Pretty Little Liars






Since three TV series that I avidly watch has been cancelled (Heroes, Legend of the seeker and Flashforward), I have been searching for a new show to patronize. I came across this new series called Pretty Little Liars. At first I was hesitant to watch the series because it seems like another show which only teenage girls would enjoy. But after watching the first episode, I got really interested.

The series is about four teenager girls - Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin, Aria Montgomery and Emily Fields - whose group fell apart after their leader, Alison Dilaurentis, went missing. A year later, the four girls live separate lives with different set of friends. The four friends re-established their friendship after an anonymous person - A - started sending message and threatening them of revealing their deep dark secrets. They assumed that A is their missing friend Allison since the mysterious sender knows secrets only Alison Knew. Not long after Police found Alison's dead body which deepens the mystery.

Flashbacks from the day Alison went missing revealed Alison saw somebody peeping through their window. She suspected that it was an outcast from their school (Toby) was the one peeping. Alison being the leader of the group decided to get revenge by lighting a firecracker inside Toby's garage. The four girls were hesitant but Alison decided to pull through with her plans. Alison did not know that Toby's sister Jenna was inside the garage when she decided to pull the prank. Jenna lost her eyesight due to the incident. A year after the prank, Jenna and Toby was seen in Alison's funeral. They suspected that Jenna or her brother is A getting their revenge for Jenna's blindness. They are puzzled though and wonder how anybody beside Alison knows their secrets. They also theorize that it is either Alison's haunting them or she might be actually alive. My guess is that Alison might have a diary or journal that has all their secrets. That is just my theory though.

The thing that I like about the series is that the mystery will get you hooked. I don't know whether there is supernatural things involve or A is just a stalker of the four girls. I really thought that it is another story about a teenager's high school life but it is more than that. It would really make you think who A is. I the series goes well, I might get a book copy of the series tot compare it with the TV series.
