It's time to tAlk about Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin 

mike saying the sentence "this video is sponsored by hbo max" deserves an EGOT

“This video is sponsored by HBO MAX” love it how it all comes full circle

i’m sorry but the scariest thing about this show is them being born in 2006 and being 16

One thing about the PLL girls is they are gonna go thru it quickly. Most of these events are happening Monday-Friday. They are booked and busy.

so nice of mike to help out smaller companies like HBO. Just shows how famously slay yet humble he is.

I’m dying, Mike saying “so I guess some spoilers for the original series” while sitting in front of wall which literally labels who is dead and who is A.

HBO better give you a FAT FUCKING CHECK because I literally just binge watched the entire series in less than 24 hours JUST so I could watch this explanation and follow along. I hated most of it and the characters but I did it for YOU 😭

Mouse's family is "Disney-obsessed". Her mother, Elodie, is played by Lea Salonga - the singing voice of 2 Disney princesses, Mulan and Jasmine!

“This video is sponsored by HBO Max” has the same energy as Alison turning around in the garden to reveal that she’s alive. Oscar worthy 👏🏾

Theory; HBO asked Mike to analyze so they wouldn't have to track the plotlines on their own for season 2

Tabitha's dialogue could almost word for word be given to a season one Jughead Jones. We get it, you like movies.

can we talk about how mouse “playing pretend” daddy- daughter with a grown man was just not addressed like why was she doing that why was that needed????🤔

the fact that we don't even have hbo max in australia but they're sponsoring this is a slay of such incredible magnitude

you said “sponsored by hbo max” and i SCREAMED. you slayed so hard they couldn’t resist but give a little sponsor.

screaming crying throwing up its been a year part 2 when bestie??????

mike being on the trending tab? mike being sponsored by HBO?? mike being on a PLL red carpet?? galactic levels of slay

I really like that the crusty men in this series are portrayed as villains, instead of, you know, love interests…

Huge sponsorship!!!! Huge!!! This is huge!!!! For hbomax to get the chance to work with someone as big as MIKE. Congratulations hbo congrats

i can’t BELIEVE you made Marlene King STEP on my NECK for ANOTHER 10 episodes!!! HBO Max if you’re reading, this video literally made me watch an entire season!!!!

I know one of the biggest criticisms of this show is the reveals being figured out too easily but it was honestly so refreshing. The one thing I hated about the original PLL is after the first A all of a sudden you would get these random as hell A’s who are completely irrelevant. Remember Spencer’s random twin that came out of no where in the last season? I love that this show hid A but still lead us on the journey to figuring it out and making sense. Also helps with rewatch value

there's literally no one else i'd rather have explain pll: original sin to me than Mike, sponsored by HBO Max

Mike, expectantly: "Do you see where this is going??" Me, having never seen anything PLL related except for his videos and already lost: "Absolutely, that's wild babes."

I’m shocked that Mike didn’t just have a whole segment on the girls’ AMAZING Halloween costumes. Imogen as Rosemary from Rosemary’s Baby at least needed a mention

I still can’t believe Noa’s boyfriend blew up at her mom for being a drug addict then turns around and starts doping for football…

I can’t believe you didn’t read the A message sent to Faran because it sent me. “You’re gonna slay as the Black Swan.” The yassification of A

ok i love how original sin ALWAYS has title screens of the day/month for almost every scene because original pll's timeline was so fucked 💀

marlene is going straight to jail for that aria & ezra reference

The ONE thing that bothered me the MOST about this whole series is that Millwood is supposedly pretty close to Rosewood (since I and T could drive there) and they mentioned Radley (the hotel) and Aria and Erza were hinted at (or name dropped?) but the girls didn't mention the OG A???? Like "hey do you guys remember some years ago when a group of teenagers in Rosewood got texts from someone called A and it turned out it was a classmate of theirs? Yeah, when one of the girls were presumed dead for like 3 years? And theeeen they got kidnapped a few years later by another A that turned out to be the sister of the girl that was presumed dead? Huh, strange that that happened, that A was such a big thing that happened to them and now someone is doing something simillar to us. Like REALLY?? NOT ONE MENTION OF THE OG GIRLS and their A???

“I could drain the pasta” I have laughed out loud and clapped so many times. This is brilliant. And I’m dying for you to see episodes 8,9 and 10. We love you

"Madame Giry" is the ballet mistress in Phantom of the Opera, and the Phantom himself is known for sending threatening notes signed with an alias. Cute little wink to theater fans.

2:56 the mental image of Mike setting up scaffolding and laying on his back to complete this art like Michaelangelo is very important to me

honestly, the most shocking thing that happened during the series was when Eddie mentioned Riverdale and the Sisters of Quiet Mercy like my jaw was on the floor

I got the biggest jumpscare of my life when they went to 'Ezra's books' in Rosewood, I don't want to see that man again Update: screaming ,shaking, crying, throwing up and suing marlene king for that cursed finale

chip being the SAer is horrifying but makes SO much sense..when he was telling imogen he was a loser who watches weird movies in his basement and has a mad crush on his friend who's not interested i was getting serious incel vibes AND he went with imogen to the clinic and pretended to be the baby's father!!! gooped.

Congratulations to HBO max for being able to sponsor mikes mic - the only person who has the RIGHT to talk about anything PLL

They casted the actors perfectly!! Like the liars look like their parents. And the younger versions of the Mom’s look like the current day Mom’s

Have I ever watched this show? No!!! Could I listen to Mike talk about it unedited for 14 hours? Yes!

the graphic mike used for the character map is so iconic it’s giving catching fire wiress you’re a genius tick tock it’s a clock realness

I can’t believe Mike didn’t mention that Tabby went to EZRA’s Books while they were spending the night in Rosewood.

It's fundamentally important to the universe that Michael Microphone wears his limited edition Rina Sawayama hat anytime he talks about PLL

Me finding out "to thine own self be true" is actually originally from Hamlet and not from Barbie Princess and the Pauper The Cats Meow was slightly devastating. I really thought they'd chucked in a really niche barbie reference.

pretty little liars + mikes mike = slay to end all slays. it’s a simple formula

Madame Giry? Marlene canNOT live without inserting 20 literary easter eggs into each episode of this franchise

"that's CHIP. that's CRISP" this is peak Naur Country comedy

"This video is sponsored by HBO Max" the fact that Mike doesn't even have 1 million subscribers yet is INSANE

mike could literally sit and stare at the camera for an hour and I’d still be entertained lol

does Tabby ever say anything that's NOT a movie reference? she can't even keep it limited to horror movie references

One theory i have about Mouse and the weird date on her missing person poster: She said her moms "want her to stay a kid forever" so like what if she literally is ten years older than the other girls but because she still looks young her moms are passing her off as a student even though she's a full grown adult? Like probably not but imagine if that was the twist

I'm not usually one for corporate shilling (or leaving comments... ever) but I've gotta say, it feels pretty good knowing there's a social media manager at HBO that knows their audience. Not just know, but like... KNOW. Congratulations Michael on this Galactic Slay™️

I have not seen this show but I am 100% sure that Mouse is either older than she thinks she is, or there was another Mouse before her that did actually get child-snatched and then her moms adopted a replacement or at least something along those lines

We're in the trenches, waiting for Part 2 😭😭

the way i was like “ugh ok i’ll go watch the show before watching this vid” and i binged the whole season in 24 hours.. they did what needed to be done!

Also, can we please talk about how all the moms had babies around the same time?? Thats friendship lol

the effort mike puts into his posters/backdrop & overall videos DESERVES A GRAMMY, EMMY & every other MAJOR award 🥇

Chip is definitely the one who SAed both of the liars and I also believe that the sheriff is deeply involved in some way.

I don't know where else to put that theory, because I waited the whole season and it didn't happen. But! I still firmly believe that Wes is Ezra's brother Wes! The age, the looks. The desire of involvment with a younger woman lower on a vertical of power. Many people noticed that Wes and Tabby here is a modern more honest re-telling of Aria/Ezra story, but could this be because of their relation?

I can only hope that the creators don't wage an imaginary war against the viewers in trying to fool them, no evil twin plot twist again please 😭

Mike really for the people having access to all 10 eps an not watching the last 3 yet. Got more integrity than most journalists. Props my guy !

I love mike being so pressed about the DOB on mouses missing poster when I literally just think it’s a typo/oversight because it makes not fucking sense lol

BESTIE I NEED THE LAST EPISODES IN A VIDEO BC I DONT HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN TO WATCH IT MYSELFFF 😩😩😩😩

So, the question has been raised multiple times about why A cares about karen and kelly. I think this has to mean that they have another connection to the events of 1999. Perhaps Sheriff Beasley had some link to Angela, I'm thinking he was the person who assaulted her

i mean actual leatherface's whole thing is that he's a cognitively compromised person being puppeted by his less physically strong but much more conniving and psychopathic family so i mean. your theory about leatherface a being the brawns and someone else being the brains is theorying x

10:04 I love that “lasagna-box” is the first descriptor of Rosewood

The way they're trying to redeem themselves by portraying inappropriate relationships to be actually inappropriate

madame giry being a reference to phantom of the opera which is all about a weird guy running around in a mask and killing people……they are so clever for that

idk if u know this mike however i feel it is essential info, madame giry is the name of a character (a ballet instructor) in the phantom of the opera who helps the phantom access christine (the girl who he stalks) and she keeps his location/identity a secret

After finishing the series, I'm so impressed at how accurate your theories were

after watching all the episodes i do have some stuff to say abt the A reveal so SPOILERS BELOW !!!!!!! DO NOT CLICK IF U HAVENT WATCHED ALL 10 EPISODES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . i kinda like mike’s theory of wes being the mastermind behind A a little bit better than the actual reveal bc A. Wes is a freak and i feel like he would wanna scare tabby into his arms basically or blackmail her into getting closer w him, and if he knows abt Chip he would wanna punish him. B. while i think clanton was a good A bc he connects the timelines, the whole ‘dad not wanting to connect w their kids’ trope is getting RAMPANT in this series. C, having angela have a twin brother who we have heard NOTHING ABOUT at ALL from ANYONE (besides in the waters house where his height was on the doorframe) is soooo cliche, esp the whole ‘he’s deformed so no one knew about him’ like pack it up quasimodo we have seen this trope in a million things it’s not new and it’s degrading to ppl with deformities. ppl w facial deformities are not monsters they’re just people who didn’t develop physically like everyone else did bye. and physical deformities =/= mental incompetency and i somehow feel like this series is leaning toward that for archie. plus i hate that eddie name dropped riverdale as a town nearby and angela’s supposed brother’s name is archie it’s giving me the ick if there is a crossover i’m leaving. i’m also kinda mad we didn’t get to see archie’s face like for all we know clanton could have been lying abt who archie is so idk if i think lestherface is really angela’s supposed brother archie. unrelated, i think it’s weird to find out that davie really did s-word and wrote an A in blood on the wall. like why would she do that? to let the ‘99 liars know that A was back since it seems like they maybe dealt with A before? idk i’ll be interested to see how they explore A & the moms interactions more in s2. lastly i called it by ep 4 (? whichever was the female gaze one) that chip had been the one to assault tabby and maybe imogen as well but when he asked if he and imogen could pair up for the baby thing i knew immediately it was him bc he was being SO sus abt it. i knew from the start that there was something off w chip bc he was so clearly pining after tabby and was just being a freak abt it idk call it my intuition. but chips face when sidney came in and accused wes of r-wording tabby?? now that was beautiful we love to see an SA-er get scared 💛 if u read this long lmk if u agree or whateva i just needed to share my opinions and theories

I've had my eye on chip for the longest time cause I DO NOT trust a man that nice who is always called the nice guy and who now all of a sudden likes Imogen after already liking Tabby. Also, as a PLL vet as well, I quite simply trust no one and nothing.

39:10 No but the fact that he then proceeds to mention Riverdale’s sisters of quiet mercy 💀 I didn’t need them to tell me PLL and Riverdale are in the same universe, the disrespect

Babes we need a follow up on the last three episodes

We need a part two. Because that finale made me scream. From a jump scare but also …. That one part at the end. Whyyyy them. We had other choices HBO.

OKAYY HBO MAX SPONSOR!! no one deserves it more

My theory: Chip is A, ANGELAS BABY. Angela was a teen preggo (like our girlie Imogen). Sherriff Beasley is the person who assaulted Angela. Leatherface is Chips Uncle which is why they are working together. I feel like Chip assaulted Imogen and wanted to get her pregnant (like his mother was). The only way this works tho, is if Angela didnt actually die in the warehouse, but you know the PLLCU loves to pull a fake death moment. This would make Sherriff Beasley Chips father and the twins, his half sisters. This could explain why A is targeting the twins at all.

i can’t believe you didn’t mentioned the most groundbreaking discovery made in episode 6 in which they talk about someone moving to Riverdale?!?!?! i was on the floor, does this mean its set in the same universe ? then its supernatural double confirmed with Caleb seeing ghosts and all but fr congrat on that sponsor i’ve been going between the show and your video, watching your recap of each chapter after i finished them, awesome video and i love your theories

Speaking of horror/thriller references, I love the connection between Faran’s storyline with performing Swan Lake and struggling with her mother putting unrealistic expectations of perfection on her, and the movie Black Swan that also deals with some similar themes. Even if it wasn’t intended that way, I think it’s a really cool reference

One other thing of note: The letter left for Elodie which said "Meet me in the HAll of Mirrors" - the A in Hall is NOT written in red marker. Every other letter and message from A has emphasized any A that appears in the message. Elodie's letter does not. I also think it's interesting how the parents are getting the brunt of the targeting and our main cast seems to be protected more than anything. I think this goes deeper than just someone wanting to avenge Angela. Perhaps what caused Angela to be an outcast in the first place was cruel or mean behavior that was encouraged by Angela's mom. I think "A" wants to get rid of bad parents more so than get revenge. A sees the main cast as good people but sees their moms as being corrupting influences.

The fact that I started literally TAKING NOTES on this series because of Mike’s series is iconic. And as of episode 7, I have 24 pages of notes…

i’m just imagining your apartment actually becoming a crime scene and someone who hasn’t seen the PLL videos catching a glance at your whole ass wall

I agree that Sheriff Beasley def assaulted Angela! It would make sense why “Kelly” started getting A texts too, bc her dad was apart of the original sin. The only thing that doesn’t add up is that he’s obviously a bit fruity 💅🏼

This new series is iconic in its own right. The aesthetic is ✨everything✨

I think "Kelly" is actually Karen. Karen knew about Scoliosis. Karen does that mouth open thing, and in the show they zoomed on her mouth when she did it. Karen also wears heals while Kelly wears flats. Also, I died a little inside when they mentioned Riverdale. Please don’t crossover. It’s too much.

The fact that Mallory acted out the part of Kelly acting as Karen to the principal in such a fantastic way that it made the viewers doubt that it was Kelly rather than Karen even though she keeps saying that she is Karen, is absolutely oscar, grammy, emmy, nobel peace prize worthy. Also please no spoilers in the replies, I just finished episode 2. I haven't watched the full series yet.

SPOILER FOR THE LAST EPISODE!! and a warning for talking about r*pe . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . can we talk about that moment where the girls send leather face after the rapist? the girlbossification of the rape revenge genre! legendary. also the portrayal of the rapist is extremely accurate sadly, the man who raped me was similar.

I think it's interesting that Leatherface most often kills people who the Liars would have motive to get rid of. I feel like he's setting it up to frame them as a way to get back at their moms for whatever happened at the Y2K party, and the way he's making sure the moms know it's payback is he's reminding all of them of the party and dropping all these clues. I also think it's a Scream situation and there's definitely two killers, two As.

I'd pay big money to see Mike do one of these with Dark (Netflix). Somehow everything would make sense

Please tell me I’m not the only one shocked by who is going to adopt Imogen’s baby.

No babe please do the ceiling. Giving Michelangelo’s Mic

can we talk about the fact that pretty little liars is now confirmed to be in the same universe as riverdale??? like NAURRR not that

I both cannot believe the PLL wall is still up and yet I am nowhere near surprised. I love it. TBH, if it was available as a poster (merch?…….) I would probably buy it.

Plz I am DYING for a The Vampire Diaries unhinged recap. It would be iconic.

bestie??? what happened to the last 3 episodes???? pls don't leave us hanging 💘

Mike did you forget that Noa took the USB drive from Tabby saying she'll destroy it but then there was no actual scene of her doing that

Madame Giry is a reference to The Phantom of the Opera. In the musical, Madame Giry is Christine’s ballet teacher, and an ally of the Phantom’s as well… could just be an Easter egg, but it could hint at something more, seeing as A is a masked individual… 👀

11:29 SHE REPLIED WITH EXACTLY WHAT I SAID ALOUD😭🤣

I think it’s chip too, but the only reason I think that is because he, offhandedly brings up the baby’s father “you don’t have to tell me who the father is” That kinda set off my warning signs ya know there’s also little clues, he was jealous that tabby went to a jock party, he wasn’t offended when Greg flashed the girls but he’s supposedly the good guy I don’t buy it Edit- I WAS RIGHT!

The way I screamed when you said “This video is sponsored by HBO MAX” was inhuman. The sponsorship looks good on you.

I don't think Chip is leatherface or A but In am genuinely concerned he's the guy who assaulted Tabby or Imogen, or both of them since they laid that groundwork. The subtle foreshadowing with him while they've been pushing the idea of it being one of the jocks so hard makes me uneasy, and I think him immediately calling himself the father at the adoption clinic was probably done on purpose.

I love the plot so far but honestly when it comes to the writing, the show sucks. it's giving me twitter-esque conversations and that is sometimes ruining the viewing experience for me. 💀

It's been like 10 months, we need a PLL:OS where are they now 😂😂
