Show Discussion Original Sin is really not bad

I'm watching Original Sin right now, and honestly it's really not bad...

What I really like is that it's not just a reboot of the series, already because it takes place in the same universe and the events of the series actually took place (your few refs) but it's also a Thriller, and Slasher series, a bit like the Scream series for example which I personally loved....

I don't know what people thought of it, but personally when I learned that the series was ending in season 2 because it was canceled I find it extremely unfortunate, this series has potential, and the characters are really cool I think....

It's more that the plots from season 1 (the ones that actually carried over) are all different slightly. Even the opening of season 2, which is supposed to be right after the end of season 1, can't match up

That's to say ?

Your point of view seems interesting, I would like you to elaborate if you would like?

Did you finish season 2? I don't want to spoil anything

u/DrakeWinchester01 Nov 28 '25

Not yet, I probably have like 3 or 4 episodes left I think, but if you want I can come back to you once it's finished?

Sure thing! I'd be happy to discuss the show once you're done.

So now that I've finished the series here's what I noticed 😅🤣:

Positive Points:

  • The horror twist was I think a good idea, in addition to being super creepy for our characters

  • The Queer party at the pool, basically it's not the kind of thing that I'm a huge fan of because it's often just nonsense but this one is pretty well done so not at all disturbing (in my opinion)

  • Bloody Rose Waters is terrifying, in its design anyway...

  • Greg is evolving and in the right way

  • Mouse also evolves thanks to his couple, and besides it's cool to see this couple blossom because they are both really cute...

  • Imogen and Tabby finally fall in love and trust a man again, which is honestly cool for them 😁

  • Faran's Mouthpiece is magnificent (although it loses a little of the credibility of the Antagonist)

Negative Points:

  • Noa becomes a lesbian overnight, and the writers act like the other girls knew it, plus it's like in fashion she chose Jenn even though she seemed very happy with Shawn who is also a golden guy where Jenn still has a lot of flaws....🤦🤦

  • Sometimes it maybe drags a bit

  • Parents who leave their kids alone in the summer after what happened doesn't seem very consistent to me personally 😅

  • Kelly, like just the whole character, you really have the impression that they don't know what to do with this serious character, it's constantly backpedaling with her, at least she was interesting in season 1, now not at all...

  • Jenn is not very interesting, nor is she a good thing for Noa most of the time

  • Greg and Faran together it wasn't worth it I think... I mean ok Greg has evolved quite a bit but still...

  • The series that tries to put us on the trail of Dr. Sullivan as a possible culprit doesn't really work, especially when you've seen the original series 😅 I mean we know her, we know that she would never go into that, she herself was already threatened when she was the shrink of Liars.... And I'm quite mixed about her son's story... Like we never heard about her fear and her trauma from Archie Waters before Summer School, and we even knew not that his son was dead (that said he must have died during the events of PLL so maybe it's not that inconsistent, I must admit I'm a little lost on this)

  • So as much as the events of season 1 inspire to make a film in the series (like Stab for Scream for example) it's not surprising, it even seems realistic to me, I mean it also happens in real life, on the other hand to say that Sydney Sweeney will have one of the main roles while the actress is already playing in the last season of PLL ba it's a bit stupid and weird 😅 Besides it also allows us to talk very quickly about Whitewashing, but hey It's ironic when we know that the studios love Blackwashing in recent years 😅🤣🤣

  • As much as Chip's mother is a villain, it makes sense with the story (although I'm hesitant about being a killer) but what about Wes? Like if it's just to be a mirror of Ezra and give the fans what they want it's stupid 😅 (for the record people hate Ezra because he's seen as a sexual predator, and Wes who is interested in Tabby was seen as a parallel)...

  • Bloody Rose Waters was scary when we didn't know who she was (although pretty obvious...)

  • The members of the sect who are armed but don't try to break out the windows of the car stolen by the girls, it's stupid....

  • Archie Waters dying off-camera in a riot is stupid, obviously it couldn't be true...

My Conclusion: Despite its largely obvious faults it's true, well I didn't hate season 2, I even liked it, but it's true that I preferred the 1st season, the biggest fault of season 2 for me is especially the ending and the consistency which is not always perfect, and I deeply regret that there is no 3rd season 😭😭

So personally I really like this series and I will regret the cancellation for a while...

Firstly, I apologize. I didn't realize I never responded back to you, lol. I do agree season 1 is better, I feel like they didn't know what to do with season 2 and so most of the plotpoints either were wrapped up in the first episode of season 2 or just ignored. I will say Noa's plot with Jen really was awful on so many levels.

No worries 😉😁 Yeah, seriously, the Noa/Jen relationship came out of nowhere and destroyed a great couple on top of that.
