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.

With the table firmly set for any number of possibilities, it should be interesting to see how the show proceeds from here. Go to Full Review

We're not exactly cliffhanger-y. Maybe that's okay. We have plenty of time. Go to Full Review

Tuesday night's Pretty Little Liars premiere, airing on ABC Family in the States and M3 here in Canada, was a whole other level of insanity. Go to Full Review

Aiden B @aidenb002 Jan 5 Should’ve ended the show at season 4. Even season 3 was pushing it honestly. But this one is horrible and the following seasons get even worse. See more Freedom T @Freedom2025 08/17/2024 You know I found this season pretty disappointing, I thought having Allison back in the show would make things better but it didn’t. And the whole “Oh Mona is dead (just kidding) thing was hilariously dumb and frustrating. I guess it was ok though. But I felt it just didn’t change the show enough. 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 It's not the worst season but it's also but that great. This is where the show lost its spark. they ruined alison this season. See more 04/04/2018 the beginning was so good that i woul give them 4,5 stars but the meantime was a little bored and the end (DOLL HOUSE) amazing. Good job Troian! See more jon c 05/13/2016 the cliffhanger at the end of Season 4 was a hell of a nail-biter; Shana revealed her true intentions and met a grisly fate now everyone is dealing with the aftermath of it all including Alison whom has officially made her return but all is not well as Mona and a new group of A followers band together in order to take her down once and for all considering the damage she left behind Aria, Spencer, Emily, and Hannah are glad Alison is back and sets everything straight about her disappearance but nothing is at it seems when new suspects and new clues begin popping up questioning her story slowly but surely the girls begin to lose Alison's trust and constantly switching alliances with Mona Alison then loses her mother, her father tries to console her but it's hard for her to get back into the life she left behind while also reconnecting with her brother Spencer's life spins more out of control with Toby being a cop struggling to choose between his duties to serve the law or go beyond it, she and her sister seem to be getting along but lies and deceit begin piling up pulling them away again plus she's having trouble choosing a stable relationship Aria while worrying about Ezra getting better from a close encounter helps her mother get over a heartbreak, she considers moving on with her life applying to college and getting away from the A drama but at the expense of her relationship with Ezra as well Emily wants to believe in Alison again but the discoveries made has her break all ties next to two new romances blossoming but has Emily constantly heartbroken Hannah goes through a major change of her own becoming her own person, Caleb also comes back but it's anything but perfect anymore, and she wants to make a life of her own away from Rosewood but obstacles like affording college and being framed for murder keep her down this season loses a bit of the spark from before but the writers do attempt to right the wrongs done to these girls and everything they have been through since Alison has been out of the picture we adjust like her to get back to her home, we want to move on, we want the girls to actually have normal lives but at this point A is still out there wanting to get back at these girls another death of a major character turns things around and the finale rounds up the Liars putting them in an ultimate test of psychological torture/mind games A has conjured up, the Liars face their worst fears like never before the show's 5th season goes deeper into the mindset of what these girls have faced, done, suffered, and what they wish to do in the future not a great season but still gripping See more Read all reviews
