Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the naughtiest of them all? Even
when telling the smallest lie, it only leads to having to tell more lies to
cover that lie. In the new hit series Pretty
Little Liars, a teen mystery drama and thriller, there is five pretty girls
from Rosewood that demonstrate exactly how deep into trouble you can get
yourself by just telling one lie. They illustrate that by, telling that one lie
and display how it has lead them to having to tell a million more. This show is
based off of the books Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard, in which
originally started off as seven books but due to the success of the show,
expanded into 16 total books. This show is now broadcasted on ABC Family
worldwide.
The main cast of the show includes Troian Bellisario as Spencer
Hastings, Ashley Benson as Hanna Marin, Lucy Hale as Aria Montgomery, Shay
Mitchell as Emily Fields, and Sasha Pieterse as Alison DiLaurentis. In the
beginning of the series, which the first episode aired on June 8th,
2010, Alison goes missing and the four other friends are left behind to pick up
the missing pieces of their friends disappearance. Throughout the first three seasons
Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily believe that Alison is not only missing but is
dead. As a result to this they go on the hunt to try and figure out who has
taken and potentially killed Alison all while they are being blackmailed by
this mysterious unknown character that goes by A. Then during the fourth season
it is brought upon the girls that Alison is not dead, it was all just a cover
up. So their new goal from there was to find Alison and find out what really
happened the day she went "missing."
With that, by the end of season 4 they find her but are still on a
mission to find out who or what drove Alison to want to disappear and leave all
of her friends and family behind. Turns out Alison too was being blackmailed by
someone anonymous. The person or group of people that are blackmailing Spencer,
Aria, Emily, and Hannah are either the same person or same group of people that
is also blackmailing mailing Alison. But till this day it is still unknown of
who exactly it is. Also, as the season progresses Spencer, Aria, Emily, and
Hanna come to a consensus that they really cannot trust Alison or the things
she says because of her continuous lies to the cops and everyone else in Rosewood
about what had really happened the day she disappeared. She changes her stories
so many times that the girls are unsure of what is the truth and people are
constantly getting murdered by A in which terrifies the girls even more to
where they do not even want to be Ali’s friend anymore. Alison even makes the
four other girls have to tell lies in order to cover up her story.
The criteria that makes this show so successful is that it is so
suspenseful and has great quality. It catches your attention and draws you into
wanting more. At the end of every episode it will show A planning his or her
next sabotage on the girls to make their lives miserable as they continue to
look for an answer to who is behind on the A game. This creates mystery but at
the same time a thrill of excitement to want to watch the next episode to find
out what is going to happen. There is never a dull moment in this show which
makes it so fantastic. The behind the scenes crew of the show do a fantastic
job also in helping to follow the criteria. They make sure the makeup is well
done and that everything looks real. The producer make one thing seem like
another. For example, they will draw your attention to one person giving you
hints that make you think that person is A, and it is not. This keeps things
moving and keeps things changing so that viewers do not get worn-out or bored
to death of watching.
In conclusion, Pretty Little Liars has become a global
success. Based off of the criteria given, it shows exactly why I would recommend
for everyone to watch. It has a plot like no other and is still currently an
ongoing triumph which makes it even more tempting to join in on the A game
while you can. The only downfall of this is that Lucy Hale stated that
"season seven will be our last season." Therefore, with that being
said, there will only be two more seasons and season 6 starts in January, 2015.
Do not miss the chance to enjoy a rather ravishing show as they finish up there
series and reveal who A is.
