It's just as strange a society as the vampire strewn landscape of True Blood or the space and cylon world of BSG. That is to say, how fascinating you find these characters is completely dependant upon how much you can buy into their world.<br /><br />The relationships between the characters, especially between Blaire and Chuck, Blaire and Serena, Rufus and Dan and Jenny, Rufus and Lily, etc., are what keeps me coming back. The witty dialogue (because it truly is top notch, watch any lesser teen drama to make you appreciate lines like, "Georgina: I gave up my old ways when I let Jesus take the wheel <br />Blair: That is a Carrie Underwood song, not a life choice!" ) and the acting (which is across the board good, with slight exceptions, and with obviously stand outs like Meester and Westwick) are what makes me unashamed to be a fan. Although often ridiculous and frustrating, Gossip Girl manages to create its unique world and make it feel real enough that I'm emotionall invested in the outcome.<br /><br />Give the show a chance. I would say watching it from the beginning, and preparing to settle in for at least four episodes (but better yet six), is the best way to do it. If, after 4-6 episodes, you still don't get it, then the show might just not be for you.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787160335403340713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34964493.post-47519483195600076322009-06-22T14:47:32.593-04:002009-06-22T14:47:32.593-04:00Explain to me what is interesting about this show ...Explain to me what is interesting about this show ? Seriously i really don't get it beside Leighton Meester acting talent and sometimes Ed Westwick talent (he can be very too over the top).pauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932970730984279471noreply@blogger.com
