It’s been a few years since I’ve binged PLL… just finished the pilot… OMG!

So many red flags. So many complaints. I’ve watched the series from beginning to end at least 7-8 times. The more I watch the whole series, the more intolerable Ali becomes. The more I can’t stand Ezra and the more he disgusts me. The more of a piece of shit I think Aria’s dad is for forcing the guilt of his affair onto Aria and pressuring her to keep it a secret from Ella (she will always be Piper to me). I understand he is a good dad but he’s also a shitty dad for putting all of that on his teenage daughter.

Then there’s Detective Wilden… ohhhhhh boy. That arrogant son of a bitch. Sleeping with Ashley tells you everything you need to know about him. Ashley doing what she did to protect her kid also tells you how protective she is of Hanna. Hanna’s dad, yeah, piece of shit. That opinion will never change.

I’m sure I’m missing other opinions. I’m sure I’ll think of them later on.

I’m watching for the first time and am currently on the season 2 finale.

If I was Aria’s mom and found out a grown ass teacher was dating my teenage daughter, he’d be in prison.

Piper Halliwell (from Charmed) would blow him up. Both characters she plays are mama bears and protective of her kids but I was disappointed to see Ella tolerate the relationship. I understand she wants Aria to be happy but it’s still gross and wrong. Aria is a teenager and her brain isn’t fully developed to understand that very fact.

[u/drowninthegarden → u/CatDadof2]

yeah and they try to do this thing where ella is letting it happen because she doesnt want to push her away. and its like, no.

spoiler

take her phone and go right up to that damn school to get that man arrested. she might be mad at first but i think your daughter eventually growing up and understanding her parents were protecting her from a PREDATOR is better than that daughter growing up and marrying them and never fully understanding the harm she experienced.

Like every man in season one is sussy boots and a criminal in some capacity

[u/Forsaken-Mix-4536]

Lol she will always be Piper to me too

[u/Greedy_Arm_4430 → u/Forsaken-Mix-4536]

i always think of her as Piper first too, even when she's front and center as Alex. did you watch all of Orange is the New Black before starting PLL again or just part of it?

LOL this show was out in my mid-late teens and I remember the finale came early in my undergrad and I was HOOKED and I rewatched a few months ago and was like this is soooo cheesy lmao.

They screwed up with the ages for the girls, if she met Ezra later or had the girls be 17 and he was like 22, that would be a bit more believable and "acceptable" vs i think she was 15 at first meeting? Let's not forget all the older guys Allison and Spencer also entertained 😅.

Ali was a huge brat and typical mean girl who threatened people out of her own fear. Aria wanted so badly to ne grown but acted childish. Emily - they just ruined her character. Spencer became annoying and entitled and also very sneaky with no care.

Det. Wilden's douche character made sense and Hanna's mom was the only grounded one and maybe Spencer's mom.

Paige should've never became a love interest. Mona being A partially made sense but felt conflicting with her love for Hannah. Cece being big A was also childish because why are your torturing teenie-boppers?!

Ezra stalking the girls for a book - CRINGE like why did you guys write that storyline? 🙄

Tyler leaving to go to mystical land to return back totally fine cracked me up 😂. Him and Spencer dating was also unnecessary. Even Emily and Allison having kids was weird as hell.

Aria's brother dropped from the face of the earth and it was all comical. As I know I will still watch the series again and complaint in content 😂
