Pretty Little Liars: Um Novo Pecado

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.

*Insert movie reference* This show is clearly written by people who have no idea how kids talk or act. Shocking I know, yet another teen show written by out-of-touch adults.

*Insert movie reference* The "relationships" are all so incredibly dull that every second spent on these hollow boyfriends is a waste or life.

*Insert movie reference* None of the main characters are interesting either. There's so little worth paying attention to here. The killer is neither scary nor intriguing.

Oh and almost forgot, let me *insert movie reference* here so I can do the show justice. The character of Tabitha is one of the worst written teenagers ever put to screen.

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!

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.

Review: This series was a little messy and overly woke, but despite the flaws it was often quite interesting and could be pretty entertaining. With this I mean to say that the plotline and characters felt a little superficial at times and it could all give off a rather awkward vibe, but somehow I was still invested enough to want to continue watching and see what would happen. And really, this series is not perfect by any means, and also not the most fun or emotional, but it was okay. It's a good watch for when you don't know what else to put on.

Top three characters: 1) Faran Bryant, 2) Kelly Beasley and 3) Imogen Adams.
