PLL fans (Pretty Little Liars) will enjoy this great news – Pretty Little Liars: The Complete Fifth Season is available today, June 2, 2015, on DVD.
My daughter has been a fan of the series since it first started. Originally I was a bit “iffy” about her watching it since it seemed a bit grown up for her, but seeing as how it airs on ABC Family I knew it couldn’t be too bad.
Over the years the show has got a bit more “dark” compared to the earlier years (darker, creepier), but I’m still OK with her watching it because I know that ABC Family takes care not to push the envelope too far.
The complete fifth season of the show is available today on DVD. $59.98
Season five of Pretty Little Liars begins in the moments following the epic season four finale, in which Ezra was shot, among other shocking acts and revelations. Alison is alive and back in Rosewood, and everyone is affected by her return — but is she the same Alison after being on the run? Hanna’s ex, Caleb, returns, but he, too, is changed. Plus, how does Mona fit into everything and what is Melissa (guest star Torrey DeVitto) hiding? With more questions than ever and other familiar faces back in Rosewood, there are now five pretty little liars trying to piece together who has been tormenting them. It’s sure to be another season of emotion, intrigue and nail-biting suspense, with many must-see moments, including the series’ landmark 100th episode.
“Fans will be thrilled with the nearly two hours of all-new bonus content that we have included on the Season 5 DVD,” said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, Television Marketing. “From a look at the creation of the Ice Ball to the 100th episode celebration and interviews with the Liars themselves, fans get an inside look like never before. Pretty Little Liars continues to be one of the most talked-about shows on cable and we’re thrilled to help the fans relive all the shocking moments on DVD.”

I’m behind on my PPL watching. I haven’t watched it much lately, but my daughter still watches it often. She’s missed several of the episodes due to her job and not being able to find a way to watch them again before the new episode airs, so she’s a bit “lost” on some of the subplots.
I had her watch the bonus features for me. She thought the Christmas one was pretty cool. Of course, being a teenage girl she liked the one about the boys. LOL!
If you are fan of the series this is a must have for your collection. Look for it where ever DVDs are sold.
Are you a fan of the series? Do you have a favorite character or sub-story? Feel free to share your thoughts.
