It's definitely missing the charm and glamour of the original Gossip girl series. It has a lot of drama and scandles, I'll give it that. Don't like the characters at all. I feel like the characters are hard to fall in love with. Not excited about the cast as well (I would have preferred well known/famous actors who look the part/looked good). There's too much of teacher involvement. There's no mystery about who Gossip girl is because we know from the beginning that the teachers are behind it. So it's not a reboot for all the GG fans out there. Its basically just another show with the same plot. The original was something special and this is just a regular teen drama show.
