Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Episode 1: Rancid Vibes (Complimentary)

We're back with the start of Original Sin and we have a ton to talk about! We discuss our thoughts on the big changes in tone, how this relates to other PLL series and our preferences for horror. We also run through our favorite characters, the start of the mystery, horrible and pathetic older men, the intricacies of the dance world and movie/tv depictions of Swan Lake.

Episode 104 content warnings: murder, gore, suicide, self harm, abortion, abuse, sexual abuse, rape, policing, gaslighting, mental health, manipulation
