Beyond Selidor

I didn't even know they made a sequel series! I know they tried a weird sort of spin-off centred on Caleb, but that didn't seem to gain much traction and it was cancelled, and back he came to PLL.

Given you finished it, all I was planning to say is that I remember really wishing that A — or at least who was ultimately pulling A's strings — was one of the fathers, preferably Byron, because all the adult men in the show, the fathers especially, were really, really awful (apart from Emily's dad). They were such appalling hypocrites! Also, I preferred the idea that the person tormenting these girls was some patriarchal figure, because it felt to me that the show was about adult men's fears of teenage girls' autonomy, and the way that dominant narratives weaponise teenage girls against each other as a way of deflecting their attention from the real source of their disempowerment. But the show never quite dared to be that dark, or that direct, and degenerated into soapiness, and transphobia.
