There's no way this show is for everybody. It's either you're into it or not. It's not pretending to be serious. But at the same time, it's always incredibly serious. Everything is live or die.
I had a not-so-fun Covid experience. With the lethargy, I chose to rewatch this 'over a decade old' pop-iconic GG. At one point, Serena and Blair had ended their friendship foreve!!!!!. And by the time I woke up from a nap they were besties til death so them part (and the same story line was playing out between Vanessa and Dan).
It's not of great substance. But it is of great style. It is not (always the best writing), but it has some hilarious plot lines + smart / witty moments (def many teams of writers at play).
My age group (40), who loved The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, High Fidelity etc, this is the later version. You'll most likely dig it if only in secret.
Nobody went into this show to win Emmy's. Like the Vampire Diaries (not that I've watched that to). These shows are straight up early 2000s soap operas. They're ridiculous.
But THAT is why it's fun. If you love drama, fashion and can stand a little bad acting with a cast of entirely sexy (mostly) actors, then enjoy.
It's like junk food.
IYKYK.
