The Return of Pretty Little Liars

If there is one guilty pleasure show that I watch religiously, it is Pretty Little Liars. Back from what seemed over a year, the ABC Drama picked up where the finale left off. As always, don't read on if you don't want to be spoiled. 

Opening the trunk, the gang and Mona discover a body. However, this is just the body of a dead pig. As soon as the car is about to be found, the liars bolt, but not before Mona erases the tape of Hannah's mom committing assault. Looks like the former A is trying to make amends. Also along those lines, Mona spills all her secrets to the girls about the A team. 

Once you think everything is good and peachy for the girls, at least for the moment, looks like they overlooked another body the night before: Detective Wilden. Looks like everyone's favorite policeman has bit the dust. 

Other major developments in the episode: The Delaurentis' are back. I still can't figure out how the girls can afford their wardrobes. Ezra is just as adorable awkward as he is not awkward. And he has a job at Rosewood now. Spencer and Toby are back together (yawn). Hannah's mom may be in danger. Toby is still working for A because she knows something about his mom. The girls are back in trouble. As per usual.

 

The Killing is Back with a Vengence

The killing is back and it is good. When announced that the show would be back for a third season, I will admit that I was a little skeptical. The first season was brilliant and the second season... Well it had a lot to be desired. And that's putting it nicely. After watching the premiere and last week's episode, I am so glad this show is back. 

This season looks not at the death of a single girl, but at the serial murders of many young teens, all homeless and many working as prostitutes. Some of the girls are as young as 12. Linden finds the mass grave site at the end of the premiere and in the subsequent episode joins the police once more to catch the killer. 

At the heart of the possible suspects is a known killer on death row, played by Peter Skarsgaard. He had killed his wife and left his young son in a locked house with the body for a few days. While not sure the complete connection, Linden knows there has to be something as she found the grave site from a drawing done by his son. 

Let us hope that the rest of the season stays as strong as the first few episodes. If it does, I have faith in this show becoming popular again.
