Review – Liar Game
How incredibly awesome was this show? And it was the perfect length – at 12 episodes – not too long, not too short – just right. I had read a bad review of it and skipped watching it for a long time, but decided to check it out recently… and twelve hours later, this binge-inducing show had completely swept me off the planet and into an exciting world of intrigue and suspicion!
Plot in a nutshell – a new reality show tests people moral aptitudes and problem solving skills as they attempt to win money in increasingly difficult ways. This is a character driven show – and after a few games you are down to a small number of key players and you get a firm sense of their personalities, faults and strengths without the use of backstories or flashbacks (exception to the rule being the main three characters). What lines are they willing to cross for money? And is there a darker secret behind the show?
Overall Rating – 10/10. Manipulation Is A Group Sport!
More discussion and very mild spoilers follow (cause I don’t want to spoil the excitement!)….
