Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists

The Perfectionist was surprisingly better than expected and I already expected a lot from it. They didn't take Mona's insanity away, they kept Allison's past a big part of her narrative and they brought in new characters that are very different from the original PLL cast all whilst making us feel like we've known them for a long time.

I think Freeform has something amazing on their hands and I hope I keep feeling that way as the season progresses

Let me begin by saying I've never watched Pretty Little Liars so going into this show, it was completely new to me. I hadn't even heard about it until today and I thought I'd give it a chance. Like every teen-drama based show, the pilot has several moments that had me rolling my eyes but when the episode focused on the main story, that's when it shined. There's definitely potential here for the show to be a really interesting mystery-drama show rather than just a typical teen-drama. The characters are all quite interesting and they all have something to hide which makes them complicated at times. By the looks of it, the pilot does reference Pretty Little Liars a fair bit and when it did that, I found it hard to keep track. This is an issue that several spin-off shows have, the show needs not to rely on the original series otherwise there will be people who'll feel like they're missing something. The actors are all pretty decent, Sarah Pieterse in particular is quite good and I can see her doing even better with a better script. The script isn't the strongest link of the pilot, hopefully this is something they focus on improving but as of right now, it's not too good. The overall story is intriguing and the twist at the end of the pilot definitely had me curious as to what comes next.

After the awful pll series finale, I thought the sequel would obviously suck but the reboot's premiere seems interesting. Let's see how it goes from here. What I like from it is the fresh storyline and characters who are likable using the same pll tone.

This series could have been SO amazing, had it followed the exact path of the book! I mean, the book was so good, I think I liked these ''series'' even better than PLL! But, unfortunately, they chosed a different way and it kind of sucks. I am going to give it a shot because of sentimental reasons, but if something doesn't radically change in the next episodes (e.g this LAME chemistry between the main characters), I am sure we won't have a second season.

Wow. Just wow. PLL: The Perfectionists is the reboot us PLL fans needed! The drama, the love, the action is simply perfection and this is for sure so far, topping and beating the original. LOVE THIS SHOW.
