Just Fine
I don't really know what to think of this show because it's nothing like the book... I was really surprised that Sutton is still alive, EVERYONE knows where Thayer is, That Madeline's dad is actually friends with Sutton's dad, that Ethan's last name is "Whitehorse", that Ethan and Sutton were together, and that Thayer and Sutton did some "things" together. Overall its a pretty good show it would be way better if they kept it more like the book but whatever.

Great for mature teenagers
Good show. Some inappropriate stuff, but nothing that bad. You can watch it with your parents without feeling awkward. It's suspenseful, interesting, and fun. I'd recommend it.

Review for The Lying Game by Sara Shepard
I think that this show is the best! I tried watching it, and it's just so full of suspense and mystery. Of course, there are a few things that are inappropriate, but it is only implied and never shown. This show would be good for sturdy 12-year-olds and teens. Anyone 12 and over is appropriate.

Amazing and suspensful
This is my FAVORITE show right now and I HIGHLY recommend it to teens. I actually like the show more than the book. The twists and suspense are crazy and it leaves me at a cliff hanger and at the edge of my seat!!! There is not too much sexual content, nothing your teens can't handle.

The Lying Game
A great show. Kid friendly. Some making out , kissing, etc. Shows nothing bad, and i highly recommend it. Watch it first and see if you think it's a show you'd allow your kids to watch.

GREAT!
very good show! just know your child and what they can handle. most 12-13-14 year olds already are well aware of the stuff going on in high schoolers lives.

Overall Great Show!
The book and the show are very different and at first it really bothered me but the show turned out to be really good! I'm kinda obsessed with it now! Its definitely a great show however there is some inappropriate language and kissing! It is very spontaneous and will definitetly keep you guessing.

Pretty decent show
This show is pretty good. It isn't quite as good as its sister show, Pretty Little Liars, but I like it. The content is not that bad, and anyone around 12 and up should be fine.

If you can watch pretty little liars, this you definitely can. pretty little liars i say ages 12 and up, and the lying game is not as ad as pretty little liars.

Parents should watch first- but overall not too inaproprate
One character by the name of emma is a VERY good role model for teens. She sports good grades, kindness, and doesn't curse too much or sleep around. Her twin, Sutton, however is not a good role model for teens. She sleeps around, fails many classes, and is cruel to peoples faces at very harsh degrees. Other than that there are few sexual scenes and words such as b***h and h**l. The plot is very mysterious and exciting so it is overall based upon parental opinion whether their teen should watch the show or not.

Excellent!
The show is compelling and will keep you hooked. There is very mild violence. There is no sex only talk about sex. There is positive role models and positive messages through the seasons.
