Alguien está mintiendo

When a group of give teenagers head into detention, only four of them come out alive.

It's a bit of a mix between Scream and Thirteen Reasons why, if you're a fan of those shows, you may well enjoy this.

It's a good series, it's very watchable, it is guilty of delivering every single cliche under the sun, of course the central characters are all attractive, of course one is wealthy, of course there's the prom...

One of the issues I had, is that it doesn't really care to do anything particularly different, there's nothing exactly new here, apart from the low count.

It is a little padded in the middle, it was perhaps guilty of being perhaps two episodes too long, the first and last two perhaps the best of the series.

It looks nice, the music is great, it's visually very appealing.

7/10.

Like most of the US' teen TV shows, One of Us Is Lying still displays characters that look too old as a high school student. It's a bit creepy, to be honest.

But, despite that, it's an engaging murder mystery entwined with your daily dose of teen drama. A very binge-worthy show. Until they did a slight alteration with the finale.

Gone is the intensity of the climax and the satisfying epilogue of the book on which the show is based. Replace with your typical bland soap opera twist that clearly is a bridge to the next season. I'm so sorry, but because of that, I've lost my interest to follow their next story.

Completely different plot line than the book (though of course keeps the same gist), but honestly I found it just as enticing and complex. This version gives you more complexity and sympathy for Simon, more of maeve in her own spotlight, and still keeps you guessing til the end. Wonderful cast and production, plus room created to further another storyline!

Ok so from the moment I saw the cast, I didn't have exactly high standards for the show. It seemed like yet another teen drama involving a rich kids' school, a bunch of over the top depictions of high schoolers' lives. But now, I honestly don't know how to describe it. It wasn't a bad show. It had my mind running around trying to figure out who did it and I still couldn't guess it right. The characters had some depth to them; addy has a habit of twirling her hair when nervous and Bronwyn shakes her legs. I also liked the cinematics and thought they were nice. The plot too was very good. What I didn't like tho, is the lack of innovation it had. The story at this point has been worn out. It was used in 13 reasons why, control Z, and Elite, to name but a few. I also didn't like how they munched on the old stereotypes of the bad boy going for the hard working, good girl, the rich kids' parents don't know him well, the jock who's a closeted gay, like this is 2022, being gay isn't that big of a deal anymore . I didn't like how they didn't address certain elements. Like, Maeve says she went through lukemia, we never see her struggle with it, the bad boy has been gone for a while, we don't exactly see what he's been up to during that time, Addy has been stalked by someone but they don't tell us who it was. My point is, the plot had many holes and it would have been better if they'd have been a little but more creative, I understand that it's difficult when almost every single idea out there has been exploited . I did appreciate the fact that it didn't have much sex or nudity. I feel like Netflix turned this into a norm now for its shows,which is a shame.

Anyway, I recommend this show if you're looking for a quick binge.

Gives me PLL vibes although I can't help but feel like these characters could have had some more development of their friendships. There were a few other things that I thought could have been done better but I'm really being picky. That being said, it was very enjoyable to watch and I would definitely watch a season 2.

P.s. Sometimes it was hard to watch because these kids made such bad choices.
