might be sunny and intriguing at first glance, but it doesn’t cast a strong enough spell to stick with you. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While there are good performances and some interesting characters in We Were Liars, we were pretty bored with the nondescript teenage characters at the show’s center, and wanted to scream every time we heard Candence’s narration. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A po-faced thriller about characters who are privileged and bland, soundtracked by the kind of acoustic dirges that used to blight John Lewis Christmas adverts. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In such a vast sea of stories about miserable rich white people, it’s hard to feel moved by the glacially paced awakening of one pampered princess coming to realize, at the big age of 16, that there might be more to life than partying on her family’s private beach. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This series tries, but its missteps are too large to ignore, and it'll probably end up as one of the year's TV flops. Read full review
