Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
