As the last episode of Pretty Little Liars has now premiered, I thought I would give some of those who haven't watched the show some insight on why fans adore it as we do.
1. Friendship
Pretty Little Liars is a thrilling show that revolves around the disappearance of Alison Dilaurentis. Even though the shows revolves mostly around this subject, the show at it's core is about the friendship between the other four girls: Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer. These four girls stick together through the hardest time of their young lives and grow closer through their shared sadness over a missing friend. As they are continuously tormented by an anonymous source, they stick up for each other and are really each other's rocks throughout the entirety of the show. Heck, even the love interests on the show forged friendships!
2. The Mystery
The show itself is driven by the mystery of A and the sudden disappearance of Alison Dilaurentis. It keeps you on your toes, just when you think you have it figured out... BAM another plot twist is thrown in! I personally also love that the girls (and their adorable boyfriends which we will get to later) come up with theories and investigate them themselves. The characters are so determined to find out what happened to their friend and to end the harassment they are all enduring. It is thrilling to watch!
3. The Humor
So you may be thinking, Megan this show is a drama how funny could it really be? Well my friend, the answer is very funny. This show has some of the best one-liners I have ever heard. After hearing them I would have to pause the show to give myself a few moments to laugh, and I would most likely end up rewinding it and watching it again. In my opinion, Hanna's one-liners are the best and she has plenty through out the show. I just love that amidst all the drama and mystery their are light-hearted moments as well.
4. The Adorable Relationships
Now what would a Freeform/ABCFamily show be without some romance? Nothing I tell you! Pretty Little Liars has some of the most adorable romances, but don't worry I won't spoil you for anything big... The guys in this show are loyal, honest, kind, and yes very attractive (which never hurts)! I have loved watching the relationships on this show develop and I feel that it adds another layer of depth to the production.
5. The Joy They Have Given Fans
Even though the show is coming to an end, the fans (including myself) are so grateful for the 7 seasons that we have gotten from this phenomenal television show. Each one of the characters were so dynamic and I feel like everyone could relate to at least one of them in some way. These characters taught us to fight for what we want, whether that be friendships, love, career goals, etc. These strong female characters have been role models for girls for the past 7 seasons and I know I am so grateful for them. Pretty Little Liars is a show that will live on long after the final scene has played out and I hope that new fans enjoy the show as much as the rest of us did. Thank you Pretty Little Liars for everything...
