Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists

I didn't mind this series at all. It gave me something to watch after PLL finished and I wasn't hating it tbh.

I'm sad that season 2 has been cancelled by CW.. but maybe it can be picked up by someone new.. nonetheless I would recommend if you love your typical high school drama shows

After the awful pll series finale, I thought the sequel would obviously suck but the reboot's premiere seems interesting. Let's see how it goes from here. What I like from it is the fresh storyline and characters who are likable using the same pll tone.

More grown up things are going on. It's college. Alison is a teacher, Mona is in admissions. That's all that comes over from PLL. The production looks beautiful. The mood and atmosphere are so welcome.

So far an intriguing mystery is unfolding. Alison is the do good busybody investigating why one kid is writing papers for other students. There is a tangled web of romantic entanglements both straight and same sex. Throw in a fake suicide and murder there's quite a lot going on. Hopefully they plot doesn't get too tangled to follow as it did in PLL. Rather droll that Agatha Christie would be college reading.

Kelly Rutherford looks stunning and I'm so thrilled she's in the series. She elevates the show to another class.

It'll take a bit of time to get used to the new characters. Some of the guys look a bit alike. The girls are all pretty but I miss the A list distinctiveness of the PLL bunch.

Whatever it is just so glad it's on.

This series could have been SO amazing, had it followed the exact path of the book! I mean, the book was so good, I think I liked these ''series'' even better than PLL! But, unfortunately, they chosed a different way and it kind of sucks. I am going to give it a shot because of sentimental reasons, but if something doesn't radically change in the next episodes (e.g this LAME chemistry between the main characters), I am sure we won't have a second season.

The Perfectionist was surprisingly better than expected and I already expected a lot from it. They didn't take Mona's insanity away, they kept Allison's past a big part of her narrative and they brought in new characters that are very different from the original PLL cast all whilst making us feel like we've known them for a long time.

I think Freeform has something amazing on their hands and I hope I keep feeling that way as the season progresses
