One Of Us Is Lying (2021–2022)
2/10
Why change a great thing?

Warning: Spoilers
One of Us Is Lying is the laziest written show I may have ever seen. I tried to give it a chance but the amount of changes were too drastic to handle. Not to mention they got rid of Louis, Ashton, and Eli.

The cast was awful. I didn't like any of them. Addy's character had no redemption since she just went back to her "controlling" boyfriend. Bronwyn honestly annoyed me and her acting was mediocre. Cooper had so much anger that never made sense. And Nate was just a huge disappointment. Not to mention the relationship between the four was disjointed.

Maeve and Janae were terrible as well.

I actually really liked Jake unlike in the book. He didn't seem controlling at all and have any capabilities of being a psychopath. This is where this show has a problem of telling not showing.

And that ending was awful. Jake getting shot and Simon didn't want to kill himself? I literally laughed out loud when the evidence was on an XBOX. Are you serious?! The book is genius compared to this awful show.

I believe they should remake this with actually using the book this time.

My question is: if there's a book out there with every bit of detail mapped out for you, then why don't you use it?
