Gossip Girl

worth a watch

i aspire to be the blair waldorf

good but then everyone started stressing me out

I like it a lot— maybe embarrassingly so. The melodrama is so good, the love triangles sound bad on paper but are fun to watch. It really encapsulates what relationships are like in high school (in a played up, Manhattan elite, Euphoria kind of way).

Not finished. Teenage angst pastime

first season(s) good later ass

I'm very disappointed about this popular show that was once among all my friends. I thought it was so much better. It's terrible. The moment I finished Season 1, I shouldn't have continued. This rating goes to the first season.

Started strong, ended poor.

I had a lot of fun watching this, and I do really like the fact that there is a proper ending in spite of the endlessness nature of the show. It is sometimes annoyingly stupid and superficial, whilst at other times charming and fun. I wouldn't watch this for any anthropological insights or social realist dramatics, but it's surely alright if you want to kill braincells in a way that is acceptable.

Watched first season. This has some good stuff, but it is getting fastly outdated and also American society is so conservative, reflected both in personalities and storylines of this series, that many things are difficult to relate.
