We Were Liars is a psychological thriller drama that focuses on the wealthy, dysfunctional Sinclair family. It follows teenager Cadence Sinclair, who returns to her family’s private island after an unexplained accident caused by amnesia. She attempts to uncover dark secrets about her friends, family, and her past. This show is set to take place in the modern-day Beechwood Island, which is a private island near Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. Some of the main characters in the show are Emily Alyn Lind as Cadence, Caitlin FitzGerald as Penny Sinclair, Mamie Gummer as Carrie Sinclair, Candice King as Bess Sinclair, Rahul Kohli as Ed Patil, Esther McGregor as Mirren Sinclair Sheffield, Joseph Zada as Johnny Sinclair Dennis, David Morse as Harris Sinclair, and Dempsey Bryk as Ebon.
The show back and forth between past and present, trying to piece together what really happened the last time they were at the island. In the end, there is a twist that no one can predict. What makes this show so bingeable is the unexpected twists and turns that keep you glued to your seat to see what happens next. This show left me sitting, staring at a blank wall, thinking about what just happened.
I think this show is worth watching. You can either watch it in multiple sittings or be like me and watch it from start to finish within two days. I really enjoy shows with mystery and trying to solve what happened before it is revealed. If I could watch this show for the first time again, I would. If you are wondering what you should watch next, I would highly recommend We Were Liars.
