Dear Ms King,

I have been watching the show you direct, Pretty Little Liars. I understand that the series is based on books by Sara Shepard and honestly, I have not read them, but I was wondering about your show:

- Why are Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hanna initially friends with Ali? I heard the line "she made us feel special", but in the series she is portrayed as a monster to other people and her own friends. I don't think it's very logical that the series is built on trying to find Ali's killer/person who stole her body when she was such an awful person. Her redeeming qualities are entirely overshadowed by her nastiness. Perhaps you could make it clearer why they idolise Ali so much.

- There is a confusing jumble of events where the "liars" are always left figuratively 'holding the body'. I don't think you've established how this is possible. Their rooms must be bugged, there must be someone watching each of them at all times (and watching their associates, such as Caleb, Paige and Toby), unless you establish that one of the girls is actually A. This would be a clever plot twist, however, unless A is Aria - everyone else has been 'messed' with too much to assume that they are the infamous A.

I understand that you are doing a spinoff to the series, congratulations. I hope that the plot twists are all answered before you shift to this show. It'd be such a waste of time watching the whole series if the answers were not clear and actually possible.

Kind regards,

Maya
