फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
The four major roles - Cady, Gat, Mirrin and Johnny are cast with actors that are too old to play 16-year-old teenagers. Shubham Maheshwari, who plays Gat, is 29. The actresses who play Cady and Mirrin are 23 and the actor who plays Johnny is 20. The carriage and maturity between a 16-year- old and a 23-year-old is very different. It shows.
The mothers are only 10 years older than their actor children. Again, it shows.
The other thing that is unrealistic is how money grubbing the three sister's characters are. If they hate each other so much, they wouldn't spend the summer's together. And not every person with money just wants money. The patriarch is also a horrible person, also all about money. I think the author or screenwriters are writing about a world they don't know or understand. Very shallow writing.
The scenery is pretty, the premise bizarre. Issues that could have been explored were ignored. Other issues - like grief, privilege and race were dealt with badly.
This show is not convincing on so many levels, so I say - it is a miss.

Watching We Were Liars felt like being lured into a dream only to realize, far too late, that it was a nightmare. It's sun-drenched and pretty on the outside-Cape Cod vibes, golden-hour dinners, old money elegance-but beneath all that gloss is guilt, trauma, and a twist that genuinely left me stunned even knowing what was coming.
If you're going in blind: good. This story wants to break your heart.
✅ What Worked for Me
1. That dreamy aesthetic masks real tragedy The island is a character all on its own-gorgeous, isolated, haunting. The cinematography is stunning and almost too perfect... which, of course, is the point.
2. Sadie Sink as Cadence = inspired casting She carries this film. You feel her confusion, her hunger for truth, and that quiet ache underneath every interaction. The way she plays memory loss and emotional unraveling is subtle and devastating.
"We are liars. We are beautiful and privileged. We are cracked and broken."
3. The twist still lands Even if you've read the book, the way the film builds to it-slowly, with these eerie flashes of memory and tension-made it work all over again.
4. The score is haunting The music walks that tightrope between nostalgic and unnerving. Piano melodies over painful flashbacks? Brutal.
❌ What Didn't Land as Well
1. Some characters feel too thin Gat, Johnny, and Mirren (the other "Liars") don't get enough screen time to feel fully fleshed out. You get glimpses, sure-but if you haven't read the book, you might not connect as deeply.
2. The pacing drags a little mid-film The second act meanders as Cady tries to piece things together. Some repetition could've been trimmed for tighter momentum.
3. Voiceover-heavy moments feel too bookish A few lines work better on the page than out loud. At times, it feels like the script is trying too hard to stay "poetic."
🌟 Final Thoughts
7 out of 10 We Were Liars doesn't just tell you a story-it makes you question everything you just saw, and everything you believed. It's a sun-soaked tragedy wrapped in a mystery, and when the pieces finally fall into place, it leaves you gutted in the best way. It's not a "twist movie"-it's a memory movie. And it lingers.
I knew the ending. It still broke me.

I'm usually really picky with TV shows. I can tell within a few minutes if something isn't for me. But this show grabbed me almost immediately. Maybe it was the visuals, or the divergent storyline, but something about it just clicked. The dynamic between the three Sinclair sisters was the highlight for me, their squabbles, their raw honesty, and the beautiful chaos of their lives. It felt authentic. Familiar, even reminiscent of Succession, but still fresh in its own way.
I expected the flashbacks to throw me off, and at first, I thought I was more drawn to their pasts, the lives they lived before the accident we knew little about. But as the episodes unfolded, I found myself just as invested in what had happened as I was in what was coming next. It surprised me how much I cared. It made perfect sense.

Prior to watching this I'd never heard of the book or had heard any advertising for the show so I didn't know what to expect.
Throughout the show viewers are left wondering was there foul play with Candace accident, was it a family member out for revenge, was it truly an accident? Although the show is quite slow, I enjoyed it most of the time. The acting was decent, the script was good, and love the messy family drama. Overall the show would be maybe a 5/10 until the ending.
The ending was something I would've never guessed, and I'm here for it. Not only do we get closure on Candace's accident, we're left with an introduction into a storyline that if it gets approved will answer many of the other questions brought up throughout the show.
Overall if you're looking for a good show to watch in your downtime that you don't have to pay super close attention too, this is the one!

This 8-part miniseries hit Prime streaming yesterday. My wife and I settled in and watched the first two episodes.
The biggest issue is nothing much happens in the first two episodes. The main character has an incident she doesn't remember at the end of episode one. Then most of episode two is flashing back and forward to understand why her family and friends reacted the way they did. And juveniles trying to sort out boy-girl issues. Sort of a teenage soap opera.
One reviewer wrote "flat, nonengaging", another wrote "lazy writing, lazy cast saying lazy lines." That pretty well captures this limited series. A story that might have been told well in a 90-minute movie is stretched to roughly 8 hours and the filmmakers expect us to devote all that time with just the HOPE that it will turn out entertaining and worthwhile.
Well, not for us. After giving it almost 24 hours to set in my wife and I both decided we had no interest in sticking with it.
However a week later I did watch the last episode just to see how they tried to tie things up. In fact I found it to be very interesting and I was surprised at what all had happened. I will go so far as to state, if a viewer doesn't want to spend 8 hours on the whole series then watching episodes 1, 2, and 8 can be pretty entertaining.
But one can tell, from the episode synopses provided by Prime for each episode, most of the filler time involves teenage soap-opera types of topics. That wasn't of much interest to us grandparents.
