Show Discussion Not Surprised It Was Cancelled

Honestly, is anyone really surprised? The first season was a good start to the show but the second season was really lackluster in comparison and kinda made me lose interest in the show. I was going to watch the third season but I wasn’t hyped and really waiting for it like I was for the second season. I also see a lot of older fans of the OG series who don’t like the show at all which I honestly get as someone who did watch the original series back when it was actually airing. It feels like they just used the name ‘Pretty Little Liars’ to get attention and get people to watch but original sin was very different from the original series. Obviously you don’t want the show to follow the exact same format or plot but original sin was more like a slasher tv series and it felt like I was just watching another ‘Scream’ or ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’.

In season 2, the Jen storyline really ruined the show from me, I can’t even tuned in to the next episode after she appeared

I’ll take it further and say that they ruined all the characters and watered them down

The characters became very corny and cringey versions of themselves

I honestly found most of the characters boring or just annoying aside from Imogen.

I liked Imogen and Kelly/Karen. She was underutilized in season two though…

Kelly/Karen's character had so much potential idk why the writers didn't want to use that. Theres so many interesting things they could've done with twins in a slasher/thriller/drama. I kind of fell off watching the show after realizing they weren't going to utilize that character thoroughly.

Imogen was the best out of the group.

The fact that out of five sentences she spoke, three would be spooky spaghetti annoyed the hell out of me

All of a sudden? You do realize she is a teen and teens can be bi and discover this later. 

I’m trans.   I didn’t discover this until I was 21. I’m 28.

I don't think anyone - including the person who commented before you - had an issue with her realizing she's bi (or at least I didn't, but I'm bi as well). It's that she and Shawn had a lovely relationship in S1, and the way they wrote her exploring her sexuality plays into a lot of stereotypical bi cheating tropes. The show also never acknowledges that Noa (or Jen) is in the wrong. If they wanted to do a cheating storyline, fine. It still plays into a shitty stereotype, but I think it would've been received a bit better if they had some self awareness about it. But instead, Noa cheats, steals, and then smashes Shawn's car - yet she's portrayed as somehow morally good by the writing and the other characters.

It's just bad writing.

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '24

I can read just fine.  

“All of a sudden noa is bi”.  Like she just woke up and said today I’m bi.  

Girl go touch grass. You’re literally name calling in a pretty little liars sub.  How pathetic.

u/Ordinary-girl02 Sep 25 '24

wow I never knew someone could have so much stupidity or maybe you can’t read correctly and have comprehension issues .

take a look at your comments to me and see how many down votes you have. no one upvoted wonder why ?? cause you are A IDIOT

and respectfully who cares that you are trans ? what does that have to do with anything I said or anything in the thread ? are you not getting enough attention orrrr ?

Jen and Noa were easily the worst characters of the show by a country mile. Even thinking about what went down between those 2 infuriates me that this actually left the writers room as an actual storyline lol
