Overall, for fans of the original series, this show is a must-watch. It takes all the messed-up intrigue and unbelievable mystery of Pretty Little Liars and puts a fresh spin on it. While it’s certainly not perfect (some pacing troubles are a little glaring), it absolutely delivers on its promise to bring more of that classic teenage drama to our screens once again, with a bit of a sinister twist.
Last season, Original Sin dared to bring a still-warm franchise back from the dead, and Summer School continues to prove that this campy, bloody teen drama has so many more scares and secrets left in its tank (hopefully for many more seasons to come).

First of all, I am very disappointed in Metacritic. The algorithm is on drugs or has a hidden agenda, but no serious professional would give this show an 83/100 score. Maybee I'm not smart enough to realize this show is a satire of teen-horror-feminist shows, but, sadly, I think that's not the case.
Report
The fact that the five Liars on the show are in group therapy together for the shared trauma the endured last season is the grounding force of the show. .... The new season brings a new killer, new romances and friend dynamics, and enough changes from last season to make it feel like it’s not just treading the same ground.
Original Sin’s blend of mystery and horror is done surprisingly well. A series of stylistic homages to classic slasher flicks sets the exact-right tone.
Madison, Zaria and Reficco give particularly compelling performances as their characters fall deeper down A’s twisted rabbit hole, while Bechtel makes the most of playing two different brands of terrible teen. As long as you don’t think too hard about the mystery’s logistics, the show provides enough intrigue to keep your attention through the next episode. It might sound basic, but enough reboots have failed on that front to at least make “Original Sin” a refreshing outlier.
It also deals, at times seriously, with issues about overcoming trauma. All of this makes one hope that this “Liars” club sticks around [at] least for its junior year. We might even follow them to grad school.
Season 2 is a polished, well-thought-out sequel to Original Sin that proves its titular Liars are not to be messed with.
