Gossip Girl

Not being a super fan, I did watch the original so it is hard not to make comparisons. So I will begin with that:

• Original characters were more likeable (even the "mean" ones) and had more depth
• Plot of the original much more interesting. E.g.: the secrecy of the GG made things a lot more engaging
• Fashion also much better on first run
• The new GG is creepy

All in all, the show by itself can be a meach passing your time if you have nothing at all to do.

I just finished the pilot episode and come straight here to see if I am the only one who is feeling so annoyed or there are others.. No surprise almost everyone here is left high and dry.. What are they thinking? I can understand they have tried to be inclusive of black community but atleast they could have found better faces or more likeable characters.. We are used to watching Sarena and Blair.. there is no one near to them in this reboot.. Rivalry between siblings.. oh it couldn't get any more lame..

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.

The original gossip girl was fun and classy. This is simply trashy. The characters are supposed to be 14-15 years old. It's full of sex, nudity, tons of bisexual activity, drugs, and even talk of using Botox. Is this really what we need to be teaching pre/teens and teens to look up to?

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.
