Adapting books for television can be challenging, but Prime Video’s series “We Were Liars,” based on E. Lockhart’s 2014 novel, successfully captures its essence and has already earned a Season 2 renewal. The show follows teenagers Cadence “Cady” Sinclair Eastman and her cousins as they confront family secrets and privilege during their summer at Beechwood, a private island. The narrative shifts between two timelines, revealing a tragic event that leaves Cady with amnesia. With strong performances and a compelling twist, “We Were Liars” is a binge-worthy psychological drama that explores themes of wealth and generational trauma.
