I just finished watching the winter premiere of Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family, and I was absolutely stupefied.
Honestly, I think all of ABC Family shows have below par actors with emotionless acting abilities, and slow moving plot lines; however, I still find myself watching PLL just to find out the identity of A.
*SPOILER ALERT*
I suffered through the first 45 minutes of the episode, but then I started paying attention when Emily was in the greenhouse alone with A. Blah, blah, she was getting her ass kicked by A. ok, that's not the point. Right when Emily was on the verge of death (ok, I'm exaggerating just a bit...), Spencer and Aria came to the rescue. Since Aria and Spencer are soooo threatening with a stick as a weapon, A retreats to a corner out of desperation.
Spencer kept getting closer to A, with a perfectly functioning flashlight in her hand, aimed at the ground.
At this point in the show, I was yelling at the television.
Isn't one of the main goals in the show is finding who A is?
WHY DIDN'T SPENCER SHINE THE FLASHLIGHT IN A's MYSTERIOUS FACE???
Seriously! The writers/directors were obviously unaware of this major flaw.
I completely agree, I can't believe how stupid this show is. How could they even alow this crap to be put on tv
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly... This is the dumbest show ever... its a waste of time it needs to be cancelled. I find so many editing errors. the whole A thing is now so annoying... I totally agree with you on " actors with emotionless acting abilities" the worse of them all is Emily and Hanna they cant express fear or any sort of emotion. I have so many negative things to sat about this show
ReplyDeleteI just finished season 4, and seriously now A has a plane? In season 18 of this show A is going to be following the girls on a trip to Hawaii in a freaking submarine. What is the motivation for all of this subterfuge? A pulled the police car out of the lake after it was submerged for who knows how long and all of it's electrical components work perfectly? This show is SOOOO STUPID, and has no credibility whatsoever. Just accept that A can do anything because she's freaking magic. And someone rising from the grave? Whatever.

I hate the show so much, but I just want to know who A is. I tape all the episodes and just fast forward to the end to see if they make any progress on the show. I have noticed that you can watch this show in any given order and it makes no difference. Meaning, that they never resolve anything that happens on the previous episodes
ReplyDeletethe storylines lead nowhere, and some of the acting is terrible. and the main premise of the show is to find out what happened to the most narcissistic and revolting girl you can imagine. Alison is an absolute monster. A stupid piece of tedious drivel.
ReplyDeleteI seriously gave up on this show after season one. How I lasted that long is beyond me. I happened to be watching "Twisted" tonight which has a plot line that actually goes places, and stupidly left the tv on once that show ended. Out of curiosity (because that never killed the cat or anything) I kept the tv on this channel to see what these four idiots were up to. I am truly astonished that this show is still on the air. You would think that after a bajillion stakeouts, near death experiences, and burglaries they would know not to break into "A's" hideout and make themselves at home. Aria literally just broke into a cabin, put her keys and purse down like she was visiting home for a quick snack and then wonders why she ends up getting chased through the freaking woods when they find her keys. How can writers keep producing such idiotic characters week after week, season after season? End rant.
ReplyDeleteWhat stupid about this show is that they are so stupid and defensless like they can't kick or hit or slap. Are they really that fucking dumb. They fool for small things dumasses
ReplyDeleteI also hate how Emily goes into the greenhouse with an EMPTY box to confront "A". There is no gun, taser, tranq gun, pepper spray or kitchen knife in the box to help her in case "A" goes batshit crazy. Emily knew before going to the fucking greenhouse that there is going to be a psychopath in there and yet at no point in the episode do the liars suggest weaponry or a meaningful plan of attack.
ReplyDeleteThen of course A beats the crap out of Emily and her two useless friends run in to the rescue (again carrying no useful weapons).
It's like "Clueless" meets "Scream" and they should have all died in Season 1 due to seer stupidity.
Whoever you're< more power to you, I was so agigated about watching this stupid show and I typed PLL is so stupid and came across your comment. This is hands down the best PLL review.
DeleteEverything about this show just makes me so angry I just want to throw a shoe at my tv.The intro song/music, the whole "A" thing, acting, ect. a family member of mine watches it. I try to kick them out the living room but they throw a fit. So glad its only one hour a week. Another thing that just grinds my gears is that its on abc "family". Whats so family about this show? Murder, gay relationships. If this was on hbo or cinemax fine whatever.im pretty sure theres a lot of naive parents out there that would consider their children watching this because its abc "family". This show is just garbage.Now on the adult side I cannot deny I sneak a peek at those women on the show thats probably why its still on. like they say sex sells but what am I complaining about its not like they'll take it down because they read my thread, oh well
