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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Nearly everything comes together to deliver such a powerful, beautiful, and perfectly brutal gut punch that will not let you forget this show for weeks afterward. In short, while the execution could have been better, the story is quite interesting.
-
Ultimately, We Were Liars might be a bit of a mess, but it's an entertaining mess that is led by multiple talented actors.
