Can ya'll recommend similar tv shows like this one, preferably in the slasher genre? That's all I'm honestly looking for but it would be a bonus if there are good characters and there's a whodunit element to it. Doesn't necessarily have to be a teen drama.

I already watched the OG PLL, Scream Queens and Scream: The TV Series. I just need something to watch while we wait for a S3 announcement lol.

I saw grandma Lola in my I know what you did last summer show rewatch. Completely forgot she was in there?

Any fans of that show? I grew up on the movies but still thought the show was fun. I wish PLL would take a few cues with the mystery aspect because i know what you did last summer did a good job of having secrets but also being horror. I also felt the relationships were well developed for the short 8 episodes and got a lot of character background. I love this new version of PLL but when I rewatch shows like this and scream I see we are missing those aspects big time.

What lies do you think/want the liars to have?

This season really made Imogen’s personality come to light, that scene where she calls Dr. Sullivan’s office and pretends she’s basically having a breakdown and then confronts her about potentially being BR was quite amazing, even the other girls were shook at her ability to pretend (also huge props to Bailee for portraying her so well!!). I feel like this really brings up how she was probably NOT a goody two shoes in the past, like, am I the only one that gets BIG mean girl vibes from her? Cause there is no way she was Karen’s BFF without at least being kind of a bitch, I feel like bringing this mean girl thing back for her (as in someone acknowledging and saying it to her) would do wonders for her character, sometimes it feels like they want to make her seem like a saint but I just feel like that part of her personality has so much potential to be explored on the show. Like ANYTHING that brings back that potential attitude wether it’s to make her spiral more or to make her have a bit of a redemption/consecuences of past actions act. I wanna know how everyone feels about her potential mean girl past.

I mean he spent like a whole night in the freezer. Many people died way earlier in similar circumstances. Also how was he fully dressed? I know that once hypothermia kicks in you feel really hot and you are getting undressed - it happens all the time. I don't think there is valid explanation on how a guy might survive through that.

What are we thinking about a season 3? Will it happen? What would the plot be? Would there be any original liars brought in? I love these new characters and vibe of the show and don’t want it to end!

I personally think this ending was mature and realistic, I'd love if they become friends in season 3, but we can't forget Imogen probably TRAUMATIZED Johnny not only did she attack him and left him in freezer but she left him with DEAD BODIES he's probably gonna need so much therapy.

But that's just my opinion I'm curious to see what they're gonna do

Where do you guys genuinely think that the writers are going to take season 3?

Do we think we’re going to continue to follow the Water’s storyline? Even though it’s being over used at this point.

Are we going to revisit the moms and their past at all? I’d personally love to. (Maybe they did something else in their past years AFTER the Angela event that sparks a new person seeking revenge from their past like an IMWYD season) and now the Liars have to figure it out to save their mothers lives this time around?

Lemme know what you think, or where you think the next season will go…?

I watched the first season ages ago has the season 2 come out? And if it has is it worth watching?

Idc about spoilers. I just really hate these characters. They’re awful and not in a fun way.

Ok so I’m just getting around to watching Summer School now. I was a little nervous because the opinions about this season seem to be all over the place so I wasn’t sure what to expect.

I’m on episode 6 and it’s just occurring to me now that this show doesn’t really feel like Pretty Little Liars. The girls have no secrets or anything of substance that they are lying about.

The whole allure of the original series was the mystery around who was A, coupled with the girl’s scandalous secrets and messy behaviour made for an iconic 7 seasons. (Not perfect but definitely memorable)

But this iteration has very little of that. There is almost no investigation into who Bloody Rose is, I want to see the girls creeping around town following people to find clues who BR is. No real red herrings, no texts, no blackmailing the girls. There was the bit with Sullivan that lasted like 2 episodes.

Don’t get me wrong I enjoy this version and I really do like the girls and their chemistry together as a group. But I miss the mystery element of the show. I miss the girls being messy and trying to cover up their secrets. I miss getting sassy texts from A.

It feels like a slasher show and not Pretty Little Liars. Which is perfectly fine but it makes me think this show could be so much more with better writing and more emphasis on what made the original so entertaining.

All that being said I am enjoying the show and I’m happy we’re getting PLL again. Do ya’ll agree or are you happy with the direction they’re taking the show?

Are you an OG watcher (watched when PLL was on air or since the beginning 2010) or new(watched after it aired/streaming services) or never watched PLL). I’m curious to see where the majority is in this thread. If you feel comfortable, can you comment if you enjoy the show or not based off of your watcher status.

Why the fuck were the bodies in the freezer??????!!!!!!!! Was there an explanation for this.

Omggg the way Wes had a rose out when he was cooking for Tabitha in S1…foreshadowed him and bloody rose double team 😭

I know that scene exists to homage The Shining but if it was a boy who did that to a girl youd never hear the end of it and the show glosses it over

Does anyone here think Kelly somehow had a role in all of this? Kelly looking at the pic of Imogen and Karen after Karen’s death. Kelly being the one to make the story of her kissing Greg look bad and being the one to tell Karen. I don’t think she’s completely innocent here
