The books weren’t afraid to turn a protagonist into an antagonist and neither should the series be. From Sara Shepard, author of the 1 New York Timesbestselling Pretty Little Liars series, comes the shocking sequel to The Perfectionistswith an ending you’ll have to read to believe Mackenzie, Ava, Caitlin, Julie, and Parker have done some not-so-perfect things. While making one of the liars into the villain may not have worked for the predecessor, this show is a fresh start and a chance to think outside of the box and try something new. For years on Pretty Little Liars, it seemed like the writers were setting up one of the girls, particularly Aria, to be the woman beneath the black hoodie in the end. She is known for the bestselling Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game book series, both of which have been turned into television shows on Freeform. My hope for The Perfectionists is that, like the book series, there’s no fear of making one of the main characters into the villain (or a temporary villain). While my main suspect is Caitlin, because changing her last name to something so similar to Parker is shady, it’s entirely possible that the characters of Julie, Mackenzie, or Parker will join the show in the future, assuming it lives on to see another several years. Basically, before she abandoned her life, Taylor Hotchkiss was in the middle of a mental breakdown (which is entirely understandable in Beacon Heights). On The Perfectionists season 1, episode 2, Claire Hotchkiss, Nolan and Taylor’s mother, shares a scene with Alison, in which she details how paranoid Taylor became toward the seeming end of her life.
