You spoil your Prime Video subscription if you are missing this series adapted from an American bestseller

What is it talking about?

The rich family, apparently perfect, spends each summer on its private island off the coast of Massachusetts. But this year, something will happen for cadence, 15 years old.

Who is it with?

It is a fairly interesting distribution that Prime Video brought together with us liars. The platform chose the young Emily Alyn Lind, star of the Gossip Girl remake, to lend her features to cadence. The latter is one of the liars, a group of cousins ​​who spend all their summers together.

There is Gat (Shubham Maheshwari), Mirren (played by Esther McGregor, the daughter of Ewan McGregor) and Johnny, camped by Joseph Zada, the headliner of the next film Hunger Games. We also find in the bill the liars the actress Mamie Gummer (The daughter of Meryl Streep), Candice King (Vampire Diaries) and Rahul Kohli (The Haunting of).

Does that deserve the glance?

Prime Video is used to offering us beautiful summer entertainment and 2025 does not serve as an exception. This year, our attention is directed to us the liars, adaptation of the BastSeller d'E. Lockhart published in 2014.

Mixing on the paper between Cruel Summer – for the dose of mystery and the intrigue which takes place on two temporalities – and the summer when I became pretty (cousins ​​/ friends who find themselves every summer), this new event series has something to be talked about.

After a traumatic accident, Cadence has no memory of what happened during the summer of his 16 years. Back on the private island of her family, she will try to regain her memory but she is not likely to love the truth … What happened? Why do other liars avoid it from this incident? And what do his aunts and her grandparents hide?

It is a real family drama that is played out before our eyes, through the question of privilege, image and wealth. The series keeps us sufficiently in suspense to go after the 8 episodes. Because it is in the very last that the mystery finally unties. And the final revelation may take you at the guts.

The alchemy between the four actors and their performance in the last episode do justice to Lockhart's work. Those who have read the book and who know the outcome will still find their pleasure thanks to them. However, the series can be criticized for staying too much on the themes addressed in the novel and adding unnecessary secondary intrigues.

We can also blame us for liars for being too formatted: it may be a little too much like other productions “Young adults” of the platform when she had enough to stand out. But it is quite entertaining to be asked for the end of the 8 episodes.

We liars, 8 episodes to see on Prime Video.
