This should have not been a spin off of Pretty Little Liars

[harben73-801-65136 · 5/10 · 24 October 2013]

First of all this should've never been a spin off of Pretty Little Liars (PLL). It is ridiculous how they made up the whole town that we never heard about in the last 3 years and Allie supposedly lived there, it had A's hiding place and some woman who's psychic. Not only that but PLL is realistic, yes far-fetched realistic but not supernatural. I don't know how they could do a spin off and make it supernatural. The worst part was how they wrote the whole scene with Hanna telling Caleb to stay with some girl they just met to protect her while she is still dealing with A. Then Caleb was like okay. Really?! He's just going to stop caring about protecting Hanna and just start protecting some girl he just met. Talk about bad writing. Maybe if they didn't have this as a spin off I wouldn't be so hard on the show. But they pumped up all the PLL's fans to get all hyped up about the show and then disappoint them.

Rating the show without comparing it to PLL. I would have to say that it has a horrible plot-line. It's about a ghost trying to off 5 teens because a person came back from war that was a sole survived of a attack. Apparently the ghost has killed these teens twice before which doesn't make any sense. Obviously the ghost has to do with the flood in the past that nearly wiped out the whole town. The ghost looks like every lame ghost girl in those chain letters that you get in an email or on Facebook. Another thing I don't get is all the adults seem to know what's going on but yet none of them will tell the teens anything.

I love Caleb's character on PLL. However in this show I have noticed some characteristic change on him. I am not liking that. There's also something off about the acting. There doesn't seem to be much chemistry between the actors. The show does not make sense and shouldn't of been connected with PLL. I don't see this show making it especially if they're banking on the PLL's fans to like it. The fans just don't see the connection and are too invested into PLL. Plus if Caleb ever breaks up with Hannah and gets with anybody else it would cause an up roar.

Good, but better of separated from PLL

[wildkatzze · 7/10 · 18 November 2013]

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?

Vastly Improved

[el7 · 7/10 · 10 November 2013]

Ravenswood follows Pretty Little Liars regular Caleb Rivers (Tyler Blackburn) from Rosewood PA to the nearby town of Ravenswood. Caleb arrives in town and instantly bonds with Miranda (Nicole Gale Anderson) a foster kid who has just discovered the town funeral director is her long lost uncle. The fast friends part makes more sense if you saw the back door pilot on Pretty Little Liars, in which Caleb and Miranda had a fairly long conversation about their respective pasts and Miranda further endeared herself to him by saving his girlfriend Hannah. The standard pilot, admittedly, has a certain campy far-fetched ambiance to it, with some lines of dialog that demand to be riffed upon. That kind of thing is like my catnip though, so I kept watching. I'm glad I didn't give up because episode three, Believe, is actually very good and bodes well for the future quality of this show. The curse that drives the plot is now developing recognizable parameters, the characters have developed distinct personalities with individual motivations, and the actors are developing a rapport that seems to be having a cascade effect on the quality of the dialog. I'm in for however many more episodes of this they make.

A very limiting and distant series.

[PaulVilla · 9 January 2014]

Watching '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.

Pleasantly surprised

[defnotive · 6/10 · 21 May 2021]

I'll give it to ravenswood, the darker, dramatic themes and gripping lead (Tyler Blackburn) combined with the haunting setting of the dark and gloomy supernatural atmosphere, make this show not only entertaining but interesting as well. While this definitely is not the best show in the world, if you're a fan of pretty little liars and are down for something a bit darker, you should definitely check it out.

Give it a shot?

[itsprettyreckless · 10/10 · 17 November 2013]

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'll stick with Pretty Little Liars

[DennisAlexis · 6/10 · 6 April 2014]

I just watched the final episode of "Ravenswood", a supernatural teen drama series by ABC Family. It's a spin-off of the popular teen soap "Pretty Little Liars" and follows the character of Caleb Rivers, played by hunky Tyler Blackburn, as he discovers a deadly curse that has plagued the town of Ravenswood for generations.

Let me get one thing straight: I'm a big fan of teen drama series, and "Pretty Little Liars" is one of the best ones in years. I also love a good mystery. But the supernatural theme of "Ravenswood" put me off a bit, probably because it's so far from the "Pretty Little Liars" universe.

Also, the acting isn't that good. I can live with subpar acting as long as I like a series in general, but there is something quite cheesy about "Ravenswood". Not even the cute guys can save it. Sure, it's entertaining at times, but it seems they're trying to hard to compete with "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Originals" instead of doing their own thing.

I don't regret watching "Ravenswood", but to be honest, I won't miss it that much. And I'm definitely not surprised it got cancelled. There are some good news though: The character of Caleb will return to "Pretty Little Liars". I just wonder how they will explain his short experience with the supernatural. Was it just a dream?

Terrible Pilot

[jhuebel · 3/10 · 25 October 2013]

Based on the pilot, this show is terrible. The acting is very weak, the plot is extremely thin and it's full of jump-scare moments that aren't scary at all.

So, the acting... where do I start? Half the actors don't know how to make facial expressions. Britne Oldford (Remy) walks around with dead arms, occasionally twitching her hands in a vain attempt to show some outward emotion. Tyler Blackburn (Caleb) tries to be this brooding outcast, but only succeeds in being a generic, pensive-looking guy who needs to comb his hair. Nicole Gale Anderson (Miranda) does OK, but even she isn't good enough to have a starring role.

The plot... It's not bad. It just isn't good, either. Girl returns to hometown, girl finds out the town is haunted, ghosts start jump-scaring at every turn. YAWN.

The camera work is also awful. The conversation between Miranda and her uncle in the mortuary jumped back and forth between camera angles so much that my head was spinning. And that continued any time there was a conversation between a couple of characters.

My advice, skip this show unless you're a die-hard PLL fan.

Ravenswood is my new addiction.

[lizaclear · 10/10 · 1 November 2013]

Five strangers are thrown together and are hit by a fatal curse that has plagued a town for generations. What more could you ask for to hook you into the brilliant series Ravenswood. (A PPL Spin off) The mysterious and disturbing history of the town has me wanting more and fuels a need for the teens to find a way to stop the curse and save themselves. Classic actress Meg Foster is eerily perfect in her role as the resident psychic as are the 5 fresh faced kids playing the lead roles. Having come in cold not being a PPL fan (although I have seen the first season) I am intrigued by this show. I can see where Pretty Little Liars fans would not like it so much as it is really nothing like that show, this is more paranormal/supernatural, after all the whole town is haunted. I just hope the Caleb & Hanna fans don't try to sink the spin off in order to have Caleb back in Rosewood. He is so much better off here with his brooding persona. Ultimately Ravenswood is a bone chilling tale with a fascinating blend of chills, thrills, drama and mystery but most importantly don't have to be a Pretty Little Liars fan to enjoy the series (in fact you're probably better off not being one) so enjoy this epic tale of pure escapism into the hauntingly eerie town of Ravenswood.

Please cancel this show

[hthbrr2 · 1/10 · 25 October 2013]

SPOILERS!

Believe me I gave this show a chance. And I wanted it to be good, but alas it was not.

As a Pretty Little Liars viewer I was naturally inclined to watch the first ep of this show as it was a spin off. But in comparison to PLL this show is very cheaply made (cheap sets, no-name actors, ripping off other movies/TV shows). As well as the plot just not making any sense (there was a flood, so there are ghosts that look like the cast members, ???, what?).

This show comes from the universe of PLL since it's a spin off. From PLLs we know that there are a trillion questions and no answers. So why make another show like this? There are enough questions in the main show! It's as if they did not have room for all the random (r@p in PLLs so they had to make ANOTHER show to throw all their scrap ideas in.

But let's get real, this show is really a vehicle to give Tyler Blackburn (Caleb) his own show. He does seem to be the most well liked boyfriend in the PLL TV show. Which begs the question why remove him!? They are only pissing off fans...There are a group of people online called shippers. These people watch some shows most of the time because of a certain couples relationship. Be it romantic or even platonic. For example in the TV show Glee, ppl had such a distaste for the new cast that they only watch the New York parts (featuring the original cast) and did not bother to watch the newbies parts.

Just about EVERYONE loves the Hanna/Caleb relationship. To make this show where they are separated is quite insane. Sure in PLL characters disappear for eps at a time. But Caleb was an integral part to solving the -A mystery. He was their go-to-guy for information. So what will they do now? Makes no sense....

In addition the rest of the show seems like the reject pile of actors. Miranda is played by Nicole Gale Anderson who played Heather Chandler in the current TV show Beauty and the Beast (2012). I actually liked her character in Batb. But in RW she MUMBLES ALL her words. OK girl, sounding depressed does not have to include mumbling. We have to HEAR what you say to understand whatever "plot" they are chucking our way.

Remy is played by Britne Oldford who is a reject of the abysmal remake of the originally British show Skins. She played Cadie Campbell, a version of Cassie on the UK version. This US version was just about immediately cancelled due to how bad it was. In comparison the UK version went on for 7 seasons and won quite a number of awards.

What can I say this show is desperate. The rest of the cast are no name Armani/Guess model rejects too young to get any decent actor work. So they have to do this tripe. Also the acting is pretty bad, even Tyler struggles who was one of the better actors on PLL! Well when the material is THIS bad what do you expect?

Please cancel this show, it will drag down PLLs TV show. Many have quit PLLs already. It reminds me of people trying to fight a two front war, not a good idea. You are pissing off TOO MANY PEOPLE! Please stop trying to be greedy by making another show. This show has been bashed, but I watched anyways to give it a chance, and it really is horrible. Return Tyler to PLLs and return Nicole to Batb. Stop ruining TV shows!

Canceled?!

[hannah-strong9500 · 10/10 · 23 March 2014]

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.

[6.2] It had its fans

[cjonesas · 6/10 · 11 September 2021]

A nice supernatural series, not deep unfortunately, but with good acting and often engaging, sort of thrilling storylines. The writing wasn't so good and that led to a drop in viewers, not giving the show a second chance for a next season.

Sad, it had its fans.

Over-hyped

[autumsphoenix · 2/10 · 31 October 2013]

This show was advertised so much, and then fell way short. The exciting previews of a suspenseful show that would have me hooked from the first episode was promising. I tuned in for the Pilot episode gladly, however after about 15 minutes I was already struggling not to change the channel. Although there are a few twist thrown in that were unexpected, most of the episode was moderately predictable. The Narration Throws you directly into a rushed story line, which seems a bit too forced. Overall, it is an okay plot that was poorly put together. Disappointed that instead of a good quality ABC Family show being promoted and aired, (ex.Bunheads) this is what instead is offered. and with only 5 episodes lined up, I can't see them going much further. Ravenswood is a Fail for fall/winter TV.

I came, I saw, I liked.

[traitorjoe666 · 8/10 · 25 April 2014]

I've barely even heard of PLL, never saw so much as a fragment of a single episode of PLL, so I've got zero "investment" in this series, either positive *or* negative. I'm a blank slate as far as "Ravenswood" is concerned.

That said, I got hooked pretty quickly on it. I was late to the game, hadn't even heard of the show until episode 4-5 was being aired, was curious about it, and viewed several episodes in one sitting. And I liked it, a lot.

I didn't dissect the show and try to make sure it fit neatly into the PLL-universe, I didn't care who's back in PLL-land or what they were doing... I only concerned myself with what was going on in Ravenswood (the town *and* the show).

Maybe the fact that there's "supposed" to be a PLL tie-in is what's polarising people so strongly to either love it or hate it. I don't know, nor do I particularly care. I like *this* show for what it is.

Complaints about "bad acting"? Umm, what kind of acting were you expecting in a show about ghosts and seances and such? We ain't exactly talking "Brian's Song" or even "Gandhi" here.

Things "not making sense" from a PLL perspective? "He wouldn't do that", "She wouldn't do that"... feh. Cut the cord, forget the tie-in, imagine "Ravenswood" as its own series, and rewatch it.

You've got a wonderfully creepy Meg Foster (and I mean that in a good way!), so soft-spoken and genteel but you can't quite guess if she's truly eeee-vil underneath it all and would slip poison in your chamomile tea just for fun. You've also got Steve Cabral playing a taciturn and oh-so-creepy Eddie-Munster-looking undertaker. And of course, you've got a cast of generic good-looking teenagers from pretty much any/every teen-soap-drama-whatever show, all doing their respective things. So what's not to like? I'm disappointed that the show got cancelled, and I hope it's properly wrapped-up within the 10 episodes it has, but even if not, for me it's been a fun ride, at least so far. I might chime in further after I watch the remaining episodes, but I'm hopeful they'll be at least as good as the first few.

One Of The Worst Shows I've Ever Seen

[bbb515 · 2/10 · 7 February 2014]

This 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!

Really not nearly as bad as reviews I'm seeing here

[solitaryphoenix · 8/10 · 9 November 2013]

I've been watching Pretty Little Liars since the start of the show. I enjoy it, especially since I can watch it with my now 17-year-old daughter, and we started watching Ravenswood as well together. PLL is not a great show, there are plot holes, story lines that have never really been resolved, and 'mysteries' that have been drawn out forever. The acting ranges from really good to mediocre. But... it's one of those 'addictive' shows that you just keep watching, because you need to know what the heck happens next.

Ravenswood is brought to us by the same people that brought PLL to life on TV (PLL started out as a young adult book series, but apparently it does deviate from the books). The only things Ravenswood and PLL have in common is the state they're located in (Pennsylvania; Ravenswood and Rosewood, the town PLL is set in are neighboring fictional towns), the fact that the leads are young people/teenagers, and Caleb Rivers, the only character to actually move from PLL to Ravenswood as a regular cast member. Just being a fan of PLL isn't going to guarantee you enjoy Ravenswood, unless you're also a horror/supernatural fan. The show started out a little slow and confusing for the first couple of episodes, but the latest one, the third one in, things really started coming together, and I can see some real potential for it being a pretty good show. At this point, I can definitely say we'll be continuing to watch Ravenswood.

Abysmal

[RahulM007 · 1/10 · 10 May 2021]

When Pretty Little Liars first introduced the mysterious town of Ravenswood in their fourth season, my interest in the spin-off piqued and was intrigued to find out more. Unfortunately, the first PLL spin-off was a massive disappointment. It felt inconsequential, messy, poorly executed and just plain boring. I'm not surprised that this show got cancelled after only one season. To be frank, Ravenswood did not have the bandwidth to last for more than two seasons.

The series makes it clear that Caleb Rivers and Miranda Collins are the lead characters. To my surprise, Miranda got killed off in the first episode and returned as a ghost.

Perhaps the only silver lining of the entire show is when Ashley Benson who portrays Hanna Marin makes a brief appearance in two episodes.

The creator and writers of the show seem to know what the general premise is, but the execution is done very poorly. Why was this television show even created? Caleb Rivers works far better on Pretty Little Liars and is integral to the series. He did not need his own show.

I tried to give it a chance, but it continually disappointed me. The first two episodes were ok, but after that it went downhill and never regained its momentum (as if it ever had any). The show does not really pertain to the horror genre. It is not at all scary. There are too many scenes that felt unnecessary and superfluous.

Ravenswood as a whole feels quite inconsequential. It is the worst television show I have ever seen. After each episode I wanted to scratch my eyes out, and contemplate about its wasted potential. I apologise to everyone who was involved in this show, but it was definitely a waste of my time. I regret watching this show, and DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

To conclude, Ravenswood could have had so much potential, but was sadly brought down by bad writing, unimaginative creative choices, cheap looking sets and costumes, mostly bad acting, pacing issues, unlikable side characters, a lack of suspense and a weak story. The sole reason why I continued watching the show after the second episode was for Tyler Blackburn and his portrayal of Caleb Rivers. Ultimately, it fell flat and is a rather forgettable PLL spin-off.

Final verdict: 1.8/10.

Don't watch it as A Pretty Little Liars Spin off

[candigarland · 10/10 · 12 January 2019]

This is a good show if you are into supernatural kind of shows with a lot of mystery to them. If they had just made it its own show it probably would have done well and had a couple seasons worth of material. The plot of a curse these kids have to figure out and how it all connects them could definitely played out well.

Yawn - not enough for a spin off

[phd_travel · 2/10 · 7 November 2013]

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.

Not at all scary, boring and confused!

[parthpant19 · 1 August 2018]

Well, I liked "Pretty Little Liars" and I thought why not give this one a shot too. I was really dead wrong about this show.

"Ravenswood" is not just boring- it is plain dumb. The characters are annoying, make stupid decisions and there is just no suspense or scare here. There was a recent teen-horror TV series "Scream" that sustained the tension so well and had me pumping up to the finale. But this one just kept on putting up questions and questions up to a point where you demanded some answers. Obviously the answers are given in a rushed finale, but that leaves you more dumb than shocked! God, this show is really bad!

Now lets talk about some of the good things about the show: the performances are nice and I liked the girls who play Olivia, Remy and Miranda. The boy characters were just so annoying and I hated Caleb so much- with his one liners. This is not PLL where we would want some jokes. This is a horror show-give us some tension or some scares please. Also there were some creepy moments too- but only two or three in a series that runs for nearly 450 minutes!

Take my advice, see something else. Don't waste your time on this!

definitely worth giving it a try

[petra-callaghan · 8/10 · 27 November 2013]

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.

Watch it at your own risk !!

[karuqaster · 3/10 · 9 November 2013]

When 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.

So good!

[AnnaPagrati · 10/10 · 27 August 2021]

I loved this show! The length was perfect, not too long to bore & not too short to need a lot more. It was perfect!

It's a failed show which may get positive reviews from extreme PLL fans

[toberated · 1/10 · 30 October 2013]

I watch the pilot and the second episode. I had seen the previous and I thought to myself, "hm, it could be scary, it could be good." However, after watching the pilot I was disappointed by the new characters, I will not say actors because maybe it is not their fault that there is no good story line, maybe it is not their fault that there is no plot line to move the show on. At the end of the pilot episode, the 5 main characters get into a car accident. The right away, killing one of the main characters and making her re-appear as a ghost on the second episode. As far as I can tell, they have been cursed and now are kind of in a Final Destination movie awaiting and cheating their death. I fell asleep through most of the second episode and fast-forward to see if something interesting happened but no. This show is awful as it has no cohesive, interesting, intriguing plot.

It was a failed attempt to make a creepy scary show but I mean really, how scary/creepy can it be if it is aired on ABC family. ...

I am not watching another episode. Dumb show.

Ravenswood is a great mystery

[michelleh1118 · 10/10 · 27 January 2014]

I like the suspense of trying to find out what happens next. I also like that it's scary with ghosts in it. The young actors and actresses keep it fresh. It is great for the whole family to watch. My eight year old niece watches it and loves it. I hope there is another series after this one. This is one of my favorite shows and I want to keep watching. Everyone keeps comparing this show to Pretty Little Liars and it is better. It is more interesting for adults, teenagers, and little kids. Like I said before, the whole family. I also like that it is on ABC. This station has my favorite shows to record. Keep up the suspense. It is definitely keeping me coming back for more.
