Pretty Little Liars has parallels to Gossip Girl. While I have seen almost every episode of Gossip Girl I have only seen the pilot of Pretty Little Liars. Both shows are extremely millennial using technology as the main culprit for sending around information that puts the characters on edge. The masked voiced behind the technology hasn’t been revealed in either show, but have extreme control of what goes on. This seems to be a millennial trend as seen in Veronica Mars as well. It adds that Kristen Bell, who is “Veronica Mars” is also the voice of “Gossip Girl.” The hidden voice is a leading role in the show that is never unmasked. The masked figure differs in Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars. The voice of Gossip Girl facilitates rumors on her blog from information that is given to her via texts, emails and other millennial technology. She uses this information in her blog to reveal secrets to all who follow her. This information is not meant to put anyone in real danger but instead is give an inside look at what is going on in the Upper East side. Although I have only seen one episode of Pretty Little Liars it seems like the anonymous texter is someone who is trying to pick apart the lives of the four friends that were with “Alison” during the previous summer when she was murdered. This use of millennial technology isn’t available to everyone and is only given to the four girls. Both shows relate to each other because of their use of technology but they differ in how their undercover voice works. One looks to be picking the lives apart after the death of a friend and one allows everyone to know everything about anyone is who anyone in New York City.
