SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Cassandra Eleonora PLL has many dark twists and turns but they never seem to last long. I feel like given the short explanations we were given about Ravenswood during those episodes I was over the moon with the idea of a spin-off series. It definitely built the suspense like PLL does and pulled on the heart strings all the same. Wish there was more! I feel like so much of Pretty Little Liars dives into the lives of the 5 girls, where as Ravenswood really let you see it from another perspective. It made you realize there was so much more to the lives of the characters surrounding the girls and I though the plot line was the right amount of mysterious. I really hope they chose to pick the series up again as I know many people who were disappointed in the end of the show.

Petra Callaghan I was quite unsure about watching this show, based on all the negative reviews here and the fact that even thought I do watch PLL, I am more into shows like Supernatural etc, but I decided to give it a go..and I am glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised by this show, actually when I was watching PLL episode where Caleb and Miranda discovered the gravestones with their names and photos on, I was thinking that I'd like to know more about that than watching the never ending chasing after "A" and Allison, and that is exactly what Ravenswood delivers. It's an interesting show and in my opinion it is worth watching. I like the characters of Caleb and Miranda the most, he's actually my favourite male character in PLL, so having him as a main character in Ravenswood is a bonus and his chemistry with Miranda is great , I kind of hope he'll eventually find a way to get together with Miranda ( sorry Hanna, I do like you in PLL but they would look good together) - even though in Miranda's current situation I'm not sure how that would be possible? The characters of Olivia and her brother are not so convincing, but that might change over time, we are only few episodes in. Definitely worth watching, perhaps more for people who are not totally into PLL and can think of this as a separate show.

karuqaster When i heard about "ravenswood" it sounded like some good mystery plot , but as i finished the pilot episode it came out to be an extended version of pretty little liars, everything is so confusing from starting to end and makes you wonder where you heading to. Seems like slowly in the series they will introduce all the main characters from Pretty little liars and at the end you will realize that you have ended up watching Pretty little liars instead of Ravenswood Characters are very dull and very weak in their acting, the scary parts in the series are like scary movie, not scary at all. This series is just going to disappoint you to the core.

solitaryphoenix I've been watching Pretty Little Liars since the start of the show. I enjoy it, especially since I can watch it with my now 17-year-old daughter, and we started watching Ravenswood as well together. PLL is not a great show, there are plot holes, story lines that have never really been resolved, and 'mysteries' that have been drawn out forever. The acting ranges from really good to mediocre. But... it's one of those 'addictive' shows that you just keep watching, because you need to know what the heck happens next.Ravenswood is brought to us by the same people that brought PLL to life on TV (PLL started out as a young adult book series, but apparently it does deviate from the books). The only things Ravenswood and PLL have in common is the state they're located in (Pennsylvania; Ravenswood and Rosewood, the town PLL is set in are neighboring fictional towns), the fact that the leads are young people/teenagers, and Caleb Rivers, the only character to actually move from PLL to Ravenswood as a regular cast member. Just being a fan of PLL isn't going to guarantee you enjoy Ravenswood, unless you're also a horror/supernatural fan. The show started out a little slow and confusing for the first couple of episodes, but the latest one, the third one in, things really started coming together, and I can see some real potential for it being a pretty good show. At this point, I can definitely say we'll be continuing to watch Ravenswood.
