ComedyFan2010 Review of Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl (2007–2012)

A show that is ridiculous and yet so fun and addicting

[9/10 · 17 May 2019]

I binge watched Gossip Girl on Netflix in about two weeks. I just couldn't stop. Many people complain about it not being realistic. And it isn't. It is pretty ridiculous in some parts. It is a soap opera where people keep on falling in love with others in their friends group and then 10 minutes later be crazy in love with another of their friends. And where they do horrible things to each other but after hating each other for a few episodes are best friends again. But this is also what makes it entertaining. It is an over the top show about rich people with very exciting lives. I liked the characters. A lot of them seem to be extremely irritating at some point but then you start loving them again (which I guess explains how they go from hating to loving each other as well). not just the teenagers but adults are a big part of the show with exciting story lines. I loved Lily and Rufus. Two of my favorite characters on the show. Rufus the kind and moral father, Lily a real badass that was such a great business partner with her stepson Chuck. Main teenage characters are also great. Blair and Chuck are iconic characters who kept me watching. Side characters were also great. Especially Dorota. I loved her. She brought so much humor to the show and I loved her relationship with Blair. Eleanor and Cyrus didn't get enough screen time in my opinion. We got to see some awesome guest characters that brought us exciting stories. Some of them were villains that we loved to hate because they kept us entertained, like Georgina for example. I was sad when it ended but I was satisfied with the finale. You will be surprised by who the Gossip Girl is. I personally am not disappointed even though it didn't make sense when you look back to some incidents. They probably only decided on who it is at the very end. So many were disappointed. But I am willing to look it over, considering that the explanation was pretty good and it all that matters in a very unrealistic yet fun show. I hear there might be a reboot and I really hope so!
