This should have not been a spin off of Pretty Little Liars

Warning: Spoilers
First of all this should've never been a spin off of Pretty Little Liars (PLL). It is ridiculous how they made up the whole town that we never heard about in the last 3 years and Allie supposedly lived there, it had A's hiding place and some woman who's psychic. Not only that but PLL is realistic, yes far-fetched realistic but not supernatural. I don't know how they could do a spin off and make it supernatural. The worst part was how they wrote the whole scene with Hanna telling Caleb to stay with some girl they just met to protect her while she is still dealing with A. Then Caleb was like okay. Really?! He's just going to stop caring about protecting Hanna and just start protecting some girl he just met. Talk about bad writing. Maybe if they didn't have this as a spin off I wouldn't be so hard on the show. But they pumped up all the PLL's fans to get all hyped up about the show and then disappoint them.

Rating the show without comparing it to PLL. I would have to say that it has a horrible plot-line. It's about a ghost trying to off 5 teens because a person came back from war that was a sole survived of a attack. Apparently the ghost has killed these teens twice before which doesn't make any sense. Obviously the ghost has to do with the flood in the past that nearly wiped out the whole town. The ghost looks like every lame ghost girl in those chain letters that you get in an email or on Facebook. Another thing I don't get is all the adults seem to know what's going on but yet none of them will tell the teens anything.

I love Caleb's character on PLL. However in this show I have noticed some characteristic change on him. I am not liking that. There's also something off about the acting. There doesn't seem to be much chemistry between the actors. The show does not make sense and shouldn't of been connected with PLL. I don't see this show making it especially if they're banking on the PLL's fans to like it. The fans just don't see the connection and are too invested into PLL. Plus if Caleb ever breaks up with Hannah and gets with anybody else it would cause an up roar.
