I really liked We Were Liars, now streaming on Amazon Prime in a tight and bingeable eight-episode season. It had a moody, mysterious vibe that pulled me in right from the start. This young adult psychological thriller is based on the best-selling novel by E. Lockhart and brings the story to life with haunting visuals and…
