Hey guys! If you hadn't watch the T.V. Show or read the books I wouldn't suggest reading this. There may be some spoilers!
I thought that I would do something a little bit different today. I want to tell you about my Love/Hate Relationship with Pretty Little Liars and see if any of you feel the same way that I do. A lot of you probably know what Pretty Little Liars is. There is a hit T.V. show on ABC Family and the best selling book series by Sara Shepard. The T.V. show started the summer of 2010. I knew that there was a popular book series, but hadn't got the chance to read them yet. I remember watching the first couple episodes and loving it so much! The whole concept was interesting and I liked the whole idea of A. My friends and I would always talk about who are favorite pretty little liar was (mine is Hanna) and who we thought A. is. We would get so frustrated at times that we even looked it up on Wikipedia to see who A. was in the books even though we hadn't read them. Then there was a statement that the T.V. show would be different from the books. So my friends and I would try to figure out who else could possibly be A.
Then I have problems with the book series, even though I enjoy them better than the T.V. show at this point. I finally sat down and read them last year because I thought maybe I would get answers from the books because I wasn't getting any from the show. I really like the books but I think that Sara Shepard is dragging the story out a little bit. I just did finish book eleven and it is getting somewhat old, but I contuine to read them because I just can't stop.
I hope this post wasn't confusing or boring. It's just that I love Pretty Little Liars but sometimes I hate it at the same time. Hopefully there will be some kind of revelation or answer happen soon. It's just getting so old and they can only do so much with A. blackmailing them. There needs to be questions but also answers at the same time. Do any of you feel this way? If you do leave a comment. I would love to discuss it!
I totally know what you mean! I haven't read the books yet either, but I've seen the show up to the end of season 2. It was frustrating me that I'd sat through over 40 episodes of this show and literally even after THAT, nothing had truly been revealed. I think the problem is that the show is set up to only have one real secret. Once they give that up - nothing else matters and the show might as well end.
ReplyDeleteSo I think they're hanging on to it so tight and trying to distract the viewers away from the fact that they haven't given us anything important in a loooong time. :/
But of course - I'll continue watching, lol.
I completely agree with your post. My girlfriend watches it, and so do I. . . My critique is the exact same as yours. I honestly stopped watching the show recently. I kept up with episode summaries online to see if things got interesting, but like you I'm starting to hate the show. Doesn't feel like it is worth my time anymore.
