What to Know

Critics Consensus

Boasting a tantalizing new mystery along with a refreshingly grounded crop of pretty little liars, Original Sin is a gossipy good time.

While nothing will compare to the wild and crazy and fun 2010-2017 whackadoo period of time on TV, the tone here is different and it’s working. Go to Full Review

... A place where grown men trying to seduce teenage girls is Categorically Bad, and where horror isn’t Adam Lambert on a Halloween train, but instead is Halloween. And Scream. And I Know What You Did Last Summer (And What Your Mothers Did Too). Go to Full Review
Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 07/28/2022
Developed by Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre Sacasa, it’s highly self-aware with a slightly heightened design that contrasts with an earthy cynicism and visceral darkness. Bailee Madison is outstanding as the pregnant lead. Go to Full Review

Don’t worry about catching up on the original and failed spin-off shows, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is an entirely different story that tackles a murder mystery with many twists. Go to Full Review

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin has all the makings of a hit, but it remains to be seen whether it’ll reach its potential. Go to Full Review

It’s dumb, is what I’m saying, and while the characters are vaguely interesting, they’re not dynamic. Go to Full Review

p 0 @joy110 4d story wise? it's ok. and make you wanna binge watch. but as i continue to the last season, i just can't take it with the characters. they progressively act so annoying. i know imogen and tabby had traumas, but they were just overreacting at this point. i thought i would like noa best, but her decisions just make me so mad. like tf girl... i even need to pause a bit bcus i got so irritated by them. their characters are all poorly written. and i feel like they don't have "the bond" to each other. it feels fake and flat. but the show itself is ok for a teen scream series.... See more Idk I May 28 Several plot holes, protagonists on moral high grounds, rushed writing and basically nothing like Pretty Little Liars. See more ARNEZ C @Arny6tearz 11/11/2024 I love this The twists and turns I was a fan of the original show but this is on a much different level with higher steaks this is insane I can't wait for season 3 never forget A- is always watching! See more Vittor S 06/30/2024 I loved the series, it just needs to develop the relationships between the boys and the girls, and don't forget the origin of pll. See more Samantha T @Samanthajothoma 06/20/2024 the girls is why you should watch this show! love a slasher show,but the lead cast girls all have fantastic chemistry with each other. not many shows really delve deep into the topics that this one does, while still being interesting and entertaining with a splash of murder. i have found myself rewatching it multiple times since it premiered. See more David E 06/07/2024 I was super excited about a new “darker” PLL. But this is getting worse and worse. The writing is bland, the characters are cliche, and it spends more time talking about social issues. Im all for social issues, but it feels forced. Like they dont know how to make it flow with the story line or just randomly cut to a scene to make there issue. Now i see why my boomer uncle complains about our generation 😒 See more Read all reviews
