The Resume

    (June 8, 2010-June 27, 2017)
    ABC Family
    Lucy Hale as Aria Montgomery
    Troian Bellisario as Spencer Hastings
    Shay Mitchell as Emily Fields
    Ashley Benson as Hanna Marin
    Sasha Pieterse as Alison DiLaurentis
    Based on the young adult novel series created by Sara Shepard
    A high-school clique of mean girls, whose ringleader suddenly goes missing and later turns up seemingly dead, finds their deepest dirtiest secrets threatened by a mystery figure known only as ‘A’

Why Pretty Little Liars might be annoying:

    Where is Rosewood, anyway?
    The WB network was supposed to have it going in 2005, but then it shut down.
    Pieterse is some seven years younger than the next-youngest main cast member, yet she plays the charming but vicious leader of the clique (at least she was still a teenager)!
    ‘A’ is legendary for sudden moves and always being steps ahead of the Liars.
    It featured songs from Selena Gomez.
    Entertainment Weekly declared it a cross between Gossip Girl and the I Know What You Did Last Summer series (‘but like not so subtle’).
    The BuddyTV website billed it as a teenage Desperate Housewives.

Why Pretty Little Liars might not be annoying:

    Its target audience grew up on Hannah Montana.
    Its pilot was helped along by a huge ‘Pretty Little’ advertising blitz.
    It featured songs from Pink.
    Among all key female demographics, it was the highest-rated series debut for its network and finished second for its hour.
    It outscored the season finale of Glee (2009-10) in its key demographic.
    Benson herself suggested the theme song: ‘Secret’ by The Pierces.
    It won all three of its 2010 Teen Choice Award nominations (Choice Summer TV Show, and male and female star).
