Gossip Girl

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?

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..

I think that for gossip girl original followers this reboot is a dull and boring copy. It's just another series about 2021 and basic drama and basic issues like any other series. Not as poetic and classy, just sexual and unoriginal. This is an offensive (in my opinion) reboot for the culture that gossip girl created years ago and that's still in our lives today.

I came to see it with so much of expectations cause I am huge fan of original gossip girl & the storyline itself. The relationship turmoil with each other. I know its a little bit early to come to a judgement but involving teachers in the students schemes its beneath the art & creativity even unrealistic.

& as far as character goes whom are prioritized in the first episode I personally don't feel any interest to know more about them.

If in the future I give it a another shot that's only because of Audrey & Max. Really want to know what's the deal between them.

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.
