At first, ABC Family's new teen drama, Pretty Little Liars, reminded me a lot of a popular movie during the 90s, I Know What You Did Last Summer. In ways, it does have a similar premise: four friends have something to hide after their missing friend Ally turns up dead. But the show, so far, has the characters dealing with a lot of other issues than dead stalkers, too.Watch Pretty Little Liars online: season 1.2, The Jenna Thing below - full episode.
Lead character Aria (Lucy Hale) can't control her feelings for her English teacher, Mr. Fitz (Ian Harding) - and neither can he. Emily (Shay Mitchell) can't seem to decide between her feelings for her boyfriend Ben (Steven Krueger) and the new girl in town, after her and Maya (Bianca Lawson) share a quick kiss in the first episode. The feelings Spencer (Troian Avery Bellsario) has for her snooty sister's fiancee Wren (Julian Morris) come to a head. And Hanna (Ashley Benson) is being stalked by the police officer who is not only in charge of the murder investigation but is also sleeping with her mom.
One part Gossip Girls, one part Desperate Housewives, and a dash of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Of course, the biggest issue is what do the girls really know about Ally's death? And is Ally texting them from beyond the grave, taunting them with knowledge about their deepest darkest secrets? A lot of questions are answered in this episode, including their involvement in the incident that caused Jenna's (Tammin Sursok) blindness.
Yet, another question - or is it an answer? - appears at the end of episode, implying the reason behind the mysterious texts isn't so paranormal after all.
Are you watching Pretty Little Liars? What do you think so far?
