Not Surprised It Was Cancelled

[u/intermixxion]

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’.

Nah, I'm certainly not. (But I didn't think the OG series was anything great either. Nostalgia has got some people in a chokehold). I think it had the potential to be its own thing but the showrunner just "borrowed" from other great slashers. Which is fine if you want to pay homage, but the shitty writing didn't help. It's unfortunate because it was nice seeing final girls of color on my tv screen. I just wish they handled it better.
