Gossip Girl

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.
