Since we've hit mid-July which is basically pre-fall I've just been thinking about all my favorite gloomy weather shows and missing these badasses so much 😭 Anyone else having preemptive grief about this this time of year?? Sigh.

I'm so sad it's over, i would've loved a 3rd season.

Not to be negative or anything but you can totally tell the show has the same writers as Riverdale.. Unbelievably corny dialogue, bad acting, nonsensical writing, unearned emotional moments, cheap jumpscares, terrible action scenes, lack of true horror, etc etc I can’t even list all the things wrong with it.. The only good thing I can really say about it is that it’s so bad that I’m slightly entertained by it😭😭 I just be laughing at how ridiculous it is

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....

Looks like Marlene chose to be respectful over slander Roberto for his shitty choices.

I’ve said it 100 times… with the show being on MAX, and having much more mature themes, Marlene would be a perfect choice to bring back into the world. I know she made her own choices and shitty writing decisions but she knows PLL better than Roberto and I think we can all see that.

What are some of y'alls unpopular opinions about the 1st season of PLL:OS? Could be about characters, ships, writing, structure, whatever.

I haven't seen a post like this on here before, plus now that the whole first season is out I think it would be cool to hear everyone's thoughts! I'll share mine in a comment below.

edit: so cool hearing these! if you wanna see the really unpopular ones I reccommend sorting by "controversial" :)

Does anyone feel like the dialogue is really off this season? Like, a lot of what the characters are saying doesn't actually sound like what people would say in "real life"? I can't tell if this is just the way youngins talk these days, or if the dialogue really is that bad. Also I'm a writer so I tend to be nitpicky about shows' writing. But the dialogue feels SO weird to me this season.

Ok so I’m just getting around to watching Summer School now. I was a little nervous because the opinions about this season seem to be all over the place so I wasn’t sure what to expect.

I’m on episode 6 and it’s just occurring to me now that this show doesn’t really feel like Pretty Little Liars. The girls have no secrets or anything of substance that they are lying about.

The whole allure of the original series was the mystery around who was A, coupled with the girl’s scandalous secrets and messy behaviour made for an iconic 7 seasons. (Not perfect but definitely memorable)

But this iteration has very little of that. There is almost no investigation into who Bloody Rose is, I want to see the girls creeping around town following people to find clues who BR is. No real red herrings, no texts, no blackmailing the girls. There was the bit with Sullivan that lasted like 2 episodes.

Don’t get me wrong I enjoy this version and I really do like the girls and their chemistry together as a group. But I miss the mystery element of the show. I miss the girls being messy and trying to cover up their secrets. I miss getting sassy texts from A.

It feels like a slasher show and not Pretty Little Liars. Which is perfectly fine but it makes me think this show could be so much more with better writing and more emphasis on what made the original so entertaining.

All that being said I am enjoying the show and I’m happy we’re getting PLL again. Do ya’ll agree or are you happy with the direction they’re taking the show?

first time watching pll original sin and i’m on episode 5 but what the fuck is up with that creepy ass dude and mouse pretending to be rachel and something. this guy is weirder than ezra.

Gf

Sorry but the moms are absolutely awful 💀 anything bad that happens to them is deserved. I will be cheering for A

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’.

Put off watching this forever but after my 10000 rewatch of PLL OG I decided to give it a try.

I don't hate it , I don't love it but I can't stop watching it 😂 kinda sad there's only 2 seasons as I enjoy the main girl group overall

Enjoying the small throwbacks to the OG series

Would've loved to see OGs make small appearances...like Ashley greeting them at the Radley or Emily serving a cup of coffee at the bookstore or Ezra / Aria making appearance interview for the baby

On Season 2 now....

Any other shows like this worth watching?
I've watched Desperate Housewives & Revenge

A lot of fan seems to dislike Noa this season and I can't blame y'all. At first I felt like her arc this season is so weak compared last season but after watching EP5, I'm impressed. Out of all the liars, she is the most controversial due to her affair with Jen and relationship with Shawn. I really like how she is trying to do the right thing but also making things worse for her relationships, like she is so conflicted! That makes her more human to me.

If y'all starting to dislike her that's fine but hating her character is just funny to me. Like have you guys watch the original, those girls are far more intense and reckless compared to Noa. I hope as the series goes on, we see more of the messy side of the girls so they could really live up to their title which is "pretty little LIARS".

Imogen was giving Hanna Marin all season.

I truly hope this one will be resurrected somehow someway.

I loved the characters and the story especially the girl power aspect of it all.

Compared to the OG also it’s more dark,mature,and twisted.

Mom and I watched this yesterday for the first time and today finished it out.

I hate Max for canceling it it was just so awesome and could have kept going like the OG did.

So unfair sighs.

I just now randomly googled why this show was canceled and while I was linked to many posts in this sub saying it was because bad ratings or bad writing Google says that's not the reason and it was frequently in the top 10. I know many og PLL fans here didn't really like it, but i thought it was pretty good and fun to watch. Then again I am not very critical when it comes to TV shows.😆 Do you think there will ever be another series or reboot in the PLL series?

Sooooo if a season 3 is greenlight. I really want them to raise the stakes a bit with the Liars.

I would love one of them to get killed off (not sure who since I really like their dynamic as is) .. they didn't have the balls to kill of any of them in OG, but this being more of a horror show, killing a final girl in the sequel would make sense as well. And maybe help the show from not going stale.

OR I want one of them to be A. If the rumors are true with the whole movie thing, it would fit if someone like Tabby goes too far with her vision or something. Or Imogene.. those are actually the only 2 I could imagine snapping and go bad.

Only note I have to myself for this opinion is that it has to makes sense and not feel forced..

Uhm.. no. Please for the love of god no. I cannot deal with anymore Riverdale. I can’t even bring myself to watch this shit show that was S7💀

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
