Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

Lack of charismatic, something odd with special (and not so much) effects, but pretty good atmosphere, secrets and creepy exciting feeling about small perfect town facade with puzzled content inside.

If you've come here expecting the ABC Family / Freeform level mystery drama formula and are unwilling to accept something new, you'll hate this.

If you're a fan of the 70s-90s era slasher films, you'll feel right at home.

A is no longer a peer in the high school holding onto secrets and manipulating people. This A is large. Masked. Scary. ENRAGED.

Straight out the gate there's (2?) murders and it doesn't stop there. As bodies pile up in Millwood, the threat to these liars and their liar mothers elevates. The stakes have never been higher.

This show is probably better suited for fans of the Scream TV series than fans of the original PLL, but the texts and looming presence of a mysterious secret keeper still keep it within the realm of the PLL universe.

Nothing like the original... bad writing and disappointing casting in my opinion. The girls do not have the same natural chemistry the original PLL did. Everything about the show feels generic and blend.

I mean really? The antagonist is a blonde called Karen? Let's be a LITTLE original here please guys.

Plus with all these movie references you'd think they are film critics instead of normal teens. The acting is really dry for the most part and the dialogue is just as bad. And why is this show 55 minutes long? Keep it to 40 and you can take out all the unnecessary dialogue. And the annoying flash backs? Oh god... but honestly, change the name of the show because it had nothing to do with the original. In conclusion I'll be re watching the original PLL.

It really wasn't anything like the original show. I expected it to be somewhat similar but the pilot just couldn't catch my interest enough. The acting is meh. The storyline is meh. It's a show you have on while you're folding laundry.

Difficult to follow and you pay more mind to thinking about all of the other shows it reminds you of, without actually know what is going on in THIS show. The series does a great job at telling versus showing (not a good thing) and the conflicts are forced. Whether you expect this to be a true continuation of PLL or even existing in the same world, it is hard to watch because it is unclear what the story is. It is equal parts PLL, Scream Queens, and Riverdale with callbacks to other well-known slasher flicks but fails in having its own identity.
