What I said from 1:36:43 to 1:36:46 made me laugh so much when editing, because it summarizes the show in a nutshell XD

i really wonder how my 16yo brain managed to understand this show perfectly but couldn't do basic math

Every time I hear a plot recap of this show, despite the fact that I watched it all when it was airing, I'm dumbstruck by the sheer AMOUNT of predatory age-gap relationships. Like why is basically EVERY adult in Rosewood apparently attracted to minors??? How tf did the writers think that was okay??? 💀

OMG "Aria marries her beloved groomer" took me 😂😂

“Maya knew how terrible the writers were?” “…. Was trying to warn us?” 😂

"I thought it would be significant, it meant nothing" 😂😂😂

Durag Toby still haunts me to this day

"Jenna was pretty annoying, so its a shame that they couldnt finish the job" LOOOOOL

He accidentally decapitated himself - what a hillarious sentence! xD

The hoodie! I love how committed you are to the bit. This community is so unserious. LMAO.

Aria as A has always been my favorite idea but I read this fic where WREN was actually A, he was Charles and it was really well thought out!

as someone who stopped watching ‘pretty little liars’ after season 4, i definitely needed this recap… thanks serena! 😌

If you all like multiple hours recaps of tv shows I recommend: Mike's Mic (Pretty Little Liars, Glee, Gossip Girl, Lost), Uncarley (Riverdale), Haley Whipjack (Once Upon a Time) ❤

Do you guys like my outfit today?? I committed to the theme

2:02:16 "It's Jenna and a horse that figure out Spencer isn't Spencer..." that got me chuckling, I love how hilarious the show was at the end, love your deep dives, you can make videos on PLL forever, you always make them entertaining

Dont know if you will mention this but I believe the writers deserve more criticism for the Ezra/Aria relationship than they got. I will always side eye them for making this couple endgame especially since in the books they were not endgame and I believe Ezra was arrested.

i actually commented on sara shephard's tiktok video about pll and asked "did you hate how they normalized pedophilia in the show?" and she liked my comment

NOT THE A ATTIRE LMAO

IM SO GLAD YOU RETURNED TO THIS SUBJECT! I cant get enough of other peoples' commentary on this show 😂

I love how you tried to focus on the real plot and made theories to explain the gaps, instead of focusing on the girls’ relationships (unhealthy most of the times) like the show does a LOT. You made a more practical way to see the story and the A plot. Thank youuuu

i just love that the too cece was wearing when she got arrested is the same top that ashley marin found in alis bedroom in the wedding fundraiser ep

I remember that I was memorizing lines and clues that could be important (I have a condition called hyperthymesia, so, yeah...), and made a notebook where I was noting all theories (personal and from others) and those lines and clues, to show the notebook to other fans and explaining every week the reasons why, connecting stuff from Ravenswood and Pretty Dirty Secrets to explain -A a little better... I even had a theory that every single mystery would be answered in that night Alison disappeared, that the final episode would play all the events from that night in chronological order with a huge "that happened 😳😵!!!" vibe... Then I burned the notebook after I watched the last episode 😑. No one wanted anyway 🤗😅. Edit: I remember when the "Alison was alive this whole time!!!" episode was released, that when Alison said "remembered what I told you in the hospital" to Hanna, I paused the episode and recited that whole dialogue from the hospital to my friend and to my cousin; that day was wild 😂.

They keep fucking lying all the time 😂 It's so satisfying to have all these plotholes and ridiculousnesses recognised (feel like I've waited for years for this)

Liking so I can watch it after work. I really wish they would have kept Mona motive being she was in the same room with Jenna and got burned and was targeting the girls because 1) they blind Jenna, 2) they burnt her torso 3) Toby got blamed. And kept the next A more so like the books.

This is so unhinged & I love it.

33:55 is probably the funniest moment of this entire video 😭 YEARS LATER AND WE STILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT MAYA KNEW WHY MARLENE KING

** grabs popcorn and blanket **

JUS AS IVE BEEN CRAVING PLLLLLLLL

After 7 years I’m still traumatised from that awful finale still angry to this day why just why I want Marlene king to explain why she decided to do it ugh they should’ve let wren and Melissa the final -A and erase everything post season 6finale

This is exactly what I didn’t know I needed but definitely did

i will never get tired of your pll videos

Honestly, the show would have been a lot better if it had just followed the plot of the books. There would still be plenty of plot twists, suspense, and mystery, and it probably would have been a really good show.

I remember after the series finale there was this hour long special with Marlene King where she was being interviewed, she was going to explain everything, all the clues and tie up any loose ends that the show didn't tie up. She couldn't explain anything, also your show shouldn't need a special to help you tie up plot points and questions. I still maintain someone else was supposed to be big A (I've seen Wren's name being thrown around that he was supposed to be big A) but people figured it out and Marlene's ego couldn't handle that so she changed it.

There is so much nonsense in this show and that always bugged me because I need logic. Even if it is a supernatural show, it needs to have logical storylines and folklore that makes sense in the shows context. But PLL never made sense to me, especially after they introduced supernatural elements but in the next episode actedlikr nothing happened. But what bugged me to most, is the ridiculous timeline 😅 come on, seaosn 3 to season 6 is supposed to be one school year ?????😅

I’m so excited to watch this later!! also the black hoodie I gasped

I don’t think Aria has an personality disorder but I do think something was mentally wrong with her. if we’re talking theories mine is Aria was in a mental hospital during Byron’s “sabbatical”. They never really spoke about Iceland. If she went to a mental hospital in a different state that would make sense as to why her records were at Radley.

I’m smiling and laughing so hard watching this video , this month has been a bit rough so this video couldn’t have come at a better time this show is my favorite that you cover can’t wait to finish your video 🫶🏽

I want to start by saying that I have only seen the pilot because it grossed me out so I dipped, but I have seen all of your videos (and of other creators), so I think I have a good grasp of the show, generally. I love your videos because they feel like a friend telling a story, I love your asides and wish they'd descend fully into unhinged rants, I'm sure you have them in you lol. My one criticism - Serena, gurl, you *need* a fugly Vivian Darkbloom, evil twin wig for any future PLL videos, you just need one. For the lolz. In the spirit of the insane nature of the show, you should embrace the idiocy and go for it. What about this for an batshit A reveal - it's *all* of the trashiest trash men in Rosewood. Throw in Ezra, throw in Byron, throw in all of crappy (male) love interests; the boys had the gross ass high school creep club, so upon discovering about A they figured, hey why not, they could control the girls for their own particular reasons from the shadows, and indulge in their darker impulses (stalking, gaslighting, kidnapping, torturing, killing, whatever). Seems like women were always A, to the plot's detriment. It would force Marlene to commit to making the men accountable and out in the open acknowledged as the fucking worst though, so there is that. Alternatively, Ezra, Aria and Allison as A - his two muses. And of course they would eventually turn on him because, he deserves nothing less.

At some point I was on jenny side the girl took her eyesight so she had every right to hate them

I bet Aria was always put in boxes because she was so tiny, easier for the set builders to navigate

I might be wrong but I thought that they put the stink bomb in to get Toby because Alison said he was watching them get changed but Jenna was accidentally the victim instead?

I challenge you to rewrite the show! Networks are eating reboots up these days girl, you should legit try to pitch it and see what happens honestly.

Guys I knew Serena was A and y’all didn’t believe me 😂

It took me several attempts rewatching to make it through this entire show. I stopped watching sometime during season 5 when it was on T.V. and every subsequent rewatch I would only make it that far as well. That is , until this last time. I finally finished it! And it was absolutely ridiculous.

In 26:05 you mentioned how the black swan novel is about a dancer with DID (dissociative identity disorder), that is not what the book is about. The black swan book is about "how unlikely events dramatically change our lives if they do happen, as well as what you can do to become better at expecting the unexpected". It's basically a philosophy book. I think what you meant was the movie "Black Swan" which is different than the play "Swan Lake" lol. And in the movie the main character doesn't have DID. She develops schizophrenia and it is also said she has OCD because of her fixation on achieving perfection. You also said that the DID tracks with Aria's personality. She never showed any signs of it, or at least I didn't noticed. Because of her outbursts of anger, maybe she has bipolar??? Idk. She seems to have anxiety and ptsd, but pretty much the whole group has that.

Better than the AD reveal since you are rocking the hoodie!😘🖤

I binge-watched pll just to see your videos about it, I'm so happy for this new video ❤

The idea for who the final ‘A’ should have been, is BRILLIANT. I’ll be the first to admit that for ME, despite her great acting, I never really liked Aria very much. But I think I would have LOVED her if she and Ezra had been A together and were master manipulating the entire thing! And Lucy Hale would have ATE that! I just KNOW she would have had SO much fun doing it and it would've been phenomenal! Side note: Either Ali should have stayed dead, or been a mystery (like is she dead? Or not? Aka her body was never found, but she was never seen again yet her presence is always felt), or she still returned but her “redemption arc” was her still being sort of mean and manipulative but RETAINING her skills and intelligence! Imagine HER and Aria facing off, followed by individual one-on-one face offs with the rest of the girls (somehow, maybe they’re all kidnapped and locked up and one after another manages to escape). We could see how EACH girl would deal with this incredible betrayal by the friend they thought they knew and be backed by the one they thought was worse (Ali). Mona too. Ali, Mona, and Spencer as the smartest ones but ALL the girls being badass and figuring things out, and developed equally well (poor Emily. I loved her in spite of it all). Also Maya never dies, she returns and ends up with Emily, bringing their love full circle, while Alison stays happy to be the femme fatale (ish) girl she was always meant to be, not a housewife.

Regarding Ian, he did survive the fall at the church. Allison says in the season 4 finale that she saw him walking out of the church. I believe Marlene confirmed in an interview that Ian did commit suicide and the confession note was planted by A.

the vivian darkblook subplot is heavily misconstrued, the motive behind the second identity was to figure out who A was. Which is why she’s only ever Vivian when she went to Brookhaven. idk if it was aria or spencer but one of them say “when Ali put that wig on she meant business” and the context of the convo is she didn’t wear the disguise for leisure & they’re trying to figure out why she made the identity

I am so freaking excited… starting right now while I’m sitting on the bus home. Thank you Serena❤❤

Pretty little liars is my comfort show and I can’t even tell you how many times that I’ve watched it but I still cannot understand or wrap my brain around the last season. I just cannot for the life of me understand would actually even happened lol. 😂😂😂

Yes, yes, I am 100% here for this, let's go

Literally just finished my latest rewatch of PLL yesterday. I've got my popcorn and my hoodie ready.

this is like the gazillionth PLL vid of urs ive watched ive been here from the beginning lmao i CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DONT HAVE MORE SUBS WTAF THIS IS PURE QUALITY CONTENT

I gave up on this show after a few seasons (why did they drag it out for so long 😭) so I’m excited to finally get the full recap in 2 hours 🎉

Just dropped everything I was doing to watch. How you managed to get this video to only TWO HOURS is an achievement of its own, aha. xo

I never understood why the girls never suspected each other. The girls never seemed close especially in the flashbacks.

I think what I like about PLL is the vibes. It was addictive and pretty. Not to mention the effects they used for the past made it seem almost....ethereal. I also like the mind games and dangers they faced because of A. Alison was a very interesting character early on. I also liked how the night she disappeared she helped Spencer and it showed that she had a softer side to her. I would've loved for The Liars to have been morally grey, it would've been interesting to see how things would've changed (how they handled A, any plans they would've had, their secrets, etc.) I would've loved to see the girls doing their own mind games and kidnapping and threatening people while trying to find out who A was and keeping their secrets a secret, etc. I also think the predator relationships should've been treated as actual predators and that the girls dealt with them. Some legally others illegally which would've been more ammunition for A. Honestly, this show should've been more mature. Also if they all had dark sides it would make sense why they were drawn to one another because of this and because they were useful to each other but also to to some degree genuinely loved one another (and they become closer because of A.) I would've also liked the girls to not just have been bystanders and chose to commit their own dubious actions instead of it all being Allison. I liked that none of the Liars were A (that it was a monster of their own making,) and I also liked the scene when they were stuck in the car and the dollhouse episodes. I didn't like that there was multiple A's. I would've preferred if it was just Mona and her accomplices and that the show didn't have as many seasons. I feel like it should've had five seasons (13 or 15 episodes each.) I also wished Allison's character hadn't changed so much. I did like that she became a better person, but she was SO different. I wish they showed the intelligence, they kept saying Spencer had instead of it being so up and down (I think they didn't properly know how to protray high levels of iq. I know it's hard trying to wrap your mind around a gifted mind enough to protray it without being exposed to geniuses or being one yourself.) I also wished that the weird relationship Spencer had with her sister was expanded on or maybe made more clear/explicit (maybe they were both jealous of each other and often double crossed, one-up each other, etc,) and maybe her parents weren't emotionally available and pushed academic excellence on both of them, causing Spencer to gain a drug addiction and something for Melissa (maybe she seeked validation from men or maybe she used them as a distraction? Either or.) I also wished Emily had better subplots and that she and Allison didn't ended up together (honestly all of Emily's love intrests were weird.) I also wished they were drawn to their love intrest for a reason. Maybe they brought out their good sides, were grounding, calming etc and I did like how involved they were, but they could've been more useful. I also liked how everyone had secrets but I wish it was all tied together clearly and connected to A, Allison's disappearance, and the girl's secrets. Even the dirty cop guy. Maybe he was already on A's team but took Hannah's shoplifting to lord his power over Hannah and her mom or something and maybe he could've be one of the first the Liars get rid of. I like the idea of even the "good character," doing bad things to survive and they gradually become better (not completely good but better,) people but maybe they were already on their journey because of Allison's disappearanc. Speaking of her disappearance, I wished the year and months she was gone were explained. Also the episode when they meet should've just been a continuous flip flop from the night she disappeared and her time away and her telling the story to the girls. Specifically after something triggering or important is shown. Also with the scar on Allison's leg. Was she SA'd or was the guy cutting her up? Either way it could've showed a bit of that then flashed to Allison and the girls crying and holding one another AND FOR GOD'S SAKE IF THEY WANTED TO ADD THE SUPERNATURAL INTO THE MIX THEY SHOULD'VE DONE THAT SOONER AND MORE CLEARLY!!! but I personally don't think it was needed.

Me and my wife watched the show (pre/during pandemic), and I was so upset by the ending, and I needed someone to talk about it... my wife didn't really seem to care. So, I looked up PLL stuff on YT, and that's when I found the 1st. Video (it hadn't been uploaded very long), with promises for more... 3 years later, I am still not happy with the ending, and I listen to Skyborne whenever she talks about PLL lol.

Spencer trying to hide the fact that her sisters bfs kissed her as if she isn't a VICTIM! Melissa picks creeps and rides for them so hard. The whole Ian thing was ridiculous. Like girl, stand up! You're Melissa fucking Hastings!

Guys, did I understand it wrong or cece and jason were not related. Think about it. Jason is the son of Jessica D. + Peter Hastings, and Cece/Charlote is the daughter of Mr. D and Mary Drake, because Jessica literally stole her twin sister’s daughter. So they were never related, and she is Alison’s sibling and cousin, and she is Spencer’s sibling too. HOW CRAZY AND NONSENSE IS THIS SHOW OMG

I'm never ever gonna get tired of your PLL videos.

I believe they should’ve done a prequal to the series of where Alison became so mean to Mona in middle school all the way to when she went missing. Idk why I think that would’ve been great! Instead of doing the perfectionists

i was so deep in the trenches of pll that my freshmen year we wrote letters to our senior selves as a class assignment, and mine was just a page of A theories. and we had to write letters to our future selves in my senior year and it was just about the perfectionists.

THE SHEER UNHINGED DEDICATION OF THIS!

Unpopular opinion- the worst part of the show was the main 4 liars. It revoled way too much around them when they had nothing to do with most stuff. Like up to season 2 everything is fine ,the motive is logical with Mona being bullied and her only friend being taken away by the other 3 ,AND AFTERWARDS ITS A SHITSHOW! The fact that half of the side characters(like Mona) were wayyyyy more interesting than the liars themselves tells a lot imo. They should have stuck to one plot and make either Melissa or Aria A,not random twin from London ... and the doll house being 2 episodes was CRIMINAL. It deserved half a season! The show for me has too much wasted potential in favor of giving the viewers what they want- their boring cringe love interests( aria and ezra is even criminal) ,which took too much screentime,too much unneccesary drama and that was ultimately their downfall

I remember seeing old Aria is A theories about her relation to Bethany Young and how that could have been how Eddie Lambert recognised her as Aria could have been family, either a cousin or sister (because there were references to a mentally unstable uncle). If the story line between Alison, Bethany and Sara had been more serial killer recreating crimes it would make total sense for Aria to be A and Vivian Darkbloom, because if Alison looks like Bethany and Bethany looks like Aria, she could have been using that as her A disguise.

YAAAYYY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU HUN.. I honestly started watching desperate housewives and i can’t wait to finish the whole thing to see your videos about it 😢

I think Mona was on the Halloween train and was the one who felt Hannah up, because she says later after the lodge fire, something like and to think we were this close to our first kiss

we might need a couple of more seasons like PLL: Filling in Plot holes PLL: Clearing all Confusion PLL: The Timeline PLL: Melissa Edition

This was my favourite show for study breaks back in the day. I rewatched it so many times, it was my comfort show😊

well, i have never seen this show but I needed some background noise while working. Finished the whole video in one sitting. I didn't know anything going in and I think I understand even less now. Someone died maybe? Things happened, they're in a place, someone kissed, cliff hanger, time travel, dumb ending? I have no idea what just happened.

cant wait, i stopped watching after s4 or 5 (i stopped having cable lmaooooo) and the show kinda got away from me and i miss it. i'm planning to revisit soon. this is so fun for me because yes, i've seen to season 4 but still need that shit explained by serena 😂😂❤

Just started rewatching this show and there is a lot of blurred boundaries with interpersonal connections and toxic family dynamics. Basically lots of 🚩🚩🚩‼️

I found your channel after being obsessed with Mikes Mic 3 part series. I so happy to see your deep dive so I can get my pretty little liars fix again

I was on reddit and saw this upload

I love your pll videos sm and I’m so glad you made this video 💜💜

Oh. My. God. Thank you.❤

In my opinion…I wouldn’t say unserious but unrealistic. The first two seasons were great. It was relatable but after that it just went down hill. Still love watching it though. Love you Serena!

This was so good. I would love to see a deep dive for the show Greek. I loved it in high school and no one else remembers it.

Beloved groomer 💀

I love how its possible to see the life getting out of you as you dive deeper in this insanity

FINE, I'll rewatch the show again 😂😂

1:11:29 basically after Spencer & Alison had their fight of course Spencer picked up the shovel & swung at Alison but put missed & dropped her pills. Ali told her to go back to sleep & Spencer drugged the shovel behind her & dropped it on her way to the barn. Later that night Bethany & Cece left Radley & Cece saw Alison thinking it was Bethany & hit her with a rock. Jessica buried Ali & sent Cece back to Radley with Wilden when he was still a newbie cop. Mrs. Grunwald pulled Alison out & took her to the hospital but Alison ran away but at the same time Mona saw Bethany in the backyard waiting for Jessica & picked up the shovel & hit her with it thinking it was Alison. Mona ran away & got in her car to drive home. Melissa saw a blonde on the ground after hearing Spencer fight with Alison she thought Spencer hit Alison so she pushed her in the hole Alison came out of. So while Mona was driving home she saw Alison & was shocked but still took her to the Lost Woods where she convinced her to fake her death & run away.

I've never seen pretty little liars, but I will gladly watch this two hour video about it lol

SLAYED

Gosh I love you so much!! This will be goodddd. Keep pll alive forever

One of your best videos Serena!!!

58:08 Alison was calling her for help & information about🅰️that’s how Tippy got the phone number. Alison made a connection with Mrs.Grunwald so because she’s psychic she did feel something wrong & was worried about Alison. So when she walked into her backyard & saw Ali’s hand sticking out of the ground she had to pull

i needed this long video today thank you😫🙏

Give us warning about hot mike 😂

When I rewatched the series from beginning to end and realized that seasons like 3-4 or something like that were meant to be like two months time I felt like I was losing my mind

incredible serena 🤣❤️ excited for this watch - 🅰️

Haha loved the outfit and the vid, you’re the best :)

Isn't it funny? Since the 80s it's always people these days they don't have an attention span longer than an MTV music video (yes young people they used to play music 😂) now it's not longer than a tik tok. Yet from 5 hour lawtube streams, to people watching entire trials to hours and hours of deep dives about movies and TV shows, people spent many hours on KZfaq

I need to know your thought of the actress that plays Jenna and Paige making a PLL podcast! And how they stole their podcast name from a smaller creator

Your wrong Melissa lost the baby so she didn’t she didn’t want to tell anybody because she already lost Ian and it was too much to lose the baby too

This was great and also your hair looks gorgeous in this video

“I got so worked up and it literally meant nothing” could honestly sum up the whole show
