As a whole, We Were Liars might be another example of TV with "eat the rich" commentary, but its expansion of the teen drama formula is what makes it thrilling from start to finish. Read full review

Intricate and beautifully woven, “We Were Liars” is a twisted and compelling series about family, entitlement and consequences. Though the final two episodes aren’t as powerful as they could have been, the show is still worth the ride. Read full review

While it does get a little bogged down under its many subplots — and the cliffhanger ending feels almost like it was tacked on from one of the showrunners’ previous shows — it’s still a fun series, quick to binge and easy to digest, culminating in a sweeping bittersweet finale that will leave viewers emotionally satisfied, and maybe even in tears.

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. Read full 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

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

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
