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.
