OK I'm 13 episodes into the 1st season (Which means I've watched all the episodes before it went on a 3-month break because of the writer's strike) and like I mentioned before this show is a East Coast/NYC version of "The O.C.", from the same Creator/Producers/Writers/ShowRunners of "The O.C.".
I'm LOVING this show because of that (& also because I recognize a lot of the cast from various movies & other TV shows). I gots to put some family members & friends who fukks with "The O.C." on this show, so I can have a discussion.
It's gonna be hard to put dudes onto a show called "Gossip Girl", though. The only chance to convince them is if they're already a fan of "The O.C.".
I was like that too. Then i reached towards the end of season 4 and I havent watched it in a month
