How to watch 'We Were Liars' online - Stream the 8-episode psychological thriller

Believed to be the first in a trilogy, this season of "We Were Liars" is quite faithful to E. Lockhart's best selling book but does that mean that the twist - if there is one - is already out there?

Below, we reveal where to watch “We Were Liars” online and from anywhere with a VPN.

It might do but then that would be telling and if you haven't read the book it doesn't matter anyway. All you need to know is that 17 year old Cadence Sinclair Eastman (played by Emily Alyn Lind) has lost her memory after a serious accident but has a strange feeling, as the pieces fall into place, that something truly dreadful has happened.

'The Liars' of the title refers to her tight-knit inner-circle - Penny Sinclair (Caitlin Fitzgerald), Jonny Sinclair (Joseph Zada) and Gat Patil (Shubham Maheshwari) - who hung out on Cadence's grandfather's private island but now they all seem to be hiding something. But what is it? And does Cadence really want to find out?

Below is our full guide to how to watch “We Were Liars” online with an Amazon Prime Video 30-day FREE trial.
