Good Shows To Watch Like Pretty Little Liars
Okay, let's be real. We all went through a Pretty Little Liars phase. The endless mysteries! The questionable detective work! The fashion!
But what happens when you've binged all seven seasons (twice)? Where do you go next to get your fix of secrets, suspense, and stylish teens? Don't worry, I got you.
If You Loved the Mystery:
Veronica Mars
Kristen Bell as a sassy, smart teen detective? Yes, please! Veronica solves crimes, deals with high school drama, and has a whole lot of attitude.
Must Read
It's less about anonymous texts and more about good old-fashioned sleuthing. Plus, the soundtrack is killer.
One of Us Is Lying
Five students walk into detention, but only four come out alive. Sound familiar?
This show has twists, turns, and more red herrings than a fish market. Prepare to become obsessed.
For the Juicy Drama & Relationships:
Gossip Girl
Spotted: You, glued to your screen, watching the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite. Gossip Girl is basically PLL but with more money and less murder...usually.
Think anonymous blasts, secret identities, and enough relationship drama to fuel a thousand fanfics.
The OC
Welcome to Orange County, where the sun shines, the pools are sparkling, and everyone has a secret. Ryan Atwood arrives and shakes up the wealthy community of Newport Beach.
It's got drama, romance, and some truly iconic early 2000s fashion moments (for better or worse). Bonus: Ben McKenzie's eyebrows could solve a mystery on their own!
If You Liked the Thrills & Chills:
Scream Queens
Okay, this one is definitely more campy than creepy. But if you enjoyed the suspenseful moments of PLL, you might like this satirical slasher series.
A sorority house is terrorized by a masked killer. Expect over-the-top characters, ridiculous plot twists, and lots of fake blood.
Riverdale
Hear me out. I know Riverdale gets a lot of flak, but it's undeniably entertaining. A dark take on the Archie comics characters, Riverdale is a chaotic mix of murder, mysteries, and musical numbers.
It's so bad, it's good. You'll be hooked before you know it.
An Unpopular Opinion (Maybe):
Gilmore Girls
Wait, what? A show about a mother and daughter in a quirky small town? How is that like PLL?
Hear me out: Stars Hollow is full of secrets! Everyone is intertwined in each other's lives! Plus, Lorelai and Rory are master manipulators of conversation. It’s subtler than PLL, but the dynamics are definitely there. It's basically PLL with more coffee and less stalking.
So, there you have it. A few shows to fill the Pretty Little Liars-shaped hole in your heart. Happy binging!
