As time has passed since Alison, then the queen bee of the bunch, went missing. Spencer, Aria, Hanna and Emily have gone on with their lives, though they've grown apart. As the years go by, each girl finds herself facing a new set of challenges when anonymous text messages from "A" threaten to expose all their secrets -- both old secrets the girls were sure only Alison knew, and newer secrets developed after Alison's disappearance. Who is "A" and how does he or she know the things he or she knows? Based on the series of novels by Sara Shepard.

Masquerade is an ancient trope-Shakespeare used it, as did Zorro!-so it's intriguing to see it implemented in this very modern story, supplemented by other forms of hiding in plain sight. Go to Full Review

Pretty Little Liars is that when it's good, it is a fever dream. It's at its most fun when it breezes past the big picture, gets lost in its own illusions, and lets a talking parrot steal the spotlight. Go to Full Review

For a teen drama, Pretty Little Liars has always edged on the mature side, and the season four premiere keeps this trend going in a big way. Go to Full Review

Freedom T @Freedom2025 08/17/2024 I feel this season was the start of the downfall of the show, I feel after season 3 they should’ve wiped the show clean and have a new villain. But no, they just did another A, and it was the first season where Allison was brought back from the dead, but looking back at it, I think it must’ve been a last resort for the show. But it’s a fine season as is, but a pretty surprising backslide from season 3. See more fred a @RT02345864 04/14/2024 They really stretched this series out, which shows in the last two seasons in particular. The first few are decent soap opera type teen drama, but the last three, 4,5,6 are down hill in that order. Unfortunately the viewer is invested in the mystery just enough to keep watching but most won't admit they've seen it See more J J @RT62531727 03/04/2022 This is by far their best season. It's so well written and filmed. The acting is brilliant as usual by every cast member. Set designs and score was amazing. The mysterious A scenes were so creepy…I loved it! Ezra as an "A" reveal was the best decision they could have made. Look if he was the Uber A , that would have been the ideal because it would also condemn him dating a teenager/student. Sigh I wish this is how the series needed. With a bang. Unfortunately no. A is still Ezra to me tho. Anyways, this season deserves a review from me because of how well done it is. See more 08/09/2018 This season was the best by far of what I've watched. Finished it in less than 5 days... See more 01/29/2016 A Great show! Defiantly lives up to the first three seasons See more 06/19/2015 What a drag this season was. I was almost always multitasking while watching it. See more Read all reviews
