I was quite unsure about watching this show, based on all the negative reviews here and the fact that even thought I do watch PLL, I am more into shows like Supernatural etc, but I decided to give it a go..and I am glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised by this show, actually when I was watching PLL episode where Caleb and Miranda discovered the gravestones with their names and photos on, I was thinking that I'd like to know more about that than watching the never ending chasing after "A" and Allison, and that is exactly what Ravenswood delivers. It's an interesting show and in my opinion it is worth watching. I like the characters of Caleb and Miranda the most, he's actually my favourite male character in PLL, so having him as a main character in Ravenswood is a bonus and his chemistry with Miranda is great , I kind of hope he'll eventually find a way to get together with Miranda ( sorry Hanna, I do like you in PLL but they would look good together) - even though in Miranda's current situation I'm not sure how that would be possible? The characters of Olivia and her brother are not so convincing, but that might change over time, we are only few episodes in. Definitely worth watching, perhaps more for people who are not totally into PLL and can think of this as a separate show.

I just started watching the show. The first 2 episodes where a little short on the plot line, but the third and fourth where great. I personally don't like the way the connection between Pretty Little Liars and Ravenswood was made. It would probably have been a better start for the show if the first episode would actually show how Caleb got to Ravenswood, not making this part be in a special episode on Pretty Little Liars. After all I can just say that this might turn out to be a great show ... even if it is nothing like Pretty Little Liars and it would probably just have been better to keep the shows separatet and not so much connected. Lets wait and see what comes next .. what may the writers have in store for us?

Honestly, some of the people who write reviews for this show are just plain mean. They say "OMG I watched the pilot and it was so freaking horrible, I couldn't go on I had to stop!" blah blah blah blah! So freaking what? A lot of shows don't turn out so perfect at first. I didn't even like Pretty Little Liars when I first watched it but I gave it a shot anyway and now I'm probably one of the biggest fans of the show. Yeah, maybe it's not as good as it could have turned out, but it does get better. The acting might not be as good as Pretty Little Liars, but even they weren't as good as they are now! If you watched the Pilot of the show it was terrible, they had no chemistry and everything! But look at them now, they're just amazing. You have to give them some time to get used to each other. I love Ravenswood after watching the third episode because it really does get interesting. If you really don't like it, then maybe you're not into these type of shows. That's all I can say.

I don't know why they made this series. Firstly it is no Pretty Little Liars at all. So fans of PLL will be disappointed. Without the charming beautiful cast of PLL all they have is a rather insipid half baked pseudo supernatural mystery drama that has no romance, no thrills or excitement. Tyler Blackburn of PLL isn't enough to lead a spin off. Nicole Gale Anderson from Beauty and the Beast either. They are both fine supporting cast but with the other unknown newcomers this series has an amateurish second rate feel.After several episodes nothing much has happened except one death, re-appearance as a ghost and a rather lame mystery about teen deaths to be solved. Plus some spaced out looking adults. The town isn't spooky just dull. And it's really slow moving. This spin off is really a mistake. Can't see it lasting too long.
