First of all, I've watched all seasons 1-6.
There isn't directly any storyline, or it might as well be a weak one. The story is a bunch of teenagers living a enormously privileged life with their parents's money. Drugs, scandals, sex, parties is the main thing this series is about. It is a highly unrealistic world they're living in.
When it comes to acting.. I have to say, I don't think Blake Lively (Serena VDW) is any good. The best performance through the series is Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf). Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) has some strong moments but sometimes I'm like.. what on earth was that? Chase Crawford and Penn Badgley is OK at points but I'm overwhelmed how they can make some scenes so incredibly bad.
The only real thing in this series, the only thing I feel like have some strength attached to it is the relationship between Blair (Leighton) and Chuck (Ed), its not fantastic but considered the other parts, then its acceptable
Another thing is the final episode was bad. I was so mad at how bad it was.. It felt like they squeezed everything into the last one, like it couldn't be over quick enough.
So why didn't I just stop watching it, if it had poor storyline and acting? Unrealistic events? I don't know actually.. its addictive, and fun to watch at some level, and I really felt satisfied watching these completely irrational, spoiled teenagers growing into adults. And then the gossip is.. again... unrealistic but funny. And I have to say I enjoyed watching this, maybe because its so far from my real life. And then I find the love story between Blair and Chuck extremely good.
People also tend to say the series is relatable. But the only thing I can see is stupidity, so if people can relate to that, fine
Watch it if you're bored on a rainy day, but don't let it go to your head, because after all its not that good.
(It gets 7 out of 10 because of its addictiveness and Chuck and Blair)
