This show really surprised me. It is amazing and the only reason people hate on it ( Don’t even try and deny, it’s a fact) is because the cast is diverse and has POC as the leads. I bet it killed everyone to see a black woman with a shaved head being the lead. This show is the definition of perfect. I specifically love the performances of Savanna Smith (Monet De Haan), Jordan Alexander (Julien Calloway) and Zion Moreno (Luna La) all their lines are delivered flawlessly. They are ethereal. They slay the fashion. These three characters are so relatable. Whitney Peak is a great addition to the cast. Her performance is stunning. The plot twist of the teachers being Gossip Girl is actually very interesting. Each scene with them has me on the edge of my seat.
The background music and soundtrack in this show is literally fine wine. Whoever runs the social media marketing needs a raise. After watching an episode, the Gossip Girl instagram account updates with all the drama you see in the show. Each character has their own instagram account. It feels like you are part of the Gossip Girl world.
The entire cast chemistry really shows as they actually hang out IRL, you can feel the love through the screen, especially after episode 5.
I really hope you listen to my review and ignore the hundreds of negatives. People keep comparing this show to the original. You can’t compare 6 episodes to an entire 6 season show. It just doesn’t make sense. Please watch this show! It’s amazing!
