The darker themes of betrayal and mistrust are very prominent aspects of the two shows. It also has a very similar parent issues plot with the main characters. The cliffhangers in both shows are crazy and leave you wanting to watch more episodes. A few differences are that pit babe shrouds more stuff in mystery like we knew that Kant is a narc from the first episode but in Pit babe the traitor is hidden from the audience for a awhile to keep people on their toes. PLUS multiple cute side couples and a happy ending.
