7/10 I feel this season lost a lot of focus and excitement, And forward momentum. Still good but definitely not that crazy epic fun that previous seasons have had. "A" hardly messaged and their were episodes where We didn't hear a thing from "A" at all. Even this seasons Halloween Special was A risky move to use it as a back door to a spin-off Show that actually got it's ass cancelled after Just 10 episodes 1 season so that Clearly Didn't work out. The Halloween Specials Are my absolute favourite As well so to have one Wasted to try something new was a gamble that Failed. This season did pick up Towards the last couple of episodes but that was a Hella lot to sieve through To get to the totally Awesome stuff. I'm totally still onboard With this show and I love it 3000 And I am super Stoked For season 5 And hopefully it's back To form and going to Be a fun,mad crazy Thrilling journey as the Battle continues Between The A-Team vs Team-PLL.

8/10 Great season But not as focused are as strong as the previous 2. After that phenomenal 13th episode it seem to lose some forward momentum. It needed the Wow WTF shocks to really drive the second half of this season across the finish line. That being said it was a lovely finale with a good Link to kick season 4 Off. This show is so Frickin Awesome amazing that is without A doubt and I am Very very exciting to See what thrills and spills Season 4 has in store. PRETTY LITTLE LIARS WILL RETURN
