Have you ever started watching a movie or TV show and all of a sudden you realize you must have watched some of the stunts, movements or settings before, and yet this is your first time you have bought this movie or TV show? It becomes a déjà vu until you realize you are watching different character names and faces.
So I have seen this Pretty Little Liars on the TV shows market in Kampala for over three years I guess and I had never even once tingled my beard while pondering on whether to buy it or not. But then recently I felt like I had watched all the movies and TV shows in this guy's movie shop/container somewhere in Nakulabye, and it was only Pretty Little Liars left, and at this time it had accumulated with 5 seasons and I decided to take the first two parts of season one.

While watching the first few episodes, I felt like I was in Upper East Side once again surrounded by Blair Waldorf, Serena Van Der Woodsen and their lonely boys. This was majorly because of the anonymous person -A, who like Gossip Girl knew every character's deepest secrets and and used that as an advantage to control them. But later I realized this show wasn't too inclined to Gossip Girl because of -A and the school setting with lockers and hallways and scattered students everywhere, but to another familiar TV show and a movie because of the problem solving skills, -A, chic flick and more. Below are moments when and where Pretty Little Liars becomes Charle's Angels.(Closely relating to the movies)
On Pretty Little Liars, -A is very equivalent to Mr. Charle on Charle's Angels. Although the pretty little liars are threatened by -A, still -A has given them a lot of information and not just tit bits concerning what is going on in their surroundings, but they need to be very smart to understand it. The Angels however can only feel scared of their new tasks until one of them says "Its sounds fun" Both the Angels and the Liars receive information or tasks from one source, that is Mr. Charle on a speaker box and -A on mobile phones respectively.
At least someone from both Pretty Little Liars and Charle's Angels has fallen in love with the enemy. Spencer Hastings falling for Toby Cavanaugh who is presumably -A or working for -A, though it it later turns out he was only trying to protect Spencer, was just like Dylan Sanders accepting to shake and bake for Knox of the Knox Technologies before she survived the shooting. And just like Spencer Hastings always falling for the bad guys, e.g Ian Thomas, Dylan Sanders realized that with Seamus O'grady.
The Creepy Thin Man scene on Charle's Angels was perfectly recreated on Pretty Little Liars except that this time there was no physical creepy thin man but a creepy thicker -A on the Little Liars' phones. The way these girls converge from parts of of the party floor to plan a new mission after receiving a message from the creepy know it all thick -A is exactly the way the Creepy Thin Man's attention brings Natalie, Dylan and Alex. See clip below
The Little Liars and the Angels keep secrets of what they are working on from their boyfriends, but then again sometimes use them to accomplish their secret duties for example Caleb and Hannah, though Caleb later finds out about the secrets, and Dylan and The Chad. Remember "Is it the Chad?"?
They all have each others' backs. Yeah, sometimes they fight, but they always stay connected. There are so many other relationships between Pretty Little Liars and Charle's Angels both the TV shows and the movies but I could only highlight those, of course considering I am still on the third season.
The Thornhill Lodge fire incident is exactly like the fire incident at Townsend's
Pretty Little Liars returns January 6th 2015 on ABC Family.
