After 'Ravenswood' and 'The Perfectionists' both failed, can HBO Max's 'Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin' beat the odds?

Love it or hate it, pretty much everyone that has been online since the year 2010 has heard of Freeform’s hit series Pretty Little Liars.

Another aspect of the spin-offs that didn’t quite work was the mysteries and the pacing of their respective mysteries. The Perfectionists started with Nolan Hotchkiss being murdered, but given what we saw of him in the pilot episode alone, it wasn’t a loss to those around him. Too much time was spent on the aftermath of Nolan’s death, while the characters’ connection to him made investigating his death seem rather pointless.

Probably the most major misstep that both of the previous spin-offs had in common was breaking up a fan-favorite couple to make the story work. With Ravenswood, Hanna and Caleb call things off to support the story that Caleb and Miranda are soulmates torn apart by the curse on the town, and so each character could move forward on their respective shows. On The Perfectionists, Alison moves to Beacon Heights, away from Emily and their daughters, shortly before their divorce is finalized.
