So far, the show seems to be trying (and failing) to channel HBO’s smash hit “Euphoria” - it completely misses the mark. The TV-MA rating (ramped up from the original’s TV-14 label) gives “Gossip Girl” a chance to try some edgier subject matter that the original “Gossip Girl” couldn’t. The new show is littered with Gen Z slang and attitude, which makes the show feel like it’s for us, but with its gratuitous sex scenes and profanity, I can’t imagine 12- to 15-year-olds are going to be watching (not with their parent’s permission, anyways). Sure, some Gen Z-ers have binged 2007’s “Gossip Girl” in a couple of weeks (we all make mistakes, okay?), but the majority of us were too young to watch it when it first aired.

Nice guy Otto 'Obie' Bergmann IV is a dead ringer for the original show’s Dan Humphrey he seems great now, but I have a feeling that Obie will be fated to the same terrible character development Dan was.Īnother issue the new series faces is its target audience. Although half-sisters Julien Calloway and Zoya Lott are immediately endearing, overbearing villain Monet de Haan and jealousy-stricken Audrey Hope make scenes uncomfortable with their constant eye-rolling and snarky comments. The students themselves are roller coasters of personalities and emotions. However, following underage students around to get dirt (and even taking compromising pictures of them half-naked) is just plain creepy, and I find it hard to engage with the people we’re supposed to root for. The worst part is that Gossip Girl is a group of teachers at the school who are being victimized by their students.Ĭlearly, these super-rich elite students are manipulative monsters, and I can sympathize with the teachers. It’s a huge blow to the main appeal of the plot, but that’s not even the worst part. So now 2021’s “Gossip Girl” premieres and almost immediately we know exactly who Gossip Girl is.

Part of the fun was trying to figure out who it was - who was really behind the scandalous posts? Fans waited six seasons for an answer, and while the answer wasn’t satisfactory for most, at least the mystery was entertaining. In the original show, Gossip Girl was a mystery voice and drama instigator in the school halls, with an insight into the lives of everyone that mattered. The immediate problem with this reboot is the entity of Gossip Girl herself. The highly exclusive private institution is riddled with money, drugs and frantic power grabs from anyone and everyone. The new series revolves around a group of friends that rule Constance Billard School for Girls, the same school that Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodson ruled 14 years ago.
