March 17 - 23, 2019 WHATS UP! T5 BY ANDREW WARREN TV Media Liar, liar: No word of a lie, "Pretty Little Liars" is back. Well, sort of. The popular teen drama has a new spinoff, and even if it isn't quite the original series, the return of some pop- ular characters should be enough to get fans excited. "Pretty Little Liars: The Per- fectionists" premieres Wednesday, March 20, on Freeform, filling holes in countless hearts that have been gaping ever since the original show wrapped up for good in 2017. The new series has a new story to tell, along with a new cast of characters, but two returning faces mean that the spinoff should feel just like home. Both Sasha Pieterse ("He- roes") and Janel Parrish ("To All the Boys I've Loved Be- fore," 2018) star in the new se- ries, reprising the roles that they played in "PLL." They join a cast of young actors that in- cludes Sofia Carson ("Descen- dants 2," 2017), Sydney Park ("The Walking Dead"), Eli Brown ("Cupid's Paradise," 2018) and Hayley Erin ("Gen- eral Hospital"). Details about the new series, its plot and its characters have been kept tightly under wraps, but what is known sure sounds intriguing. Whereas "Liars" was about a group of high school students trying to solve a deadly mystery, "The Perfec- tionists" has grown up with its audience. It's set in a sleepy college town where the over- achieving students find their quiet lives rocked when the pressure to be perfect leads to a horrific murder. "The Perfectionists" is the second spinoff of "Pretty Little Liars." The first, "Raven- swood," premiered in 2013 and was canceled after only one season, but with "Liars" having been off the air for almost two years now, there's a good chance hungry fans will keep this one around for a lot lon- ger. "Pretty Little Liars" enthu- siasts won't want to miss the premiere when it airs Wednes- day, March 20, on Freeform. A bloody documentary: Corporate greed. A self-made billionaire whose wealth and fame are built on a lie. Innova- tive technology that turns out to be just smoke and mirrors. The real-life story of medical technology company Ther- anos is as gripping as a Holly- wood blockbuster, and on Monday, March 18, HBO brings the story of its founder to the screen in "The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley." The documentary pre- miered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and hails from director Alex Gib- ney. He's no stranger to tack- ling rich and powerful organi- zations that he believes are frauds or abusing their power. The documentary maker is also the man behind 2015's Sci- entology exposé "Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief," 2005's "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" and 2012's "Mea Maxima Cul- pa: Silence in the House of God" about the clerical sex abuse scandal. In "The Inventor," Gibney turns his cameras on Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, the charismatic young entrepre- neur who dropped out of Stan- ford to start her company. Theranos claimed to have de- veloped a medical device that could analyze a single drop of blood to detect dozens of dis- eases, and within only a few years Holmes was a media and investor darling, with the com- pany valued at more than $9 billion at its peak. Of course, when the house of cards fell, it fell hard. In the end, it turned out that the technology didn't actually work, and Holmes was dis- graced and faced legal action. It's a story that almost seems too over the top to be true, but it couldn't be more real. Catch the documentary's tele- vision premiere on Monday, March 18, on HBO.
