Based on the books by Cecily Von Ziegesar, Gossip Girl focuses on a privileged group of New York teenagers and their comparably glamorous social lives. When Serena van der Woodsen suddenly returns from boarding school with no explanation, it takes no time for tongues to start wagging. Cue “Gossip Girl”, the voice behind the website gluing together all the characters in this entertaining show, who reports on what everyone in their social circle is up to. Nobody knows who is behind the site, but everyone pays attention to what it has to say. It is the website mechanic that gives Gossip Girl a new twist on its rival teen dramas. The cast, too, have plenty of punch, with the likes of Blake Lively (Serena), Leighton Meester (Blair) and Taylor Momsen (Jenny) just some of the highlights among a good ensemble.
Gossip Girl is ultimately a fun, enjoyable drama that knows its target audience and hits it very well. Slickly packaged and easy on the eye, it’s a fine piece of television drama, and has enough here to suggest a long and successful run on our screens. —Jon Foster
DVD Description
Based on the teen novels by Cecily Von Ziegesar, the utterly addictive Gossip Girl follows the lives and loves of a group of rich New York teens.
When the privileged prep school teens on Manhattan’s Upper East Side first learn that Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) is back in town the way they learn all the important news in their lives: from the blog of the all-knowing albeit ultra-secretive Gossip Girl. No one knows Gossip Girl’s identity, but everyone in this exclusive and complicated vicious circle relies on her website and text messages for the latest scoop. Even Serena’s closest friend, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester, Entourage), is surprised to find that Serena has suddenly ended her self-imposed exile to boarding school and returned to Manhattan.
Keeping track of the shifting friendships, jealousies and turmoil in this wealthy and complex world isn’t easy, but it’s what Gossip Girl does best.
