Exploring themes of grief, secrecy, and confronting one's past, "Family of Liars" delves into Carrie's journey of self-discovery and redemption.

Summary of Cocktails with George and Martha by Philip Gefter:The Prequel to We Were Liars
Cocktails with George and Martha Edward Albee's 1966 movie, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" embarks on a nighttime journey of taunts and challenges, marked by intense peaks and tender moments. The film commences with the return of George and Martha, a married couple, after a late-night gathering. Martha, portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor, casually dismisses the event as a "DumP," before abruptly turning towards George, played by Richard Burton. Martha believes she's mimicking Bette Davis's performance in a "goddamn Warner Brothers epic," yet her delivery lacks Davis's usual precise enunciation; it's a fleeting remark, devoid of Hollywood diva flair. In the original 1962 stage production of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," actress Uta Hagen meticulously articulated the line, surpassing even Davis herself.
