Why does this show have have too be canceled? I understand some people don't like it but I LOVE it. This show is so interesting and confusing at the same time. Everybody could tell it was by I. Marlene King from all the twists and the mysteries. I know she has Pretty Little Liars too and this was just a spin-off show from that but Ravenswood is it's own show now. It is amazing and I couldn't believe it when I found out it was canceled. The season finale for the first season of Ravenswood was so great and it made you want to watch so much more, you started off with more questions than you originally had from the first episode - Pilot - but in the back of my mind I knew it had been cancelled. If there was absolutely any way for this show too be "UN-Cancelled" than I vote they start thinking up those ideas right NOW because there is some very angry fans of this show who will do whatever they can too get this up and running again. Email I. Marlene King and demand her to continue because this show is too amazing to stop on that note.
... View MoreThis PLL spin-off is so bad, it's hard to know where to begin. I am a huge fan of supernatural dramas, but this show doesn't make any sense. First of all, I have seen every episode of PLL and always thought of it as a mystery/drama and have not thought about the series from a supernatural angle whatsoever. How can you make a spin-off centered around ghosts and evil spirits when these types of elements do not (or aren't supposed to) exist in the original show? Am I now led to believe that there are supernatural elements in PLL? These are not questions fans should have to ask themselves during the 4th season of a series.The way Ravenswood became a spin-off doesn't make sense either. Hanna (who is being stalked and harassed by "A" on a fairly consistent basis) sends her boyfriend (who has been focused on protecting her) off to a creepy town to "look after" Miranda (a girl neither one of them knows). The main plot of the show thus far is that these 5 teens have been marked for death, and are trying to figure a way out of it. I have an interest in Caleb staying alive, because I care about his character. There is no reason why I should/would care about any of the other people in Ravenswood. There is absolutely no character development, just side plots that make the show seem messy and confusing. The fact that almost all of the actors are horrible is icing on the cake. Is it really that hard to drop their Canadian accents?The only reason I have kept watching Ravenswood is because I didn't want to be lost when it came to crossover episodes. Unfortunately, I'm still lost. I hope the show gets canceled and that Tyler Blackburn (Caleb) will go back to playing a regular on PLL. Although, I'm not sure how that can happen now that he has developed a sixth sense and ghosts are not supposed to exist in PLL universe. Ravenswood is a disaster!
... View MoreWatching 'Ravenswood' is like stumbling upon a series nearing its end. The characters and focus are so narrow, you get the feeling you missed important stuff that led us to this point.So how sad that 'Ravenswood' is only halfway into its first season, and it's taking liberties & shortcuts only long-established shows should be allowed to take.From the start, 'Ravenswood' makes the assumption that you know & love its characters. Good shows ease into heavy plot, allowing viewers to experience the characters as normal people with real lives/relationships/quirks. Not so with 'Ravenswood'...the show quickly gathers its cast & dumps them into a supernatural mystery.To make things worse, 'Ravenswood' then makes the assumption that its supernatural mystery payoff is so good...viewers will endure one unexplained supernatural event after another. And that's basically what the show amounts to ("BOO!", 5 minutes later "BOO!", 8 minutes later "BOO!"...tune in next week when..."BOO!"). You are given very little to contextualize what is going on & why, so the show leaves you bored and exhausted.This was not the original promise of 'Ravenswood'. When the series was first teased on 'Pretty Little Liars'...Ravenswood was presented as a peculiar community inhabited by almost-Amish residents. They seemed to have a unique culture & were fearful of outsiders. You got the sense that whatever their secret was...they were all in-on-it in some way or another. As a viewer, you wanted "in" as well.But then the series began, and Ravenswood was basically presented like any other podunk town - with mostly boring people, and a couple of creepy weirdos.I wanted this show to succeed. But as it is executed, I believe it should be quietly brought to an end.
... View MoreWhen i heard about "ravenswood" it sounded like some good mystery plot , but as i finished the pilot episode it came out to be an extended version of pretty little liars, everything is so confusing from starting to end and makes you wonder where you heading to. Seems like slowly in the series they will introduce all the main characters from Pretty little liars and at the end you will realize that you have ended up watching Pretty little liars instead of Ravenswood Characters are very dull and very weak in their acting, the scary parts in the series are like scary movie, not scary at all. This series is just going to disappoint you to the core.
