one of the MANY reasons the Gossip Girl Reboot failed…
i think one of the main reasons the gossip girl reboot failed was due to the fact that there was no drama!! (stay with me here). there was. toning captivating about it it was literally just about two sisters who reunite and other side plots that weren’t that all interesting and when there was an interesting side plot the creators just decided to make it last like only two episodes long. Meanwhile in the original there were better and longer more thought out storylines that were more scandalous. another reason is that the whole point of gossip girl is that it was about manhattans ELITE, gossip girl highlights the extreme pros and cons of holding a lot of wealth and status but the reboot entirely ignores that and replaces that power of being old money with the power of being a washed up influencer, and the show also lacked that opulence we all craved for and wished we have in our lives and the only sign of money in the show is the obnoxious and ugly outfits that the characters wear (not including Monet, Luna and Audrey) with all these massive designer labels in them (pointing at julien). Last thing is that most of the characters were insufferable (ahem julien) and i admit in the original they did do some pretty messed up things but it didn’t make us want to turn show off it made us want to continue watching . now that’s all i wanted to say.
