Gossip Girl

This show is terrible. I mean it's HBO. You expect a certain kind of caliber when a show is on HBO vs The CW. Somehow, the original Gossip Girls show on basic cable from the early 2000's might I add, still manages to blow this one out of the water. I wasn't the greatest fan of the original, but it did have some interestingly flawed characters and had a decent storyline. This one tries to be a bit more risqué adding in some sex scenes and f bombs, but it fails in every way possible. It's boring, they revealed "Gossip Girl" far too early so they already ruined the mystery and potential shock value. I agree with another reviewer that the characters, with the exception of maybe Zoya, are unattractive and fail to captivate. I like that they added some people of color, but none of these characters are believable (not because of their race). Storyline is already stupid and the acting is horrible. Way worse than CW horrible. I don't see this show lasting long. Super surprised, and disappointed, in HBO.

New gossip girl simply does not want to gossip? She simply takes orders and plays along with what the people want. Characters are bad and have no soul. It's a clear copy of Elite but in minors' version.

HBO needs to choose what they want, you either do a total kids' show or a 18+ one. They try to do both, threesomes and sexy plots with poor sex scenes and kids' conversarions.. everything is just bad overall why.

Well well well Hey there Upper Yeast Siders.

Gossip Girl here.

Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of New Yorks Elite Oh Audrey have you no flair? Trying and failing miserably to be Blair?

Julien Oh Julien. A wannabe Obie contessa whereas you are just a Budget Vanessa.

A Serena stand in cast without giving much thought? That would be the wooden face Zoya Lott.

No-one will cry Wolfe over the poor man's Bass without any sass.

Luna And Monet are fillers that need their own fillers. Pun intended

they say imitation is the best form of flattery. But what do you do when everything falls flat?

You don't need cancel culture to cancel something that never truly began.

XOXO Loyal GG Lover.

The OG isn't fantastic writing or anything but it had a great sense of what it was a trashy soapy drama. This one takes itself too seriously and then tack on the characters which don't have the same charm as Blair/Leighton, Dan/Penn and Chuck it makes for a very dull first episode.

Proof you don't need to remake/reboot everything for the sake of it.

Bad acting, bad script...things feel forced and you can see some developments coming a mile away. Not interesting, I'm dropping after 1 episode. The first gossip girl was not peak tv but it was well made and entertaining, at least the first seasons. But this reboot is definitely not the same level.
