What's the Story?

LOVERS AND LIARS, hosted by Nikki Glaser, follows three men who are looking for authentic love and connection on an island. They're joined by 24 women; half are "nice girls" in search of love, and the other half are "FGirls," who are only there to get the $100,000 prize if they're able to manipulate the men into choosing them. On the island the men must spend time dating the women and informing each other to make sure they don't end up choosing the FGirl.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 1 ):
Kids say : Not yet rated

This series is a playful, gender-swapped twist in the dating show genre. Lovers and Liars cheekily explores women who are serious about relationships, and women serious about money. Much like its sister series, FBoy Island, there's a compelling twist of finding out who's there for love, and who's there to deceive for the prize. Despite that, the show is still a standard dating show that doesn't take itself too seriously. The sexual content, language, and drinking make this suitable for teens.
