Undeniably popular, Pretty Little Liars has taken so many with it through it's journey (WHO IS A?! Then, WHO IS A.D.?!?) Ever a sucker for the teen genre, murder mysteries and shows with female leads, PPL had us at its weird doll/corpse intro.
There were many moments throughout the series where so many of us tapped out. PLL would continue to win so many of us back with it's consistently bizarre and corny antics as well as its ridiculous plot twists.
1. Alison- resident mean- girl was extra AF from episode 1. She drugged practically everyone at some point, and she faked her own death and kidnapping.
2. The show took the idea of being attached to your cell phone to the next level. A loves to terrorize via text so most of the show is made up of tense cell phone gazing and reading out loud. Super corny- think Scream- but whatever it's relatable.
3. Holly Marie Combs is in it!
4. People do in fact play dolly and this show just may hold the record for the largest sum of creepy dolls.
5. The extravagant doll threats were way more exciting than the threats via text though, as were the doll doppelgängers.
6. Aria's doppel doll may have just been the best of all time because it time capsuled her really bad hair do.
7. We are meant to embrace Toby as an intriguing, main heart throb - even though he looks like Golum and whines way too much!
8. The resident bad boy looks like a young Professor Snape! Admittedly he later gets hotter.
9. The show continually tries to make us like and forgive Ezra - even though his relationship with Aria started off as her underage and him as her high school teacher. #creepy
10. Jenna becoming and unbecoming blind multiple times. Cruel and possibly the most ridiculous story line.
11. A hijacking Hanna's dental surgery and leaving a hidden message in her tooth. Messed up and super random, A is super committed but at least has dentistry to fall back on.
12. Spencer finding human finger bones in her finger bone wedding corset. Maybe A just had a thing for word play.
13. Spencer and Aria almost getting turned into ice cream!?
14. There were so so many cringe masks in the show. Think Phantom of the Opera meets the dollar store.
15. The Alison masks were really really realistic though.
16. Ravenswood in general. Why did it take up so much of the PLL sphere!? Also which writer had a thing for Edgar Allen Poe and who was obsessed with the Wild West?!
17. Theses heinous halloween costumes.
18. Ashley Marin's sub plots in general including her child ghost sighting in this costume.
19. Despite the hi-tech spy gear that's accessible to teens in the show, this is what they come up with for the video messages.
20. We thought the threatening texts were lame enough but towards the end of the series a terrorizing motorized board game get's thrown into the mix.
21. The security at Radley. Psych patients allowed to wander the roof, long term patients dressed up as nurses and going unnoticed, unmonitored secret passages and rooms as well as phony doctors and fabricated credentials.
22. All the British men in the show turn out to be evil for example fake psychiatric doctor, Elliott Rollins. Also all the British guys get murdered at some point like in the finale where we learn that Wren's ashes get turned into a pendant! Which writer hates the British?
23. The secret identities/secret baby count is through the roof in this series. Jason - Alison's brother sleeps with his cousin, bc he doesn't know she is related to him! This is only the beginning of the Hasting- DiLaurentis secret identity/secret baby reveals.
24. Mystery secret baby of Jessica DiLaurentis and Mr Hastings named Charles is revealed. Later we find out that Charles is trans and is Charlotte, that Charlotte is A, and finally that she is Mary Drake and Mr Hasting's daughter, not Jessica's. #canyoukeepup
25. We all love twin plot twist and the show drops a secret identical evil twin into mix w the reveal Jessica DiLaurentis has a sister Mary Drake.
26. Alison being drugged and impregnated with Emily's stolen donor eggs resulting in Alison & Emily having twins together.
27. The show loves twins so much that it incorporates ghost twins in a Halloween episode.
28. The final plot twist/reveal that A.D is Mary Drakes other secret daughter and Spencer Hasting's evil twin sister named Alex. Our fav has a twin, how very PLL!
29. We're surprised that given the shows twin obsession, they didn't somehow write in Mariska Hargitay- Mrs Hastings doppelgänger!
30. Someone on the PLL team probably really has something against the British bc -and perhaps the weirdest choice in PLL- Alex the evil twin's terrible, terrible cockney accent.
