The story follows a group of students under investigation following the death of their peer, but many suggested that the show didn’t remain as true to the novel as they would have hoped. One person wrote: "I don’t know if it’s me but #oneofusislying adaptation is really disappointing me. I adored the book and was so excited to see it on screen but I’m on episode 6 and they’ve changed so many things about the characters that is really hard for me to like it."

Another fan added: "I read the book (including the 2nd book) and I'm pretty disappointed with the vibes they're getting in this live adaptation. And not feeling all the chemistry in between the whole casts. Still, bingeing the series atm (got time to waste)."
