Pick of the Day
We Were Liars, Prime Video

It's a familiar premise these days: things go bad for outrageiously wealthy people.
We Were Liars follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her tight-knit inner circle, nicknamed the Liars, during their summer escapades on her grandfather's New England private island.
The Sinclairs are American royalty - known for their good looks, old money, and enviable bond - but after a mysterious accident changes Cadence's life forever, everyone, including her beloved Liars, seems to have something to hide.
The cast includes Emily Alyn Lind as Cadence Sinclair Eastman, Caitlin FitzGerald and Mamie Gummer.
