Pretty Little Liars

I’m having withdrawals, Pretty Little Liars withdrawals. You see, season 5 ended last week and I can’t wait for summer to come so season 6 can begin. Therefore, it seemed like a good idea to talk about the show and get you all hooked on it.

I actually refused to watch Pretty Little Liars for the longest time because I thought it looked scary and I don’t do scary stuff. In reality, it’s more of a thriller with very tense moments that are balanced out by funny scenes and witty dialogue. The series follows the lives of four friends who start receiving threatening messages from an unknown person named A. As they try to deal with the situation, they realise the whole thing is connected to their friend Alison who went missing the year before and was later found dead. The show is quite unpredictable and likes to throw quite a few curveballs your way, but it all makes for great fun. All in all it’s an addicting show that will keep you in front of your screen for hours at a time, so best to start it on a weekend and be prepared to be thoroughly entertained.

Something I found quite special about the show is the chemistry between the cast members. Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale and Shay Mitchell actually feel like a real group of friends. They also capture the teenager spirit really well and it doesn’t look like grownups pretending to be teenage girls. The chemistry makes you care about them more and I think it’s one the reasons the show is so addictive, because you want to see what happens to them and you root for their success. Having said all of that, you can have a look for yourself and watch the trailer for the first season here.

And do you know what else, the fifth season of Pretty Little Liars comes out on DVD on June 2^nd which gives you enough to catch up on the first seasons and then be all caught up for the premiere of season 6. If DVDs aren’t your thing, you can also get it on iTunes and Netflix.
