Why is this show finding an audience in India?
Besides the obvious reasons above, there are some other pointers we’d like to add as to why the show has been hitting numbers in India.
• The sound-track is so good, ranging from Harry Style compositions to lesser known musicians: the show has it all.
• It’s a given that the cast of a show can make it or break it. One of us is Lying boasts of a cast that’s not only attractive enough, but can also..can act. Even the supporting cast is SOLID.
• The twists..there are like so many twists, you can never predict all of them even if you’ve read the book. That’s Great!
• A bit of Romance as well..There’s a small romantic track if too much of mystery has been working up with your mind. Perfect!
• A cliffhanger ending!! Simply put, the finale of a show decides it’s fate. A cliffhanger ending makes it all the more exciting. Remember Squid Game? One of us is Lying would definitely make you go ” What was that?? ” as it ends.
