I remember being intrigued about 'Gossip Girl' back when the promos for it were running on theCW online. Lamenting that it wouldn't be over here in the UK anytime soon, I forgot about it until a couple months later where I read an article in a newspaper where the NY correspondant wrote about the addictive-ness of 'Gossip Girl'.
Since then I've watched it, and it is addictive not because it's crap but because its genuinely good. The story thus far is strong, the characters very well played by the main cast, especially Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, the two main gals. No doubt the show has over glamourised the world of the Upper East Side but that all adds to the allure, not to mention everyone is gorgeous looking. The programme weighs gravitas with the snide, sly world of the rich very well - come on, we all love that stuff!
Like theOC, I find myself intrigued by the adult story lines as much as the teen ones (i.e in the same way Sandy and Kristin were good to watch, so is Rufus and Lily). I think the solidity of each episode comes from the fact that it's been adapted from books. In my opinion, theOC was always a little hairy around the edges.
As the title character suggest, 'You know you love me!' Check this out if you're a fan of US (teen) drama. It's too good! ^^
