Created and written by BAFTA- and Golden Globe-nominated producers and screenwriters Harry and Jack Williams, and featuring "Downton Abbey" star Joanne Froggatt and "Fantastic Four" actor Ioan Guffard, "Liar" tells the story of two people whose initial attraction leads to far-reaching consequences for them and their friends and families. Laura Nielson, a smart and capable teacher in the middle of a breakup, is set up on a date with recently widowed surgeon Andrew Earlham. However, the day after it is apparent that something has gone wrong, and the subsequent fallout rapidly spirals out of control, exposing the power of truth, deception and trust.

Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 04/07/2020
3/5
This series was told almost entirely in flashbacks and plotty pyrotechnics that lacked the first run's emotional kidney punches, getting almost as bogged down as the two protagonists did at the close. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 03/05/2020

3.5/5
At once vulnerable and pitiable yet steely and annoying, [Joanne Froggatt] gets to sink her teeth even more into a divisive, resilient and empowering female character. Go to Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) 03/09/2020
Whereas the first series was genuinely captivating in its premise of one person's word against another, this seems set to rely on whether the police can catch someone out on a lie. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mia K @RT66373924 08/28/2024 Offensively bad! Atrocious plot, ridiculous acting, and scenarios that are too ludicrous to follow, let alone elicit any "thrill". If I were feeling generous, I'd give season 1 three stars and season 2 a big far zero. It's just too absurdly unrealistic and awful you almost feel offended that the producers thought you'd like it. if Stephen Segal wrote a show like EastEnders and it wasn't satirical, this would be it. See more Simon S @RT35592832 02/12/2024 Really gripping - ignore the bad reviews; we loved it! See more maria a @MimiLaMala 06/05/2022 Unfortunately they ruined it. They took it in a weird direction with all sorts of plot twists that don't really feel that exciting, new characters that we don't care about, and the lead character being put on a mission that doesn't feel credible. A pity, really. See more Polly T @PollyT 04/23/2020 Hard to follow with all the flash backs, constantly back and forth in time. Stupid ending. See more 04/08/2020 Series 2 was total rubbish from start to finish - far fetched, terrible script and some bad acting - kept thinking it might get better but sadly it got worse.
