I've
heard my blogger pal Julie rave about her guilty pleasure of watching the show Pretty
Little Liars for some time now and since I've exhausted my dvd
collection during the recent snow and ice that came my way, I was in the market
for a new show and decided to give it a watch.
Pretty
Little Liars is loosely based on a series of young adult novels, which I haven’t
read. I’ll never forget my first experience watching a show that was based on
books I loved. The year was 1992, I was 10 years old and the show was The Baby-sitters Club. Pretty Little
Liars is much more Sex and the City than BSC, but still has all that fun girl
power we love in a guilty pleasure show.
Basically,
it’s about four friends and the drama and intrigue that develops after the
leader of their little clique disappears. It has all the teen angst you expect plus
a little murder thrown in.
And
just like Sex and the City, PLL has the fashion. Isn’t that always one of the
best parts of these kinds of shows? I just started watching the SATC prequel
The Carrie Diaries for the fashion alone. If you’re a fan of one of these
shows, you can usually watch any of them (although I couldn’t get into Gossip
Girl…oh well).
I
think the current season of Pretty Little Liars is the third so I’m pretty far
behind, but I don’t mind. That’s how it is with guilty pleasure shows…you can
watch several in a row while doing other things like laundry or chores. I’m
curious if you watch
Pretty Little Liars? I’d love to hear what you think about it, but no
spoilers please!
