Season 1 Review: As with “Pretty Little Liars,” the viewer knows no more than the characters. And as with “PLL,” it should be fun finding out. Read full review

Season 1 Review: By the end of Episode 1, Twisted has imbedded its hook with open questions about a mysterious necklace and Danny’s connection to its past. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As long as that emotional content isn't overpowered by the central mystery, Twisted could prove to be another worthy summer sudser for ABC Family. Read full review

PopMattersDorothy Burk VasquezJun 11, 2013
Season 1 Review: Twisted combines a handful of stereotypical ideas about romanticized teenage criminals with fresh perspectives on how humans understand or fear one another under intense stress. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A cynic might think Twisted is a bald attempt to capitalize on the success of "Pretty Little Liars" while possibly adding a Y chromosome to the mix. The non-cynic might see in Danny yet another metaphor for the alienation and "otherness" many teens feel. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyTanner StranskyJun 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: Twisted takes a somewhat delicate subject and layers on ABC Family cheesiness rather thick, resulting in a series with a flippant, uneven tone. [14 Jun 2013, p.87]
