Pretty Little Liars is a teen soap opera featuring beautiful girls who wear ridiculous clothes and say bitchy one-liners. They are occasionally tormented and tortured by a mysterious bully via text messages.

Meet Alison, a teenage girl who had it all figured out. She was the queen bee in high school, top of the social ladder, and she had a loyal posse of friends who will do her every bidding. This includes the sweet yet naive Aria, the beautiful but insecure Hanna, the ambitious and competitive Spencer, and the loyal, trusting athlete Emily.

These five friends used to share their most intimate secrets with each other. Until one day, Allison goes missing, leaving the other four girls with many unanswered questions and a mysterious scandal among themselves. The four of them can only trust each other with their dirty little secrets – that’s what keeps them close.

This show is ridiculously fun. At its best, Pretty Little Liars can be an immensely enjoyable teen drama with a compelling mystery that spans across seven seasons. At its worse, it’s still an entertaining hot mess that embraces its campiness.
