I watched PPL pretty late and had to binge watch all the series but had no problem doing so. PPL was engaging, captivating and kept you on guessing and wanting more from start to finish. The PPL characters had depth and dimensions that made them interesting and a joy to watch, with twists and turns expertly wrote.
The Perfectionists had/has big stilettos to fill and so far around 8 episodes in although there's is something keeping me watching I'm struggling to find any real depth to the story and characters. It all feels a bit to easy, like there is a key ingredient missing. I am enjoying the references to the original PPL and hope and pray that over time the bond gets closer but the fact that my attention is still on PPL and I'm waiting for those references from the past doesn't say alot about the Perfectionists writingn that on its own fails to keep me in the present and absorbed by the goings on at Beacon Heights.
The PPL characters for as much as they had their character flaws we loved them and routed for them and enjoyed the dark and the bad as much as the light and the good in each character. The Perfectionists gives us very little infomation to build a reason to care about the central characters and at times feels as though they are just plain flawed individuals, which makes it hard to care about the story they are trying to tell and a reason to care about them.
Although the plot is keeping my attention it's not keeping me on the edge of my seat as it all feels a little bit to mellow with twists and thrills coming very far between and when they do they are hardly earth shattering OMG moments.
I'm watching for the soul reason that it's a PPL spin off and Alison and Mona are involved but it's a such a shame they are required in that way due to the new characters being largely forgettable and lacking in dimensions.
I hold out hope that because it's early days and we can expect more depth and dimensions, twists and turns and more importantly character development and eith that the missing ingredient is found giving us some real spice to what is at the moment pretty little and bland.
