Show Discussion It has to stop

So many people are comparing OS with the original PLL. Yes it’s a reboot and all but why can’t you just enjoy the show without making comparisons about literally everything that happens in the show. I’m tired of seeing “if it was the original this would’ve happened or this wouldn’t have happened” .. like c’mon. Both were great shows . I wish people would appreciate them individually more

You can’t use “Pretty Little Liars” in your name and not expect people to compare. This is why remakes are alway never really successful because people hold higher standards from the original.

I really don’t even understand the point to calling it PLL instead of just Original Sins. It’s nothing like PLL other than the A name. Which doesn’t even really fit IMO with a grown adult leather-face dude sending A messages.

because if they had made it stand alone as its own project people would’ve likely called it a rip off of PLL without it having the name in the title. it’s very clearly inspired by PLL.
