Watching ONLY The FIRST And LAST Episode of *PRETTY LITTLE LIARS*

Which is really sad because it was a really good show and I enjoyed the storyline

I think they should have ended it early because it just felt like, in the later seasons, that they were just pushing episodes out. Not really thinking about it

the reveal of A being mona was the craziest, most believable reveal. it was literally perfect. but cece’s reveal wasn’t the best, it was shocking but her story felt kinda forced. like they were saying “hey here’s this character that’s been connected to everything but nobody knew, heh how convenient!”

Same, thats why PLL perfectionists was closed becouse after this ending no one wanted to see who the bad guy is

I loved it until the last season tbh

The worst part about it is that the actors and the producers and crew all knew how wrong it was and there’s literally lines in the show regarding how illegal and wrong it is.

I feel your pain

@Shima Uta not reading none of that. I said I was done.

@MK White Ok sure. Keep on placing arbitrary value on age and one having to know better than the other because of it. Also FYI, I did read the books. He was sent to jail and he got out within (if I'm not misremembering it) just a few days. And once again the books again don't confirm if he actually lost anything more than just his job at the school. For there to have actually been condemnation as you've claimed there was he'd have to have actually gone to prison and served an actual sentence there not be let out virtually over night. And the matter of him losing his teaching license should not have been left ambiguous. But let me approach this from another angle than providing real life examples from my own family. In universe Aria hooks up with Ezra in the same book and episode that Spencer puts the moves on Melissa's soon to be husband. At what point in this series of books/tv show are the fans meant to draw the line of teenage "minors" asking for inappropriate things from young adult "grown ups" instead of vice versa. Especially when over the course of both the books and the show it is repeatedly the so called in danger of things like grooming from a young adult "grown up" teenage "minor" that makes the first move rather than the other way around. If what you're ultimately trying to get across is that Sara Shepard's book series would never have become a best seller if released today and the television show based off it would've been radically different if made in current year, congrats you're uttering the same things hundreds if not thousands have since both the book series and the show concluded. If what you're trying to get at is that I'm wrong about society placing too much importance and stigma on age differences you are wasting your virtual breath. I already said the law is the law and that regardless of how I personally feel about how society treats age the consequences for nor abiding the law should be inevitable. In other words I do not disagree with you that Ezra did something wrong. I simply do not see it as black and white and clear cut as you do.

@Shima Uta it changes the fact that he knew her age the entire time… and whether you’re deceived by a minor it doesn’t make CONTINUING THE RELATIONSHIP UPON LEARNING THE TRUTH not still gross, you’re just weird. Yes adults should know better, not minors like… how is that a hard concept to be grasp? No offense but I could truly, TRULY boy care about your mother and what she decides to do as a legal adult (still teenager) versus the character who barely had a drivers license like? Those aren’t comparable? in the least. The books had him get arrested? You didn’t read them obviously. That entire personal novel you decided to give me is voiced by the fact you’re trying to make a point that doesn’t exist. Him going to jail AT ALL was the condemnation and the fact you apparently need the book to explicitly say “stalking a teenager and hooking up with them still after finding out their a teenager is a bad thing” at your big old middle age is… interesting. And that’s all I will say on that or this topic.

​@MK White Also doesn't change the fact that just like in the source material books it's Aria who comes onto Ezra not the other way around during their first meeting. He tells her he just graduated college which immediately puts his age at, oh you know, only at least 20+ aka adult, 19 if he's some mega genius who never did his senior year of high school and completed college mostly online with double the courses across each term; though this would still put him at just shy of his 20th birthday meaning it's still a minor and adult relationship within just months if they ended up together for longer than a one night stand. In essence what we have is a decidedly not innocent minor deceiving a decidedly not innocent adult. The law of course still favors her in the end because according to societal norm and stigma it's always the adults that should know better not the minors. Still the idea that at 16 years of age a girl doesn't know what she wants from a guy no matter his age has forever been laughable to me. My mother had my older sister at 20 years old after marrying at 19. My oldest niece is six months my junior just six months yet she has recently had her 10th child and we're only 31 (her) and 32 (me) respectively. None of that inhibited my mother from opening and running a very successful pair of restaurants before I was ever born while she and her first husband raised my sister as a separated couple because he was frequently away as an army man straining their relationship, nor did it prevent my aforementioned niece from finishing her education and climbing through the ranks of her dream career. Sorry if I come off rotten, but I see people lay into the Ezria relationship and laugh because people hone in on the age difference so hard like it's something that truly matters, but it's not. The fact the books themselves never really condemn him for getting with her says everything. I mean he gets sent to jail, but gets out and just loses his job. They don't even expressly make it clear if he loses his teaching license even though he really should as that is the minimum consequence you'd expect if the law were followed.

@Shima Uta I suppose me sayin they “hooked up” could be misconstrued as me saying they slept together when in reality I meant they were together at all… also, this does nothing to change the fact he knew Arias age the entire time when they got together? Which was the bigger point?

@Rose Swift I'm pretty sure Shauna was just an A helper

There’s actually 4 A’s you forgot shauna who was after Mona because then aria went through the trauma because she was the one that killed her

@Alyssa b Mikes Mic made an entire 3 part series (each video is like an hour long) and he goes through every single episode and plot. It’s so interesting and it’s funny af too and he has this whole big board on the wall showing everyone’s connections

Alison was also A, back in the dollhouse eps during season six she admits to being A when she gets put in jail and Spencer's parents talked to her, so she was the first A, then mona

@Alyssa b Wow…that's impressive actually! I made it to season 5 and gave up on season 6 after the first ep.

Mother of god no..

Sometimes my references are better than I could imagine

Yesssss, they were the best.

No

@Movies in Depth In the books Ezra is sent to jail for hooking up with a minor but he gets released and just ends up losing his job (and presumably his teaching license though that is not specified). To be fair to the show I think if it hadn't concluded with Aria and Ezra together after repeatedly committing to putting them together on and off for seven seasons there would've been a riot. This was before the world would take so much outrage over relationships between teens and young adults. Also something was said in the finale by Aria's own father that holds true even today even if the fans want to pretend they hate the ship and always did now. "You focused on making Aria happy, not on gaining our approval. I guess that's why you have it." In the end the one thing a parent is going to want for their child is their child's happiness. Who cares about age differences when your child is clearly happy with their significant other? I also want to mention that this show together with the books it itself was based off both served as inspiration for a Turkish adaptation and an Indonesian adaptation and both of those decided to avoid all manner of controversy regarding adults dating minors by having the girls be college sophomores instead of high school sophomores. I'm not sure how much that helped things because if I'm honest I was more uncomfortable watching the actors chosen for Aria and Ezra in those adaptations than I was watching their actors in this one. I mean it makes no difference to me that they were now "age appropriate" because that still leaves the issue of teacher/student but what I really had issues with was the fact the actors lacked chemistry with each other and it never got any better. At the very least in the ABC Family/Freeform show the actors were able to develop solid chemistry and grow into their characters and the relationship as the show went on.

Rlly i thought it was pretty tho

THANK YOU

Ravenswood was cool. I don't think the PLL audience had enough fans into supernatural stuff to sustain it though. To me that's the real reason it flopped. That and an unfavorable time slot which definitely didn't help it.

Ravenwood😭😭😭

I’m so sorry for ruining it for you😂

Misdirects on misderects

@Movies in Depth this show is honestly insane it’s hard to explain it all in a comment 😂 and you’re were right about there being multiple A’s throughout the show. But in the books (because yes there’s books) Ezra Fitz goes to prison in book one

Wait….. what

Pure Chaos energy from start to finish

@Parise Wellington i'm pretty sure i got mona or at least suspected her at one point but other than that... 😂

@pixiedust I guessed most of the reveals but then I always think back and I'm like how...because none of the show makes sense🤭🤧

@Parise Wellington then you were better than me! I recently binged the whole show and I was so lost by the time I got to the finale, I don't think I even tried to guess since I had no idea who it could be!

I guessed Spencer had a twin way before the finale but I believe I thought AD stood for Archer Dunhill

His videos are GOOOOOD!! Just watched the last part

I can definitely see the camp

and that dog that just disappeared after he did more than the rosewood police had in like 4/5 years

Oh no….

@fattiifatti tuoi Mmmm, I don't think she was a proper A. She knew about A and took that advantage to try and kill Ali

@Introgeek and Shana

@Julia C Mona Cici twice Spencer’s British twin sister They were all -A

Wait who is the fourth I’ve watched the show multiple times and I am completely forgetting

@Movies in Depth Yeah, and you really gotta use that suspension of disbelief when season 4 starts. The first three has a few far-fetched moments not too out there, after that, it gets a little ridiculous

@BrownGirlHali - If I remember it correctly the reason Ali and Emily break up in Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists is because Emily continued having doubts about whether or not Ali had really changed leading to their marriage deteriorating because Ali saw that as a display of Emily being unable to trust her. At the end of Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists when it's Ali's turn to tell the mysterious evil entity known as The Professor that sort of takes the role of A in this sequel show, what her biggest fear is, Ali's answer is that she's afraid that no matter how hard she genuinely tries she'll always be that cruel high school bully with a borderline genuinely full blown evil edge. To be more precise to her own phrasing she says "I'm afraid that there's no fixing me. That I'm too broken to be fixed." It's also worth mentioning that the reason the ship was actually broken up externally speaking is because Shay Mitchell (Emily) made it clear she was done playing her character and had no intentions to ever return to playing her. That decision ultimately opened the door to keep on expanding the character of Ali given how they'd already taken her dramatically far from the book counterpart.

WHAT

@Movies in Depth At this point people being confused by the last A reveal is more meme than fact. It makes near perfect sense (there's one or two loopholes that fans who've had time to devote to combing every episode with a fine toothed brush have found but for the most part the reveal holds up).

Oh nooooo

That's actually not a blunder by the writers though. That is part of Aria's character. That over the course of the show (and the books for that matter) she is constantly redefining who and what she is.

cruel summer is AMAZING

@Gregory House yeah ik, i said that, but the first season was originally meant to be a limited series, so the show tied up lose ends in a way that would make for a fun video

Cruel Summer has been renewed.

@quackquack EXACTLY its so GROSS and he really just continued to groom her all the way into marriage, i know it’s a drama show but i really really wish his consequences were portrayed differently because i know this fucked up how so many girls (and others too) view relationships

THISSSS! No one seems to remember that this means all those scenes where he acts surprised about her age and pretends to be conflicted he's just manipulating her because he knew from the beggining

Yess

this show made 11 year old me think what they had was romantic smh

Omg yesss I forgot lol

@Movies in Depth you should do the ep where the reveal the first A. It’s sooo much better

I got dealt a bad hand here lmao

Yes, he played Theo in Teen Wolf

Yep. Cody Christian. PPL, Teen Wolf, now All American.

I’m sorry you all had to suffer through the final episode!

Me standing up immediately in the back

Hahahahahahhahahah I just cackled for longer then I want to admit reading this

LMAO yes the fact that he referenced teen wolf not realising the guy is also in teen wolf💀💀

Wat lol

Oh good god

@Movies in Depth oh gotcha, then I misunderstood! My bad! Still really enjoyed the video

Right, I just thought it seemed like they had only been pregnant for a few weeks which is very early to announce it

Yep. And yep.

@Movies in Depth I wish I were trying to be funny but the show makes no damn sense. And yes, they really tried to make the predator-student relationship happen.

LMAOOO

I dodged the big one with this show lmao

And she was the ice princess in shark boy & lava girl .... Like I loved PLL in its time. I watched it when it came out all those years. My teenage years was PLL. And now I'm 24 and it's like .... They really gave us some mentally screwed up plots tbh. The A reveals were alllllll over the place. But the things those girls suffered was way too normalised.

I find it so weird like why did they make her have bikini scenes, make out with shay and kiss a bunch of guys whole also having weirrd scenes with them

good for you, that's the choice of happiness

The irony was too good for me to even catch it
