Right now, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is on Foxtel Now and several other platforms, sitting at 8/10 on TMDB. Consistently well-regarded, and easy to understand why once you start watching. The procedural format can be hit and miss at this level of ambition, but Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin handles it with more confidence than most. The 255 viewer ratings on TMDB are not an accident — shows that sustain that level of engagement across their run have earned it. 2 seasons gives the story room to breathe and the characters room to develop. Get it started on Foxtel Now and see why so many viewers already have strong opinions about it.

At its heart, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is a procedural that understands what makes the genre work — character first, plot second. Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in the present day, a group of disparate teen girls finds themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago, as well as their own. Bailee Madison and Chandler Kinney lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2022–2024), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry episodes where the mystery takes a breath — Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin passes that test consistently. The consistency across the run is what elevates it — not every episode is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Perfect for viewers who think they have already seen all the great crime dramas. Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is the one that tends to prove them wrong. The writing earns its twists rather than manufacturing them, and the result is a show where the resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary. Fans of One of Us Is Lying will recognise the tonal balance between tension and character work. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. If you are going to commit to one procedural this month, make it this one.
