I was, and still am, baffled by both this decision, and the choice to show only one airing of TP each week. This allowed viewers, especially those of us with work and other evening commitments, another chance to view the episodes and have our viewings counted toward the Nielsen ratings. Perhaps my largest issue with the management of TP comes from its accessibility to international viewers. While, as a resident of the United States, I was fortunate enough to have both live and streaming access to each episode, tens of thousands of potential new viewers were left completely in the dark.
While I recognize the costs of international accessibility, I believe that this lack of access had a direct impact on the poor ratings - simply not enough people were given the opportunity to have their views counted. Finally, the lack of promotion given to this show throughout its entire run was extremely noticeable, and, in my opinion, shameful. While your network did a great job of promoting the season premiere, it felt as though as soon as ratings did not equal those of the original PLL, the show was essentially thrown to the wayside.
Freeform is a channel that I generally keep on as background noise throughout the day. Expecting superior ratings from a show that you refuse to promote or advertise is asinine. You cannot expect a show, regardless of quality, to succeed if you do not do everything in your power to give it the tools to do so. From the very start, it felt as though TP was given up on without giving it a fighting chance.
The fact that you could not find enough worth in its spinoff to make simple changes and give it a second chance is, frankly, disgraceful. It is beyond unfortunate that the world of your most successful original franchise has ended on an unresolved and unsatisfactory note.
The cast, crew, and fans of both series did not deserve to be treated in this way, especially after being strung along for months, waiting for renewal news. I will in particular be making a conscious choice not to watch any new series. Your network has a hideous pattern, which began far before TP, of cancelling shows after only one brief season. I no longer have the desire to engage in watching and enjoying shows that are surrounded by so much insecurity. After all, what is the point in getting absorbed in a show that is only going to be cancelled after ten episodes?
It is my hope that you will take into consideration everything that I have written here. I understand that I am a college student, majoring in Education, who is not aware of every intricate factor that goes into the production and maintenance of a television show.
Because it's certainly starting to look that way. Granted, Lucas has been somewhat suspicious right from the beginning. His keen interest in Hanna has raised many eyebrows — and not just because the majority of this show's fandom is TeamHaleb. He's just always had a mysterious way about him, which probably means he has something to hide. And it looks like there's some foundation to that assumption, especially considering what Pastor Ted welcome back!
Not only did he have a romantic past with Mary Drake, but during Tuesday's episode he revealed to Hanna that he was, in fact, Charlotte's father. He even showed Hanna a picture of her at a camp that he used to run back when she was little. This prompted Hannah to wonder who that boy was standing on the other side of Ted. And what do you know — his name just so happened to be Lucas, who was according to Ted Charlotte's best friend. This connection proves that Charlotte and Lucas go way back.
