Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists is a mystery drama television series that premiered on Freeform on March 20, 2019. The show is based on the book series The Perfectionists by Sara Shepard and serves as a spin-off and continuation of the much-loved series, Pretty Little Liars.
The series is set a few years after the events of Pretty Little Liars, in the picturesque town of Beacon Heights, where everything seems to be perfect on the surface. But just like Rosewood, Beacon Heights is not as perfect as it seems, and secrets and lies are lurking just beneath the surface.
The show follows the story of three college friends, who are striving for perfection in their seemingly perfect lives, but things begin to unravel when one of their classmates is murdered in mysterious circumstances. The murder investigation then leads to a string of other secrets being exposed, intertwined with love triangles, betrayal, and intrigue.
The three leads in the show are Alison DiLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse), Mona Vanderwaal (Janel Parrish), and Ava Jalali (Sofia Carson), who all have their own secrets and motives. Alison, who was one of the original Pretty Little Liars, returns to Beacon Heights, where she is now a professor at the local college. Mona, who was also once a victim of the original A, has moved to Beacon Heights and is now working at the college's technology department. Lastly, Ava, who is a student at the college, is trying to establish herself in the fashion world, while at the same time dealing with the pressure of being a scholarship student and trying to fit in with her wealthy classmates.
Alongside the three leads, we also have Caitlin Park-Lewis (Sydney Park), a political science student with a bright future, who is juggling her studies with a complicated family life. Finally, we have Claire Hotchkiss (Kelly Rutherford), the powerful and wealthy matriarch of the family that owns the college, who has her own ties to the murder investigation.
As the investigation into the murder unfolds, secrets and lies are exposed, and the tension builds, with no one being who they first appeared to be. This is where the show excels, leaving the viewer on the edge of their seat, trying to piece together the clues and solve the mystery.
One of the standout aspects of the show is the excellent performances from the cast, who are all exceptional in their roles. The chemistry between Sasha Pieterse and Janel Parrish as Alison and Mona is a particular highlight, with the two characters having a complicated history but still somehow managing to work together to solve the mystery.
The show also boasts a thrilling direction and cinematography, creating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere throughout. The use of slow-motion shots and dark lighting adds to the suspense and intrigue, keeping the viewer engaged and invested in the story.
Overall, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists is a fantastic continuation of the much-loved series, bringing together the elements that made its predecessor such a hit, with a fresh and engaging storyline. With an exceptional cast, an impressive direction, and a thrilling narrative, the show is a must-watch for fans of the mystery and thriller genre.
