Anyone watching? I enjoyed the book. It’s off to a slow start but I’m watching with someone who knows nothing about it, so I feel like we have to stick it out. I’m always a sucker for shows about rich people in the Hamptons. |
Started watching last night. Enjoying it so far. There are so many blondes that it is hard to tell them apart. The scenery looks gorgeous. |
Haha, yes! I have no idea whose kid is whose so far. |
Same just started. Don't know why all the daughters are "Sinclairs" when they are all married and who's who like the PP. Also a sucker for gorgeous beach especially the interiors. This one is supposed to be MV, not the Hamptons? |
Yes, it is supposed to be MV |
I just finished. It got better as it went, IMO. I could have done without the constant voiceovers. The main character was the little girl version of the main character in the show Revenge, which I loved back in the day. |
Part of that twist was THE one thing I cannot stand and systematically avoid. Hated everyone after. |
One of the Liars is Ewan Mcgregors daughter. |
I had no idea the novel had been made into a series until I saw this thread: thank you!
As an English teacher, I discovered this novel a few years ago when my students recommended it. I loved it: the best twist in YA literature I've ever seen, plus beautifully written in a simple, spare style that is so difficult to achieve, but so accessible. Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this series on my radar! |
Just finished it and knew nothing about it going in. I was surprised to be surprised by the twist. Now off to find another show about dysfunctional rich people… |
It’s really bugging me that it was so obviously not filmed in MV with all those evergreen trees everywhere. |
I haven’t seen the show yet, but MV has evergreens. Manuel F. Correllus State Forest in MV is filled with them and a bike path runs right along side it. |
They're still part of the Sinclair family, even if they got married. Like all the kids are Sinclairs, even though they're Cadence Sinclair Eastman or whatever. I did, however, find it really weird that anyone (particularly a British person) would name their kid Gatwick. |
Finished it...thought it was a good low- brow binge. |
The lairs have the worst hair! The color and the hairstyles. I realize they are on their private family island and running around wild, but…. |
