Pretty Little Liars: Um Novo Pecado

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.

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.

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.

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 verdict is still out on this one. Some points are interesting but the constant scare music with a brief flash back is so repetitive it became annoying. Not nearly as interesting as the original. The original was amazing in its early seasons. This one doesn't hook you in. The girls don't have secrets that can destroy their lives like the original so they don't live in constant fear of those secrets being exposed. The other one also had the very original and interesting factor of "A". This one feels more like Mike Myers in Halloween (High-school Edition). I also agree with another reviewer that kids do not speak like this. I haven't heard teens use terms like "gnarley" since almost ever. Also, obviously bullies still exist in highschools and there are always going to be the popular groups, but must all teen shows have the stereotypical mean girl in a mini skirt and cropped cardi outfit with the jock boyfriend on her arm in a letterman jacket. Do teens even dress like that anymore? No. They haven't for more than a decade, maybe even two. Would have been better and a neat twist if the teens were not introduced and the story focused on the adults after what happened in the 90s and left the teenage drama behind. They could have realistically introduced more adult themes. I'll hang in there a couple more episodes and see how it goes. So far HBO is struggling remaking the early 2000-2010 teen series because Gossip Girl and PLL are not great.
