Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but a lukewarm 7.2 out of 10 from audiences and a small audience held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Lost or Sugar, start here.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two.
What might put you off: Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.

One year after a mysterious accident left her with amnesia, 17-year-old Cadence returns to Beechwood, an island off Martha's Vineyard, seeking answers. As three generations of the distinguished Sinclair family gather at their private summer utopia, no one will talk about the accident – neither her childhood friends "The Liars" nor her first love Gat, forcing her to uncover the truth herself.
