So if you haven't heard about the show following four estranged best friends, who, following the death of their fifth clique member, become close once again because they all receive texts/emails from beyond the grave.... well, you have been living under a rock.
Pretty Little Liars premiered this summer, and I have been watching since the first second it has aired. I'm addicted; in fact, I'm beyond addicted. I cry when I forget to DVR it. I'm not kidding; it's an issue. I am going to give you a quick synopsis that I feel represents the show accurately and will have you watching instantly.
Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily are four best friends who were all close with Allison; in fact, Allison was the reason they were all friends. So after her suspicious murder, the girls stray from each other, until one year to the day of the murder, our awesome foursome begin receiving threatening texts from a mysterious person who calls them self "A". Who could it be? And how do they have so much dirt on our girls?
What dirt you ask? Well, Aria is currently sleeping with her insanely hot English teacher Ezra Fitz who she meets at a bar (yes she's 16) and discusses literature with. And, tragically, her divorced parents are both having affairs... with each other. Hanna is an ex-fatty who Allison always used to make fun of, and who has a kind of cute boyfriend who she won't sleep with; he doesn't last as she then befriends a nerdy computer geek (who also doesn't last). She is currently sleeping with a half-asian foster child who is a phone hacker and lives in her basement unbeknownst to her mother. Spencer, a goody goody with straight A's, a power mom who is, of course, a lawyer, and some pretty odd fashion sense, has a little problem; she hooks up with all of her older sister's fiances/boyfriends, etc. It's kind of an issue now, because the sister's current fiance may be Allison's killer; unfortunately, Spencer's sister is already impregnanted with what could be his evil spawn child. And then there's Emily, the ethnically ambiguous daugher of an army general who realizes that she is a homosexual. She dates the new girl, Maya, who unfortunately gets sent away to boot camp for carrying the tiniest bit of weed in her backpack; she's now secretly hooking up with one of her swim team teammates. Emily is also very close friends with Toby, her neighbor who was originally wanted for Allison's murder. Spencer has also hooked up with Toby (sensing a trend?). The most interesting part about Toby: his hot step-sister, Jenna, who was tragically blinded when the four girls and Allison through a smoke bomb that exploded into the garage where she was; it wasn't intentional, but it sure did some damage. Additionally, Toby used to sleep with Jenna until he realized it was wrong. Jenna, blind and all, still wants it though; did I mention she plays the flute?
You can't deny that you're at least a little curious as to what happens next. We all want to know who "A" is, if Aria is going to get caught with Ezra, if Hanna is going to pack on the pounds again, and if Spencer won't stop until she literally hooks up with every character on the show. No matter what, this show is here to stay, so get hooked.
