36 Of The Most Batshit Insane Storylines From ‘Pretty Little Liars’
It’s been nearly two years since the Pretty Little Liars finale aired and we said goodbye to one of the most bonkers shows of this modern era.
Dedicated fans of the series weren’t overly surprised when the finale made zero sense. Looking back on the seven seasons of the teen drama, it turns out many, many things didn’t make sense. But that was the absolute beauty of it.
Now that A/A.D./whoever has stopped tormenting us, we decided to look back on some of the most batshit insane storylines from the show.
It’s amazing we all didn’t end up in Radley at the end.
Here are 36 of the craziest Pretty Little Liars storylines:
1. The fact they just straight-up blinded Jenna and it was just one of those things.
