Pretty Little Liars - Season Four (2013/Warner DVD Set)


Picture: B Audio: B Extras: B Episodes: C



Pretty Little Liars hits DVD with this massive five-disc set, clocking in around 1046 minutes and featuring 24 episodes from the hit ABC series. In the wake of last season's mysterious lodge fire, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer turn to a surprising new ally to help them uncover who caused the fire and at the same time try to uncover the identity of Red Coat. Soon a new corpse turns up in Rosewood and the fabulous four must investigate the cause of death. What it one of their friends or family? Someone close to them?


The bonus recap episode starts out disc one with A LiArs Guide to Rosewood where you can catch up on the Liars' history from Season One's very first text to Season Three's introduction of Red Coat. Additional episodes on the discs feature A is for A-L-I-V-E, Turn of the Shoe, Cat's Cradle, and Face Time.


Disc Two features the episodes Gamma Zeta Die!, Under the Gun, Crash and Burn, Girl, The Guilty Girl's Handbook, and Into the Deep. Disc Three features The Mirror Has Three Faces, Bring Down the Hoe, Now You See Me, Now You Don't, Grave New World, and Who's In The Box?


Disc Four brings us Love Shack, Baby, Close Encounters, Bite Your Tongue, Hot For Teacher, and Shadow Play. Disc Five is Free Fall, She's Come Undone, Cover For Me, Unbridled, and the shocking finale A is For Answers.


Despite all the pretty little liars, I kind of failed to get into this show. I can see how it would appeal to a teenage audience and is better than some shows on television but it wasn't really for me. It plays on the Scarlet Letter analogies and makes a good attempt at being suspenseful but feels more like a soap opera than gritty television.


The standard definition, anamorphically enhanced 16 X 9/1.78 X 1 transfer looks fine for DVD along with the Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound mix. Special features include 3 new featurettes Unlocking Red Coat: Alison is Alive!, Confessions of “A” Liar, Pretty Little Scenes, and a Bonus Recap Episode plus unaired scenes.
