Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

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.

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.

Okay, I see a lot of people complaining about how different the show is compared to the original. Let me say something to y'all: THATS THE POINT! A reboot means a new start, that's why we have new characters, new storylines and a new villain! In the original show, it was all about the drama and mystery. This one is about the horror and thriller. We have some nuances from PLL such as the villain called A and a b*tch blond girl beeing murder. So far the show has a unique way, and if you loved the creepier 'PLL' episodes or any of the specials, it's a must-watch for you!

The pilot was all over the place. But I'll be honest, I am curious about how this is going to develop. The acting of the mothers in this series is so cringe. I'm sorry...we're there no better actors to choose from?

Movie Nerd girl and ALL THE FREAKIN REFERENCES got old real fast. No teen in reality would do that. We get it. She likes movies. So do I, but geez.

All in all, it's not a bad show. I've seen worse (the perfectionist). The plot is what has me continuing to watch. And as an OG PLL fan, I'm gonna be here til the end. Where I'm sure Marlene will piss us all off with a crappy ending, but we expect nothing less lol.

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.
