August 28, 201113 yr Author Does anyone even watch this anymore?! :( I AM HOOKED. In the middle of Series 4 and the Juliet plot is so gripping - especially with Vanessa & Jenny being involved too. Loving the growth of Blaire & Chuck's twisted relationship, Blaire is probably one of my favourite TV characters ever, srsly :(.
August 28, 201113 yr I've got season 4 on DVD to catch up. I was loving season 4 until I fell behind.
August 28, 201113 yr Author Yeah I can never seem to keep up with it on ITV/online either so I just always end up buying the boxset, probably for the best coz I hate waiting each week for a new episode!
August 28, 201113 yr I've not watched ANY of Series 4 so I must get the DVD- I take it's out then? Or I may just watch the first couple of episodes online and If I like the feel of it will then purchase the dvd.
August 28, 201113 yr ITV Player is terminally shit as well which never helps. When I get Virgin at my new flat hopefully the box will work better than my Sky+ box ever did and I can just series link it :lol: The Juliet storyline wore a bit thin on me at times but provided some brilliant moments. I agree that Blair is amazing.
August 28, 201113 yr Honestly, half the time, the promos for this show are more exciting than the show itself.
August 30, 201113 yr I'm up to the V-Day episode. My good god I missed Blair's scheming ways. I never realise how much I love this show until I actually sit down and watch new episodes.
August 30, 201113 yr Sometimes I wish the episodes were only 30mins. There is just too much going on it stresses me! Really need to watch series 3 and 4 lol.
August 30, 201113 yr I revel in the drama of it all and I enjoy spending the hour lusting after Leighton.
August 30, 201113 yr I revel in the drama of it all and I enjoy spending the hour lusting after Leighton. If I was straight I would destroy her! However the world would be a very diffrent place if I was straight haha! In the real world I would appricate either Ed Westwick and/or Chace Crawford destroying me ;)
August 31, 201113 yr Author I know, I adore Blaire so much!! I got up to the episode where her and Dan take down Juliet and everything's revealed etc. I'm glad it wasn't so predictable actually, and I agree, it really is one of those shows when you don't realise how good it is when you sit down and watch the new eppys, it can be SO addictive at times!
August 31, 201113 yr I got really hooked last night. The end of the season is superb. So many twists and turns it's just so addictive.
October 29, 201113 yr I'm watching at UK pace, so 2 eps into the new season and it remains fantastic. I'm absolutely LOVING the Dan and Blair friendship it's outstanding to watch.
November 8, 201113 yr Did anybody else know that season 5 was it's last season?! I hadn't seen it announced anywhere, but Kristen Bell just asked if everyone was watching it in its final season?
September 2, 20213 yr So this is now on iPlayer, including the new series too. I never watched it originally and I'm about to finish season 2, I am obsessed
September 2, 20213 yr I've not seen any of the original but I watched the 2021 series last week. I'm glad it's taken a different angle rather than being a direct re-make. Was getting really into it from the third episode onwards, looking forward to the next batch of episodes in November!
September 16, 20213 yr The problem the new series has is... that it doesn't really have a 'lead' star. Like the original has Blake and Leighton... Blake was gorgeous, but didn't really add much storywise and I always felt Serena was a bit of an oddly placed character... whereas Blair was this bitch, who they kinda ruined trying to give her a heart... but the girls lit up the screen every scene they had. I can't even really remember half the character names in the new series.

I agree that the characters are just not as strong in the new one, Serena and Blair WERE Gossip Girl, but the other characters were also very strong, Jenny, Dan, Chuck, Nate (pretty boy more than anything), Georgina, Vanessa (annoying more than anything) and even the parents Lily, Rufus, Elanor... all added to the cast excellently. The current cast just feels a bit tame in comparison.
