    As a teenager, I find it catchy and interesting. I think the fact that it has a mix of genres makes it different.

    This is from a teen's perspective, but I really like this show. I am aware that it's not the most unique or has the best plot, but I thought it was perfect for teenagers who like drama. It annoyed my mom, but I know it's a show for 13-18 year olds specifically, and not for the adult crowd.

    I love Pretty Little Liars so much. Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hanna are so awesome. I love this show so much that i look forward to Tuesday's so much. All the episodes are amazing. Some are creepy, some are brilliant and some are both. Pretty Little Liars is my all time favorite show in the world.

    The acting is bad and these characters are not that likable, but it's hard not to get sucked into the drama. I'm curious to find out who A is. Also, it's sort of fun to see these girls have their lives torn apart. It's cruel to say but oh well.

    One of my all time favorite shows on TV! Great acting, great story line, plenty of mystery, and constant twists and turns that keep you wanting more! The writers are brilliant and know how to answer your questions but give you more questions at the same time! It never gets dull or boring and keeps you guessing. You may think you know but you never really do!

    A show about sex, murder, and drama on "ABC Family" equates to a horrible fail. "Pretty Little Liars" is poorly acted, clichéd mess with unlikeable characters and a ridiculous concept.

That said, the story is somewhat interesting (when I wasn't asleep, my girlfriend kept trying to explain it to me), but the characters fall short of being interesting or even remotely salvageable in character. If there is any kind of retribution and rebirth type of narrative in the coming seasons, I imagine it will fall short of being even slightly sincere. In brief, there are no likable characters, the narrative is spotty and confusing, however, the show serves its purpose in that it only relates any kind of interesting story or characterization to girls between the ages of 14 and 18.… Expand

    I hate all the characters. Nobody to "cheer" for .. wish they'd all get "killed off." LOL. That this show is on ABC "Family" is laughable. Should be on HBO with its cavalier attitude toward sex and "making drama." NONE of the characters is a good rolemodel for ANYONE, let alone young, impressionable teens.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've watched 7 of the first 10 episodes of PLL, and I must say, they are riveting and provocative, but too much is going on. There are usually four storylines in one episode, a long with Aria's parental drama, taunting from "A", and trying to keep their lives from unraveling. However, some of the storylines that are meant to be realistic just...arent. Like why is Spencer in a rivalry with her twenty something sister over a boy neither one of them wants anymore and a paper written 6 years ago? Why is Aria so critical of her father's affair with a student, when she is also messing around with her teacher? Why does Hannah steal something every other episode and is unwilling to handle some of the consequences? And is the whole lesbian thingy just a ratings gamble or a true character trait of Emily? And I've got to ask - who CARES about Toby and Jenna? Their roles are given a little too much prominence. All in all, PLL is the summer's guiltiest pleasure, and the serial format has treated the show well. The show has given ABC Family its strongest ratings across all demos. I want to see how it will perform in the Winter against vets that will surely cut this little teenage whodunnit down.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretty Little Liars is actually a surprisingly good show... as long as you can appreciate the camp of it. It follows four teenagers as they attempt to discover who murdered their friend, as well as who is stalking them and sending them threatening messages. The show can be borderline disturbing at some points but only if you actually think about what's happening to these girls. It's much better than the book series that it's based on and the characters are likable and relatable. One of the surprising gems of the show is the character of Toby who starts out as a creepy, and somewhat unlikable force, but ends up being one of the most interesting, and sympathetic characters. The show is very campy and there are a lot of unintentionally hilarious moments, but that's part of the appeal. This show isn't House M.D or Dexter and it doesn't try to be. It's a fun show, that goes beyond the average summer programming to be surprisingly good. It's easy to get hooked on. The one aspect of this show that is actually not entertaining is the student/teacher relationship between Ezra and Aria. I watched the show online and found myself skipping their scene halfway through the season because they were so unbearable. Thankfully the writers show that they are able to write a decent romance plot when they bring to the forefront any one of Spencer's relationships but in particular her relationship with Toby which deserves recognition for being the most real on the show. All in all Pretty Little Liars is a show that I'd recommend to anybody for some unintentionally hilarious moments, but also for some surprisingly well written, and touching moments which bring this show out of guilty pleasure range to make it simply a good show… Expand

    What Pretty Little Liars lacks in originality, it makes up for in how deliciously wicked it is... This guilty pleasure is just that and should be regarded as such. Pretty Little Liars, or Gossip Girl for the class of 2011-2013 is a fun show and is definitely the guilty pleasure of the summer. Not really innovative but there is something comforting about familiar territory.

    The first two seasons were pretty decent and kept my interest. But now half way through season 3, I couldnt care less. How long can they keep this "mystery" going, it seems like each episode you find a minor piece of evidence then the rest is just over dramatic teen stuff. They really need to have a stellar final half of season 3, if im going to come back to the already confirmed season 4.

Based on the novels by Sara Shepard, this show consists of sweet suspense filled with drama, romance, action, and mystery! The four 16 year old girls reunite after the death of their friend and undergo a mission to discover who, or what, has brought them back together again. Their friendship revolves around their friend, Alison, and they face their challenges together, even though secrets are entitled to each individual alone. The mysterious mission to figure out who is watching their every move is sure to have viewers coming back for more! The show teaches a lesson, as well as provides fun entertainment. As the girls start to remember events from the night Alison went missing, it is up to them to tell somebody and risk their life, or keep is secret and obey the texts they receive from "A." When the girls meet new people and start to feel good about their lives, "A" makes sure that the feeling doesn't last by messaging another threat. The dark suspense of the mystery can be frightening, but it is worth watching! The actresses are definitely a strength of the show as their bond as characters is incredible! The only weakness is how they drag the series on and at times do not seem to accomplish much. Overall it is a fun tv show that provides entertainment despite the weakness of its length. The drama allows viewers to create their own perception of what should happen next and leaves room for imagination! I am still coming back for more after 40 episodes. The romance that occurs within the anticipation serves as a great relaxer for the viewers. The series is continuous but extremely unpredictable which is what sets it apart from other shows. If you like a good adrenaline rush from the penetrating suspensful drama, this show is perfect for you! Even though it sounds as if it is a show for women, that is definitely not the case! I got my younger brother hooked on watching it with me after one episode. The suspense, drama secrets, and action never get old and it is sure to only get better as a the series continues!… Expand

I thought its going to be like holiday or friends program, then after I've watched the episode 1 on season 1 I just realised that it's like horror and threatening show, I haven't still read the novel and I will read the novel after I have finished doing my exams, hopefully. PLL, it's just like The Lying Game. (I'll be talking about the TLG after).

    After I have watched the Season 1, at the first I thought Toby was the 'A' victim but I was wrong, the only think I thought about Toby it's how he looks at the girls and it looked like he was up to something and trying to threaten them after Alison did to him. After Emily was talking to him because she wants to know Jenna, how she's doing, and he wanted to interact with her, but Emily didn't want to. After when she refused not to talk to Toby, I really felt sorry for him.

    In the beginning I knew how Maya was up to and I knew there was something wrong about her, after when she found Alison body. She wanted to know how they feel and how she wants to threatened them after she found the body especially Emily, I felt sorry for her as well.

    'A' Anonymous shouldn't had send the letter to Aria's mum about her father had an affair with a student, where he thought her. It it because, it would make it soo interesting while her mum finds out by herself and she can do whatever she wants.

    I can't believe it Ian was part of 'A' he acted so innocent but after seeing his face on the TV I knew that he was up to something. I think he wanted a revenge on Melisa but I didn't like how Melisa treated Spencer.

    I so adore Ezra and Aria, they both suit together, but aria shouldn't had met Ezra in the beginning and she should have known that Ezra is her teacher. (how hot does Ian Harding is, I had to say!).

    I am so glad that Ian is dead but Jenna should have died instead of Ian it is because Jenna treats them really badly, it wasn't Aria, Spencer, Hannah and Emily fault, she should've blamed on Alison. Everybody knows how Alison treats to other people, she is horrible person to the. She doesn't had done anything like that! blackmailing to everyone and threatening to other people.

    What would you do if you had a friend like Alison?

    Would you tell the police if she's threatening you something you shouldn't had done anything or will you threaten them back? I would if i had a friend like Alison, I wouldn't tell anyone about my family business a matters.    … Expand

In my opinion the actors and actresses are also very good, they make it come alive. I have nothing but positive things to say about it! So I can really recommend, especially it if you like a little bit of drama now and then.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “Pretty Little Liars” is a current monument that stands tall in teen culture, and with its recent release on Netflix, its only going to continue to grow. The basis of the plotline surrounds a group of four friends: Hanna (Ashley Benson), Spencer (Troian Bellisario), Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Aria (Lucy Hale), who are the victims of a sinister stalker using the pseudonym of “A”, whom started targeting them after the disappearance of their former ring leader, Alison (Sasha Pieterse) – think Gossip Girl meets Mean Girls.
    Despite this plot line being targeted at teenage girls, after being tricked into watching one episode with my 16-year old sister, I a 20-year old male found myself hooked within the space of approximately 45 minutes. The main reason for my new found addiction was largely due to the mystery surrounding this “A” figure, and how a girl who is presumed to be dead, Alison, can continue to haunt her former friends’ lives. PLL has an enormous fan base, with the show attracting audiences of approximately over 2 million with each episode. Recently the show was released on Netflix, meaning it will now be available to even more teenage girls, and men, who are more than likely to find themselves addicted too.
    The four main characters in the show: Emily, Aria, Spencer and Hanna, are all extremely different to each other, but their bond is shown to be unbreakable. Emily (Shay Mitchell) is a gay character, which in the first series struggles to come to terms with this, and also has to try and tell her extremely judgemental mother that she is gay. Emily is actually my favourite character and I believe that she is too often overlooked. Shay Mitchell delivers an extremely well performance of Emily in every single episode, pushing me to pretty much fall in love with her. Emily is seen to be the weakest of the four girls, but as the series progresses, I believe she becomes the strongest, especially as she gets put through the worst of “A’s” sinister games.
    Aria (Lucy Hale) is more of the quirky character, at the start of series 1 she has just returned from a year in Iceland. She is shown to be more edgier than the rest of girls, but also very loyal. Aria’s main struggle throughout the series is the relationship in which she embarks upon with her English teacher, Ezra Fitz and preventing “A” from sharing the details of this relationship with the world. Aria is my least favourite of the girls; I found many of her decisions to be selfish and also immature – something that could be seen as playing with fire due to danger she is putting Ezra in, the poor chap is at risk of losing his livelihood and being sent to jail if found out to be engaging in what would be seen as an inappropriate relationship with a student.
    Spencer (Troian Bellisario) and Hanna (Ashley Benson) both are incredible characters, Spencer comes from a family of overachievers and is shown to struggle to try and move out of her older sister’s shadow and into the spot light. Troian’s performance of Spencer is exceptional, some of the scenes in series 3 would not have been as powerful as they were had someone else been portraying Spencer. Hanna is a character who was once overweight, the group’s former ringleader is shown in flashbacks to have made snide comments about Hanna’s weight, however in the present she has lost the weight and is seen as one of the most popular girls in school. Ashley Benson’s portrayal of Hannah earned her roles in box office hits such as Springbreakers, highlighting just how captivating it is. However one critique I have of this role is that Hanna is shown to have gained her popularity through losing weight – in a society where body image is a very difficult topic to address, I feel like this was a maybe a bad move by the writers of the show, but then again the show did premier a couple of years before social media became such a powerful force and Twitter wasn’t so popular.
    The Liars, as the group is referred to, all work together and try to figure out who “A” is and what happened to their friend Alison. Over the course of the show, despite the occasional falling out, the Liars are shown to build the bond they share into an unbreakable one – perhaps this is why the programme has managed to capture the hearts of teenage girls around the world: it portrays four beautiful girls who have a friendship that no one can break, not even a crazy stalker who impersonates their presumed dead friend.
    Another reason for the shows success is that it actually can be quite scary, many times over the past 7 days when I have been feeding this addiction I have actually felt like someone was watching me due to creepy scenes in the show. If its not scenes of the hooded figure playing with dolls in a room full of pictures of the four Liars, then it usually the creepy messages the stalker leaves once he has managed to break into one of the girl’s houses.
    Overall, PLL had me so addicted that I managed to watch series 1-4 within the space of 10 days.    … Expand

She makes a super snarky comment, alludes to a boy, then they all fall asleep. One wakes up to find two are missing. One Bestie comes back, declaring the Queen Bestie is nowhere to be found, but she says… dramatically… “I think I heard her scream.”

    The group of insufferably attractive and well off “teenagers” (played by adults) struggle to deal with the disappearance of Queen Bestie. They all have teenage girl secrets that consist almost entirely of who is and isn’t kissing who. Someone is pestering them, threatening to reveal their secrets, signing off with Queen Bestie’s initials. Who is dead. I guess if I was 15 I would relate to them and their “terrible” situations. But I’m not and I hate them all.

    I've read the Pretty Little Liars' books and I must say that is one hell of a series. It's kinda long and just goes in full circle. A lot of twists, YES. I've only had the time to watch the series up to season 5 and I have yet to watch the 6th season. The first episodes got me hooked and yeah until now I'm still watching this series. Too bad it'll end on season 7.

    I think reviewers are very stupid, saying it's like Twilight because it's NOT. The actors can actually ACT in this, and it's proper dark and scary at times. So lay off.

    Apesar de ser uma cópia barata da serie de TV Twin Peaks (1990-1991), é cativante e tem um suspense de tirar o folego. O piloto não é as mil maravilhas, mas ao longo da temporada a história vai ganhando mais detalhes e fica impossível de não conferir as outras temporadas.

    The first 3 seasons are awesome. Fourth and fifth season are completely irrelevant. Sixth and seventh season finally shows us some answers but it stills a nonsense series with good looking actors.

They go throw horrible events such as being kidnapped, almost killed and sometimes betrayed by their own family members. There is also love and other regular teenage things that get complicated when *A* gets involved. This show always has me on the edge of my seat and has blown my mind so many times. When you think you've figured it all out the shows drops a huge plot twist that you never saw coming. I think the actress and actors are amazing and portrays their roles well. Of course many things happen that I don't agree with but all the good and exciting outweighs the bad. I just wish the amount of people dying was lower.… Expand

    A horrifically acted, written and directed piece of teen drama, full of all the things cringeworthy- teen angst, plot holes, soap and overdone cliches. The worst show on television, and I am so grateful to be rid of it next year

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretty much boring. The topic hasn't changed a bit throughout the seven seasons, it's still full of embarrassing relationships, conversations that leads nowhere and false accusations. I don't know why I keep watching it. It's most likely because I've already spent so much time on it that I need to know the ending but I am not a fan. Actors aren't that great either and storyline isn't worth it after two/three seasons. With catching Mona in season 2 they should have ended it. That would have been pleasing.… Expand

    This is a series with no redemptive value. It barely qualifies as entertainment, but sexy summer trash will always find an audience. That's the inescapable truth at the heart of Pretty Little Liars.

    The ridiculously expensive wardrobes, the fabulous hair and makeup, plus a high school with not a single fatty is well, yes, the stuff of teen fantasy. And that is exactly what Pretty Little Liars is: a glamorous, spooky, adolescent fantasy.
