    Hi guys-

    ABC have a new TV series which premiered last night- entitled 'The Lying Game'

    Should be interesting to watch!


    Synopsis from IMDb here

    The show follows Emma (Chando), a kind-hearted foster kid who cant catch a break. She finds out she has an identical twin sister, Sutton (also played by Chando), who unlike Emma was adopted by wealthy parents and is seemingly living an ideal life. After their initial meeting, Sutton talks Emma into stepping into her life for a few days while she pursues a lead on their birth mother. Initially excited to do this favor for her sister, Emma soon learns that Sutton has gone missing and could be in trouble. Now, Emma must decide whether to come clean to Suttons family and risk her own safety in the hope of uncovering her twin sisters true whereabouts, along with the truth about why they were separated in the first place.

    The only issue I have with it is that it's not actually airing on ABC, it's an ABC family production. Their most famous productions being The Secret Life on an American Teenager and Greek, I was not a fan of either as they were both a little too PG for me. At the end of the day I think that shows about young adults need too be a little more risqué than that. They were the antedote to Gossip Girl and all the scandal that that created when it first came out. It can all end up being a little seventh heaven-y ( the latter years) for lack of a better description. They do however have pretty little liars which is far from the worst thing on TV at the moment. It all depends on the showrunner really. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking. It's a pity that the CW didnt pick it up, seems like a good premise and they usually do a good job with these sorts of things.
