Pretty Little Liars Season 7 arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Pretty Little Liars Season 7 treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. After Hanna's shocking abduction by "Uber A", the PLLs and company desperately race against the clock to save one of their own. The only way to do this is by handing over evidence of Charlotte's real murderer to "Uber A". In order to do so, the girls must decide what blatant lines they are willing to cross that they have never breached before; and once they cross that line, there is no turning back. Lucy Hale and Troian Bellisario lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2016. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Pretty Little Liars Season 7 passes that test consistently. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Pretty Little Liars Season 7. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Lucy Hale anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
