![]() The group, dubbed as The Bayview Four (and later on Murder Club), find themselves as the prime suspects in a homicide investigation when the school’s notorious Gossip Boy Simon Kelleher (Mark McKenna) dies after drinking from a cup laced with peanut oil, triggering his deadly allergy. However, One of Us Is Lying’s attempt at blending emotionally-driven YA stories with intense murder mystery doesn’t quite hit the mark.īased on Karen McMamus’s 2017 novel of the same name, Peacock’s One of Us Is Lying follows characters Bronwyn Rojas (Marianly Tejada), Addy Prentiss (Annalisa Cochrane), Nate Macauley (Cooper van Grootel), and Cooper Clay (Chibuikem Uche), who all embody tropes taken straight out of The Breakfast Club (the brain, the beauty, the bad boy, and the jock). Where characters, plotlines, and dialogue are hopelessly entertaining, but also at times ridiculous, and reminiscent of an era of soapy television that feels easy on the brain. In a world where so much of TV can feel rather heavy or bleak, it’s nice to escape into a silly little teen drama. ![]()
