“We Were Liars” is the top show on Amazon Prime Video right now, according to the platform’s public ranking system.
Based on E. Lockhart’s best-selling 2014 book of the same name, the series follows Cadence Sinclair (Emily Alyn Lind) and her tight-knit inner circle, the Liars, during a picturesque summer on her grandfather’s New England private island. All is perfect with the Sinclair family until a mysterious accident that Cadence can’t remember changes her life forever — that’s when the Liars start to live up to their name.
The eight-episode drama debuted on Prime Video on June 18. In addition to Lind, it also stars Shubham Maheshwari, Esther McGregor, Joseph Zada, Caitlin FitzGerald, Mamie Gummer, Candice King, Rahul Kohli and David Morse.
