s01e08 — Posts on a Scandal

They did not delay long with the secret of Julien's father - and that's good. Although, I suspect, they will stretch this topic for at least a couple more episodes.
And Max seems to have fallen in love :))

"Against the background of your tape, Gretta Thunberg seems to be Jeffrey Tubin" ahahaha
It's so interesting to watch the guys in polyamorous relationships)

Well, the previous episode was better. There are too many Zoey and Julien here, they've got a threesome, and they've also shoved an infuriating ballerina into Max. Although Obi and Aki's reunion was good. Obie suddenly reminded me a lot of Dan from the original, and not even in character, but in appearance and voice. Dan would be nicer, though. Another good thing was Audrey's hairstyle at the beginning of the episode, where she had two ponytails. Pretty woman!

And who would have thought that Rafa of the teachers would be the most adequate 😬 absolutely every one of them wants to kick in the ass, well, where did such moral freaks come from?

What?? Is Minsk really mentioned here??!

The second half of the season has become much more interesting, especially the Max/Aki/Audrey triangle.

Wait, so almost all the teachers there already know who gossip girl is?? That's the downside of the series... there's no such intrigue as in the original Gossip Girl. Sometimes I don't really understand the gossip that a gossip girl writes, especially the one about Julien's father, I didn't understand at all why she was and what was the point of introducing her

That's what I was expecting from the relaunch of Gossip Girl, and not the comical parody that was in the first 6 episodes.

I don't remember so many teachers knowing about this ‘project’, and the way they behave is a damn thing)))

They argue almost openly and decide to blame all the children (not without sin, but they would have figured it out themselves), and now the parents. What I didn't like about the old gossip girl was when they started gargling adults (I especially remember how Penelope started getting active there). Because, damn, gossip girl is all childish, teasing, tickling nerves, having affairs. What about here? There is no confirmed information, even the tabloid refused, and they said, "we will post, and you go on vacation." It's too much.

Yes, the truth about my father has come to light, and that's another story. But in fact, gossip girl should shut the fuck up and keep quiet.

Sooner or later they will come for them. I already had a suspicion that Max understood about the teachers (they exchanged glances in the hallway) and his Thanksgiving dinner speech was more indicative of the teachers, but that's what it seemed to me.

How outraged was this council of teachers - how do so many teachers really know about the account? But the main thing is how in general it is possible to expel the person who proposed and started all this. I don't like the blonde, but it was her idea, and she was able to implement it all and turn it into a popular blog - why the hell can she be kicked out at all? She could have changed the password to her own and scored on them all. And since they are all also involved in the account, it is unlikely that they would have handed it over

I didn't think that the situation with the fact that gossip girl is a teacher could become more cringe-worthy. But they introduced the teachers' council *facepalm*
We had a sad time with Julien's dad, he seemed so pleasant and adequate...

Zoey is very mad!! An inadequate and spoiled (although it shouldn't be in fact) child) in general, it's amazing that the most interesting line that the scriptwriters were able to build is a threesome)))) Is it interesting to watch these three separately? Obi seemed to star in MO perfectionists, did he at least look more lively there, did he even look like a ghost here, or did he forget how to play at all? or does HBO pay less than ABC? 😂😂😂😂😂

Teachers are a complete trash and a cringe, or whatever they say now. 😅

Yes, it's a restart. Yes, there is no need to compare. but. There were so many things that could be raised and beautifully presented... did it turn out that back in 2008, the CW, which is rarely capable of anything at all, made Gossip girl better than HBO now?

The problem is not in comparison, but in the fact that half of the characters are not interesting to watch. And if you cut them out of the series, you won't even notice anything.

But it's still more interesting than it was in the first half.

In general, I still can't get rid of the idea that this is very similar to the Elite) as if it were a relaunch of the American style, and not the original of the elite) still, there is not enough style and gloss, as for me)

The blonde teacher had to change her account password and tell all the other teachers to fuck up. They thought they were some kind of person.

The Teachers' Council is a dead ringer! What? 😳
Jordan made me sick! He was such a "friend." Well, well.
And when he deleted the messages from Obie, it became clear that they had their own motives. But which ones…

The transition between the previous and current episodes is too messy. Aka Audrey/Max suddenly interrupted their attraction to each other, returning to a couple and a friend who allegedly constantly blows and wants to fuck. Why should I? Is the motivation for the conflict normal? No, you haven't heard. It's just that in one second I suddenly wanted to go back to the old one, although it didn't work out in the previous episode.

Who knows where the teachers' council came from, running a gossip girl - what is it anyway? Gossip Girl has generally become a very foreign subject. Claire is nothing at all, she mumbles: no, I will not do as you want and I will select the posts myself! Oh, well, let's confer before each publication! Damn, she wants to be like Dan Humphrey so much, but she doesn't stand close to him and doesn't strive in his direction. She started some kind of nonsense, not an intimidating acc, and now, apparently, gossip girl will generally be thrown from side to side, because those who could not cope with the students openly - "talented teachers" - have taken up the task.

An attempt to return the second bitch-friendship is a total failure. Just for what? She had a couple of lines throughout the series, all of which were uttered during Julien's reconciliation. For the background? Anyway, there are enough characters besides her who perfectly fulfill the function of furniture.

And the theme of the series itself is very rawly presented. They wanted to get into the social policy update: about kanselling, culture, violence, but they didn't expand the topic at all, all the meanings were lost, only the loud words "Cancel Calloway" were said. The characters' experiences also ended with loud, standard, uninteresting phrases and the slamming of the door, which did not cause any emotions at all.

The previous episode was stronger than this one, for sure.

The only good moment is the reconciliation of Aki and Obi and their interaction in the restaurant:
"Well, how do you like saying no?
" Feels damn good.

How Zoey pisses me off. Okay, the situation itself sucks, and even if you don't believe him, then why add oil to the fire. It's been a long time since I've been so infuriated

Zoey has been infuriating since the first episode.

The first episode that hooked me with both the theme and the emotion at the end. But I still don't understand why I'm watching this.

"I don't have enough money for a psychologist to get to the bottom of the problem." 😂😂

Audrey is such a good friend❤️❤️❤

God, how cringe-worthy is this... what are the motives of the characters? What are they guided by? Why are they behaving like this? There are 0 answers to the questions, and 0 characters and their feelings are revealed again!
Where did the ballerina come from? What kind of nonsense is Aki and Obi's relationship? Sometimes one doesn't need the other, sometimes the other way around. How absurd.

This is called "a secret to the whole world." They're pretty dumb for a gossip girl. No one should know such things at all, and they tell such a serious secret from right to left. In real life, someone would have passed them long ago. And considering how nasty and arrogant the blonde (teacher) is, it's generally surprising that no one leaked it.

It feels like the series was created for the sake of an agenda, not for the sake of a script. Raising topics relevant to the United States outside the context of plot and common sense

Let's make a list of the most annoying characters.:
1. Zoey
2. Zoey
3. Zoey
