Murder mystery series leaves viewers 'devastated and traumatised' - as they sob 'I've never cried so much at a TV show' after 'gut-wrenching' ending
A new murder mystery series has left viewers 'traumatised' and sobbing after its 'gut-wrenching' ending. Streaming fans have been binge watching the new show, despite it having a modest 60% Rotten Tomatoes score with critics. Called We Were Liars, the show is set in the fictional idyllic Beechwood Island and centres around 17-year-old Cadence Sinclair. A year previously the teenager was involved in a mysterious accident that left her with amnesia. However, after being left for dead, nobody will speak about the accident as Cadence is left without answers. We Were Liars is based on a series of novels by American writer E. Lockhart, with the first book released in 2014. In a disturbing trailer for the Prime Video series, which landed on the platform last month, Cadence sets the tone with a gripping voiceover. Played by actress Emily Alyn Lind, she says: 'Once upon a time, there was a mythical land where it was always summer. We were happy, we wanted for nothing.' It continues: 'Something terrible happened last summer and no one will tell me what. 'When you're left for dead, you want answers.' While MailOnline has chosen not to spoil the shock ending, Cadence is left bewildered when she eventually learns the truth. The eight-episode drama left viewers 'traumatised' as they sobbed at their screens before flooding social media with comments. One upset fan said: 'I started #WeWereLiars think it was like a Nancy Drew mystery sort of show. But no. 'Do not watch this show. It is not worth the psychological trauma. I am broken. I've never cried so much to a TV show.' In a disturbing trailer for the Prime Video series, which landed on the platform last month, Cadence sets the tone with a gripping voiceover Another chimed in: 'No one told me #wewereliars was the most devastating f***ing plot I've ever seen and heard in my life.' 'We Were Liars is the saddest thing I've ever laid my eyes on I literally can't recover,' said a third viewer. While a fourth penned: 'WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT???? I was not expecting a fun little summer show about teenagers to be so devastating???' We Were Liars also stars Shubham Maheshwari, Candice King, David Morse, Rahul Kohli and Wendy Crewson. Meanwhile, a critically acclaimed drama starring two Hollywood legends has finally landed on Netflix this month following rave reviews. The hit show made its debut in 2022 and has bagged itself an impressive 94% Rotten Tomatoes score thanks to its stellar cast and script. 1923 stars Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford lead the series, which is a prequel to smash-hit drama Yellowstone. Helen, 79, plays Cara Dutton, the matriarch of the Dutton family, with Harrison, 82, playing her husband and Patriarch of the clan. While it originally streamed on Paramount+, 1923 has now landed on Netflix, with the first series available to binge-watch.
