Lying Game... Pilot

The pilot starts with Emma, a sporty and independent teen who is in foster care. She's obviously unhappy about her situation, especially since the son of her foster parent is trying to take advantage of her.
Cut to Sutton, her identical twin who lives with her rich adopted family. Alexandra Chando plays both twins - a hard role to handle but one that she tackles well. Sutton and Emma have just found out about each other and are trying to find their biological parents.
When Emma's foster-brother sets her up as a thief, she takes off and makes a run to the only place she knows - Sutton's home. From there, things get crazy as Sutton tells Emma that they need to trade places so that Sutton can go follow a lead on their real parents. Sutton takes off to Los Angeles, leaving Emma to pretend that she's her twin.
Emma tries to fit in with Sutton's friends and family but everyone is surprised at how different Sutton is. The first day of school is especially tricky, as Emma tries to navigate this new social scene and has to play a tennis match against Sutton's rival. At the end of the match she catches Sutton's boyfriend making out with her rival.

Meanwhile, there's someone creepy hanging around Emma. It's the brooding guy from school, Ethan. When she confronts him though she finds out the truth - that Sutton has been secretly dating him this summer. Ethan's on to her and knows that she's not really Sutton.

At the end of the episode of The Lying Game the mystery grows as Emma is supposed to go meet Sutton in a mysterious cabin but Sutton doesn't turn up. A panicked Emma returns to the house to find that her bedroom has been broken into and her computer's been stolen. The pilot ends on the real Sutton in Los Angeles. She sits in a car waiting for someone; but when the door opens, she screams in fear. Quite a suspenseful ending.

The Lying Game series is worth the watch. The show is fun, suspenseful and dramatic. Plus, the wardrobe they have on all the girls is great! This should be a perfect match for fans of Pretty Little Liars. Especially because the books were both written by Sara Shepard. I've read all 9 of the Pretty Little Liars books. And I'm currently in the middle of The Lying Game. So far, it seems like a hit.
