Got a secret. Can you keep it? No need, I'll just tell you.
I remember the very first episode of "Pretty Little Liars: like it was only yesterday. Watching 5 girls come together to enjoy their last day of summer when all of a sudden one of them goes missing, setting a chain of events that for the past 6 seasons has only gotten more and more complicated. And it all started with a text from the mysterious "A".
Witnessing the mystery of what happened to Alison Dilaurentis the night she disappeared in the perspective of her friends Hannah Marin, Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, and Emily Fields while being cyber-bullied and stalked by a faceless individual who goes by the initial “A“ has really been a roller coaster for any die hard PLL fan out there. There were threatening texts, love interests, people in black hoodies and red coats, turning girls blind, creepy motels, creepy dolls, an asylum located in the middle of town (don’t ask if you don’t understand,) arrests, murders, breakdowns, family secrets revealed, and literally anything else you can think of that would totally be dramatic and jaw dropping!
Now the time has come for Pretty Little Liars to end this streak of crazy twists and turns it puts fans through every week, because June 21st is the beginning of the very last season of PLL. *Cue the violins and persistent sobbing* As a loyal fan of the show I like to think I have a good handle on the events leading up to where our characters are now; and by that, I mean I have never missed a single episode and if the ending is not to my liking I will sue the Freeform network and show creator, Marlene King, for everything they have put me through.
You don't believe me? Take your pick! Warning spoilers ahead if you’re not a PLL expert like me. From finding out Alison was alive in season 4 to Spencer going to Radley after she thought Toby Cavanaugh died. The girls were arrested, kidnapped and put in an actually dollhouse. They found out Mona, former victim of Alison's bullying, was "A" and she then passed on the rains to Cece Drake who turned out to be Alison’s transgender sister, or cousin, (I swear to God I don’t know how I kept up with this for so long,) and then ending last season with finding out Alison’s mom had a twin who was a patient at Radley and is apparently Cece’s mom and Hanna getting kidnapped.
All I ask for this last and final season of PLL is this. End it. After we found out Cece was the second "A" I could’ve dealt with the rest of the series being about them moving on from what they’ve been through and becoming adults, not pile on more mysteries and more twists than a twizzler. The girls are finally out of high school (I graduated high school before they did for crying out loud!) and have made lives for themselves outside of Rosewood and it should've stayed that way. I'll admit that it's exciting to see them solve these mysterious and see their character developments, but it's time to wrap this up. Lying to police and hiding what's really going on with them feels too juvenile and prolonged. And I won't even mention these love connections because those deserve their own articles.One a final note, thank you PLL for filling my teenage years with unrealistic expectations of what my wardrobe should look like, what high school boyfriends should look and be like, and for making my mom and I amateur detectives. Make this final season a good one!
Because two can keep a secret, if one of them is dead.
