Wow

It was so great because I could suspend disbelief for those storylines and they had enough mystery scenes while creating characters we enjoyed. Now we don't get any answers, friendship scenes, or anything the least bit scary. I loved seeing the PLLs and their parents, the high school setting, and the old A texts.

Agreed, the first two seasons are just so enjoyable to watch.

Yes the first 2 season are really amazing. Even though crazy things happen they're the most "believable" seasons to me. Seasons 3-4 are good too but start getting silly, and season 5 is when it falls apart.

Just started watching PLL on Netflix..just finished season 2..love it!!

I wish it could have been just as good. This show could have been amazing!!

I'm pretty convinced that the big factor that changed (aside from just the quality of writing as a whole) was the focus in 'maturity'. not even in terms of content, so much as the exploraiton of the show.

season 2 and 2 were about childhood. they were about dealing with the demons of yesteryear and using them as a reason to grow into the adult you needed to be.

season 3 had a littttle bit of that but it was largely transitional. by season 4 the echoes of the past had been more or less dropped, and focused more on the future, which may seem like the next logical step but it was boring.

intentional or not, the themes explored in season 1/2 were far greater than 3 onward.

Sara: are you a sour lemon?

For a lot of us fans, they are. I felt season 3 has it moments while season 4 was kinda start of the decline.
