I'm quite clearly here for traffic.

Need something new to watch and this seems to fit with what I love (gossip girl took over my life for a year)

Gonna try it tonight I think? If it's crap please let me know with no spoilers so I don't waste my time...

Jesus no. Save yourself. 7 seasons in and it was total waste of time...

louisejxxx · 20/05/2017 22:21

YANBU - it's amazing!

MsJolly · 20/05/2017 22:21

Definitely do it! It's my guilty pleasure!

MrsWire · 20/05/2017 22:21

It's absolutely shite. Don't bother.

louisejxxx · 20/05/2017 22:21

Although I should add that has taken almost everyone I know that watches it a few episodes to get into it...so you have to persist and not just turn it off after 1 and never come back again.

FaithAgain · 20/05/2017 22:22

I've watched them all but I have an awful feeling it'll be like LOST in the end Confused

Teddy6767 · 20/05/2017 22:23

It was great until series 5 and then it started to get ridiculous. Finding series 7 really silly and boring. I'd definitely recommend the first few series though as I was totally hooked, but just prepare yourself for later disappoIntments

emilyk315 · 20/05/2017 22:26

You should definitely watch it!

QueenMortificado · 20/05/2017 22:29

It's brilliant. Up until season 4-5 then it gets way too ridiculous

GinSolvesEverything · 20/05/2017 22:30

It's utter drivel but strangely compelling. Worth it for the outfits at least as it's got the most ridiculous storylines.

Have you done Gilmore Girls?

bambisims · 20/05/2017 22:34

Gossip girl I've rewatched around 6 times (start to end) PLL will not disappoint!! I'm jealous you're at the start while I'm desperately waiting for the next episode to be released 😳😳

MargotLovedTom1 · 20/05/2017 22:34

It was very entertaining at first, but I gave up after a few seasons when I couldn't remember who the hell was good, bad, in cahoots or enemies. I had quite the crush on Ezra though, and then Aria's brother Mike when he'd filled out a bit - phwoooargh.

Sophiesausage · 20/05/2017 22:40

Only do it if you are willing to commit!! I am watching the final episodes hoping in probable vain for some answers. Just know that literally you will know no more now than you will in seven seasons time. Tbf, just start watching season seven!

PatMullins · 20/05/2017 22:44

It's absolute shit arse, don't bother.

VanessaBet · 20/05/2017 22:47

Noooo, don't do it. I think I managed 2 seasons and then realised there were never going to be any answers. I wanted something brainless for my laptop for when I'm cooking/cleaning bathroom etc but honestly it's really too annoying

theclick · 20/05/2017 22:48

I tried to love it but honestly it's shit. Eight episodes in and I still couldn't tell where it was going. Watch Billions instead. The plot line actually moves.

Fluffyears · 20/05/2017 22:48

I just started it a few weeks ago and I'm confused, why weee these 15 year olds going away with men for weekends etc?

YellowLily · 20/05/2017 22:51

I loved gossip girl - also took over my life Grin but just could not get into PLL. I've watched the first five or so, would you say I should try a few more louisej?

PodgeBod · 20/05/2017 22:57

Nah don't bother. I enjoyed it at first but now I only watch it because DP is obsessed Hmm the writers are clearly making it up as they go along and one of the main relationships is downright creepy and every time they are on the screen I want to shout at it.

Bleurghghghgh · 20/05/2017 22:59

Crikey I've split opinion! Will try tonight and see how I get on. I need something to binge watch on the weekends and look forward to watching in bed with an early night in the week.
If I don't get into it I'll rewatch GG. it was due anyway Grin

YABU. unless you have the next month free to watch every single episode back to back. In which case carry on Grin

burnoutbabe · 20/05/2017 23:27

I've been in from the start, and looking forward to the final 7 or so.

WHO IS A? and Uber A? and AD???????

I'd pick up something like Supergirl maybe, or even Glee or really anything, the stories are much more self contained. this is 7 seasons of well nothing much progressing!!!

Bleurghghghgh · 21/05/2017 01:45

I LOVE IT

furryelephant · 21/05/2017 02:21

You can wave goodbye to any sleep or social life for the foreseeable future Grin

Supersoaryflappypigeon · 21/05/2017 07:41

I love it but in a sort of "ffs really?!? Are they really going to go there? Wtf were the writers thinking?!" way.

It helps if you go to the pll subreddit and watch it with a SOH I think.
