Gossip Girl (2021)
All show, no substance
The writing on this show is terrible, unnatural, and results in characters that the audience is not invested in watching (excluding the sisters and maybe Otto, the boyfriend). As for the plot, making the teachers "gossip girl" (something that is revealed in the first episode) in order to "take down" the school is a vindictive plotline that frankly seems quite pointless in my opinion. What group of 30 year-olds would create an instagram page to take down a bunch of 16 year-old teens by trying to stir up drama? This is a plotline doomed to fail.
Also if they're gonna cast people in their late twenties to play 17 year-olds, the least the creators can do is make sure they can act.
Overall, this reboot is the definition of all show and no substance.
Young Royals (2021)
Authentic and Heartfelt
I loved this show so much. The way the characters and storylines were portrayed felt so real, complex, and touching, and the incredible acting certainly elevates brilliant writing. The portrayal of the relationship was so perfect, but I also loved how the show tackled Asperger's, ADHD, classism, and so many other nuances of human life that aren't usually represented in the media. Overall definitely worth the watch.
