The last episode is purely the culmination of the theater of the absurd! They shoved everything they could, and some kind of comedy came out:D You can only be happy for the Moon, she deserved to become the face of the company. Everything else...I don't even want to describe it, because each character has dropped to a new level of kringe, although no one has been able to surpass Kate)) And it's a shame for Max, of course. In general...don't write stories on your knee, that's my advice! Especially if the series is a reboot of such a giant.
PS At the end there is an additional scene that supposedly hints at a sequel (if the series had not been closed), and it is also quite delusional. It is necessary to be able to stop in time)
All the storylines are cut off, which is generally expected for a series with 10 main characters, which is closed with one series. It's great that they tried to bring back our old emotions by showing the faces of an old gossip girl — I'm talking about Eric's husband. It was unbearable to look at Georgina. Eleanor got a disgusting tribute, although in fact, she is as detached from other people as she was.
Perhaps there are fewer attempts to please the former fans and there would be time left to bring gossip girl to the surface normally. Such a thoughtful Kate, who has been through a lot of shit, suddenly snapped at one news about rights? Rivil would be dumber only if she went to the met gala)
From the good, it's beautiful. Great costumes, Rome has become a real outlet for the eyes, as well as for the characters — it was conveyed well. I was killed by the fact that Zoya found love 15 seconds after she voiced her expectations, but again, they tried to catch up in 60 minutes.
In short, you can watch the rest, even with Kringe's vibes, but you can now close the chapter and forget.
By the way, am I the only one who didn't understand how Obi turned on the stream on gossip girl from his phone?
@tomash: not from his own. they were passing the phone to each other to post another gossip and Obie asked Julien for the phone to prove that he was also on their side.
thanks for Jonathan and for mentioning the Spectator. you can exhale, send the series to the viewed ones and run to review the original)
it feels like either the series was written entirely, or sooo much was cut out. The moon went half mad at Jaycee and "left the group", Obi abruptly stopped wanting justice and in one message solved the problem of the gossip girl's personality for no reason at all. the mess for the new season is generally the most disgusting, fortunately it will not be, heh.
in general, the second season probably came to me more than the first, but the viewing was with the phone in hand and watching memes \ instagrams, etc. so I won't be bored
It was impossible to come up with a dumber plan to tell the whole world your biggest secrets and pretend to be a Gossip Girl. But by the will of the down screenwriters, it worked. Finally, it's all over, you can throw what you saw out of your head, making sure that any restarts of successful series are practically doomed to failure. I hope that all showrunners will understand this as soon as possible
I will support the commentators above: I can't think of a more delusional ending. To merge everything by writing on the knee is a complete absurdity. The backlog for the continuation in the scene after the credits is also a bad idea. In general, the season is on 4, but the last episode is terribly crumpled. Most of all, it's a shame for Max. If you think by the standards of karma, then maybe he deserved it, but did he not atone for his sins. Still young. Pitifully. If there is a parallel with Chuck, then such a thing. I'm upset.
@Biote: What didn't Max deserve?) It's a shame, of course, that the trio broke up, but people break up, this is the norm of life. And Max won't disappear for sure, he's already found a man for himself-he's found a distraction at the bar, he won't be left alone. But it's good that they showed that he was really worried, was really very much in love. Although at the beginning of the series to see him so worried about the relationship seemed something unreal.
For some reason, I wanted so much to see Chuck, who held out his hand to Max... and hoped that someone from the old ones, like Blair... or Louis, would approach Audrey in the art gallery
The season came out better than the first one! But Kate Keller was soooo stupidly leaked, I didn't believe it when she ran there all nervous to confess for the sake of money. And without her, I don't see any point in watching anything further, since she was my favorite heroine. And in general, the idea of gossip teachers seemed very cool to me, although the execution was a little limping. In the end, it's good that the series was closed. And the last couple of minutes - I'll pretend that I forgot :)
The picture and costumes, as always, are beautiful, everything is very beautiful. But the plot... what is it? Nothing is unclear. I agree with the comment above, it feels like a lot was cut out. As if they planned 3 more episodes this season, but here they crammed everything into one. Zoya abruptly found her idel, Julian and Audrey lp again, Max went all out, and Claire ppts as stupid. Well, scriptwriters, you seem to have revised the time too much and events for several months have become impossible...
The season turned out better than the first, but still a level below even the most disastrous recent seasons of the original. The only ones who pleased in the series (more precisely, probably, I must say minimally irritated) are Luna and Max. And if you can be happy for the ending of the Moon (as well as for the whole series with its main story arc earlier), then baby Max, apparently, is doomed to suffer:( It's very joyful that this nonsense and pulling a cock on an elephant has ended, I hope none of the channels will pick up this second-rate scenario :) PS The finale is very delusional, but from almost fifteen Italian minutes it seemed to warm my soul, no one was fighting stupidly, everyone was just enjoying life and doing what they are really interested, and not sucked out of the finger disassembly)
@Smar: I would like to continue if they change the hell out of all the writers. People need to cling to something when viewing. In the old Gossip Girl, for someone it was the relationship of Chuck and Blair, for someone the personality of gossip girl, for someone Serena and with whom she will stay, for someone the complicated friendship of Blair and Serena. So you can continue for a long time. There's nothing to hold on to here. There is no reason to include the next series. I like the actors (although some of them play terribly), I like the roles that they came up with and that's it. Give them a good plot and you can somehow save this story
Two points remained unclear: 1. Why did Julien go to her aunt alone, because with Zoya they have one mother for two? 2. Did it seem to me, or did Zoya's new "cavalier" hint that he should have been there with Max, because then Zoya said that his boyfriend was stuck in Berlin (and Max was in Berlin)?
@Smar: about 2, maybe the mysterious guy who gave Max his hand is the friend that Zoey's new "beau" left in Berlin. I also read that this guy was supposed to play an important role in season 3, but since the series was closed, many scenes with him were cut from the final series. And I understood that at the end Audrey and Julien were just saying that they met him, they just cut it out and didn't show us. Julien just says that the guy she met was dumped by a guy.
I wouldn't be surprised if the writers planned that this curly-haired guy wanted something from them and "accidentally" ran into everyone, and Max from his trip would come with this mysterious guy/ex-boyfriend of this curly-haired guy and everyone would meet in NY. And, by the way, Safran said that he wanted to make a triplet an endgame, they say, to prove that polyamory is real. So Max would have gone back to Audrey and Aki anyway
I burned down how it all ended with a crumpled denouement with a silly and cringe-like plan for revealing all the secret secrets, but in beautiful outfits. There was an unpleasant and incomprehensible sediment after watching the last episode. 🤨 All H.O.H.O.
the series itself came out quite good, especially liked the second season, as well as the overall development of the characters of Luna and Max (and it hurts for the outcome of the trio of Max-Aki-Audrey)), but the last series... everything is so crumpled, sharp, silly (although the scenes in Italy were very warm) that the aftertaste was not the most pleasant
I noticed several references to the beginning of the 4th season of the original Gossip Girl, where drunk Chuck / drunk Max got, how Blair met Louis in the gallery / Zoey's acquaintance, and the general entourage of summer holidays in Europe. What you have done, now more than ever I want to reconsider...
Gossip Girl is sacred to me, I also bought CDs because almost no one had the Internet. It was so wonderful, the luxurious life, the intrigues, the dirt, the gorgeous clothes. I also wore a hoop, there was even a bow like on Blair's uniform, yeah, kringe))))
It seems to me that there was potential here, which was simply drained. Okay, the plot, but even the atmosphere of permissiveness and privilege could not be embodied, this is the basis of everything. The elite came out looking more like a Gossip Girl than a Gossip Girl herself)
Probably, time has just passed, now every insta-influencer, blogger lives the same way, no one is surprised anymore. Plus, the era of tolerance and greater awareness has flourished, it does not fit into the old plot formula. But the visual was still pleasing to the eye. I hope to see these actors again.
I agree that the Elite came out more like a passerby to gossip girl :) except that the picture is beautiful here, but I'm so glad that the series is over. None of the characters, except perhaps Max, aroused sincere interest and sympathy. The storylines are crumpled, the characters behave illogically…
To be honest, on the scene of Kate's exposure, I waited until the last minute for her to wake up now or for Jordan to explain to her that it was all just a setup - this scene looked so ridiculous and plastic🤦🏼♀️ Okay, thanks for finishing so quickly)) Thomas Doherty, for whom I originally started watching, met all my expectations by 200%, so the rest is to understand and forgive))
The series is full of lolz. however, as well as the buzzers themselves and their attempts to do something the same instead of a new one. But I liked some of the characters, it's a pity, except for the eternal Zoey and Julian, they didn't reveal almost anyone
The last episode was just terribly leaked, but thank you for closing it. The series itself is as disastrous as possible, it was more or less interesting with Georgina and that's it.
Among this theater of absurdity, Kringe identified references to the original Gossip Girl: like drunk Chuck in Europe and Blair's acquaintance with Louis...
And then there's Jonathan, and the mention of the Spectator...
Go to the old Gossip Girl to review for the tenth time, or what?))
So ladies and gentlemen, results! The series itself was average, with beautiful actors who played well, it was expensive enough and colorful. BUT THE SCRIPT... Here please do not comment. The whole thing reminded me of Riverdale, when characters seem to like it, and the writers decide to do everything so that they don't have a job in the future.
Season 2 was definitely 10 times better than the first one. Episode 7,8,9 made me hope that Season 3 would be even better. But alas and ah. This is probably the only time I won't scold Warner and HBOmax for closing the series.
It's just a pity for the characters, because it was possible to come up with such a cool plot, intrigues, secrets, scandals...
And a little bit about the final characters: 1) The Holy Trinity has fallen asleep, it was expected. I love Audrey very much anyway. As for Max, maybe it's my fantasy, but the feeling is that he met not just a random guy at the bar, but someone from the main caste of the old Gossip Girl. And it was simply cut out so that fans wouldn't throw stones after the news about the closure of the series. 2) Julien and Obi. In a word, I am happy for them. It's a pity that Obie's vile sister came out of the water dry. And Jules deserves a happy ending. 3) Zoe, our pseudo-main character, better she wasn't in this series. I couldn't love the character and feel her nature. About her girlfriend, who appeared in the second season, I'm generally silent. 4) Luna, my bunny, my favorite, the best. I love this character, all my neurons. I'm glad she got along with her mother and eventually became brand's face. She deserved it all. But I'm not sure about Jules ' concession, I think on the road she meant that Luna is more of a designer than a model. Krch. I just didn't express myself correctly and ruined my friendship. 5) Monet. I hated that character. But I felt sorry for her, after they showed all the "charm" of her family. I hope she gets rid of her mother's shackles. 6) Kate) what a fool. 7) scene after the credits of krinj😂
Well, that's it. The ending was vivid, but delusional. The series is remembered solely because of the threesome copied from the "Elite" and Kate's eternally surprised open-mouthed face.
I thought for the whole episode that they had managed to redo the finale to close the series, but in the end I realized that my hopes had not been fulfilled. At first, I thought that Max had been "picked up" by someone from the original Gossip Girl, but after everyone discussed some kind of person, the same one, who was in everyone's interest, it became clear that this was all one character and a trick for season 3. Which, alas, will not be.
Can someone please explain to me how Audrey and Aki realized in season 2 that they DON'T love Max the way they love each other? Because I didn't understand why they never confessed to Max. Well, apparently atki doesn't like it. It's a shame.
It's clear that there would have been more drama on drama, but still I would have watched on.
@catherinnelev: How did I track this: - Initially, Audrey and Aki were attracted to Max, but they didn't want to cheat on each other and it was kind of awkward. - Max offers a threesome, they try it, it excites. new sensations and all that - the threesome drags on, Max gets emotionally involved in this story, and wants to date openly. On the contrary, the guys want to hide and try to "slip" Max under different people so as not to arouse suspicion. - Max is not thrilled, and in the end they still agreed to advertise their relationship. - everything seems to be great, everyone knows about them, they support each other, and Max confesses his love to them. Audrey and Aki don't respond, and there's a certain tension. - Aki has a story with a kiss on the side, which Audrey soon finds out about. Max pulls away because the guys never responded to his confession (or there was another reason, I honestly don't remember anymore :D) - Audrey and Aki come to Max, he expels them with the words: if we are not together, then no one is together. They say you can't just dump me and keep dating yourself. And at that moment, before they break up, Audrey quips at Aki about the kiss, he's like: Are you jealous or something? And Audrey asks the question: and when we shoved Max under half the city, were you jealous? and, apparently, the answer for both is "no." From which it is subsequently concluded that they love each other, and they needed Max more for the joke.
I might have missed something, I just shared how this chain formed in my head))
@soundtrack: xs about Max "for sharpness", after all, Max's "shoving" under half the city was at the very beginning of the relationship, when it was more of a sexual experience than a romantic one for everyone, and he wasn't really in love yet (although he began to realize that he didn't want to cheat on them, Yes) + Max Audrey approached quite in the middle of the 2nd season, while Aki somewhere on the side to kiss and were doing their thing) in short, the theme of love Audrey and Aki to max was not disclosed) but I think, give the show a green light, in future episodes, the subject would Doge) to the end, even if Max fell in love before both of their partners, this is not to say that their relationship was doomed to failure or something)
Well, what do we have at the end of the series? The first season turned out to be more dynamic and interesting, as is only possible in the case of this project. There are questions about the finale, but it could have been closed even worse and more ragged. But it was so funny to hear the accusations against Kate that she was meddling in someone else's personal life, and our children are as innocent as their rich parents, who committed more offenses than Kate) Revealing the identity of Gossip Girl from the start of the restart turned out to be a mistake, by the end I was finally convinced of this. Since, in fact, we don't have any other explosive intrigues in the storylines. And this is the main drawback of the series - an hour's analysis of the shortcomings of rich kids, to whom everything came into their hands without much difficulty. That's why you don't get into the characters. In the same "Elite" in the last season, the creators turned the flywheel at least towards emotions and psychology. Here, everything is running and climbing, and in the end, it's boring. The best character is Luna, who took her course despite pressure from Julian. A good friend: modeling is not your thing, JUST BECAUSE. Support 10 out of 10)))) And, returning to Luna's words in the end, I quote: I'm tired of your school squabbles. So despite the plans for season 3, I don't see the point in it.
I'm yelling at the commenters that they're insulting Kate, but they're justifying toxic, spoiled teenagers. Briefly about the attitude to the teacher's figure, in principle) Oh, you.
@mrbradshaw: Well, it's like comparing an adult with teenagers, even if they are rich and spoiled. Well, let's omit when Gossip Girl took on her parents. Personally, it was even a little interesting for me to watch all these negotiations between Monet and Kate's mother. but when an adult is a fully formed person (and even more so a teacher) He's making schemes to shit on children's lives, but more than that, it seems to me that everything is not okay with such a person.
In fact, it's a bit too messy and dreary a series.: And a met gala, and a scene of crumpled exposure in 5 seconds, and some kind of seed for season 3, in which there would be no gossip girl, but the current secrets of this stupid family [fortunately, the channel saved us from this] In general, I won't say that this is a phenomenal series, especially since it is far from the cult status of the original, but still it would be possible to finish the season in a less spatial way, trying to grab all the strings at once and not catching a single one. What's up with Kate? Has she been imprisoned or is there a court? Did any of her accomplices stand up for her? "Who the hell knows... what's on Luna's mind?" How did she even have such a fight with Julien when she went around styling herself for her for 2 seasons - who the hell knows Where did Zoya's father go to work next? Has his license been restored? "who the hell knows And this is just a small version of examples from a huge number of broken stories, the storyline of which is usually designed for no more than a season. In general, strange things is all like a legacy series - it definitely doesn't pull, like something simple to look at in the background, admiring the picture when you accidentally glance at it - exactly for this
It's good that they've closed it down. They were sooooo far from the original ! As always, everything was crammed into the last episode and it turned out to suck.
I finally watched it, more often I just turned it on in the background. I'll give 2 stars for: Max, Luna and the actors from the real GOSSIP GIRL (and not her likeness) who appeared in the series, as well as for Charlie XCX and the outfits at the Met Gala Sometimes there were funny or interesting moments, but there are very few of them, most of the characters are not interesting at all.. Even the most recent seasons of the original Gossip Girl, which I personally sincerely love, but many hailed, BETTER THAN THIS WHOLE SERIES!
I would like to note, in addition to the above, that knowing how the Met Gala is going, it was simply impossible to look at this nonsense ... at least this event is for adults, children are not invited and allowed there. And the red carpet looked so narrow, as if they were filming in the school corridor. And the Met Gala always takes place in the New York Museum with a wide ceremonial staircase.… This question and many others (about bars, clubs, independent trips) could have been solved simply by pointing out that they go to college, not to fucking school))) with the same Constance, for example... but alas. as they decided, so they decided. It's good that this is the end.
Lucas Gage's appearance on the red carpet as himself was also a pleasant surprise, because I had just finished season 1 of the White Lotus and realized the joke about the naked ass :D HBO shows its own here and there
Honestly, my personal opinion would be better if they didn't shoot the new gossip girl, no one will replace Serena and Blair, and the old gossip girl, I decided to watch this series for the sake of interest, what will they come up with for the sake of continuation, and this is a complete fuck....new Therefore, even if you throw slippers, even if you give up, my opinion will not change from this.
Is it my imagination, or were many of the scenes with the trio cut? For example, I have not seen Max confess his love to them, only their reaction to it.
At first, I didn't like the series, everything seemed terribly crazy. But after 2 seasons, I got so used to the characters that now it's even a pity that it was closed.
Finally, the series was closed. Because of the love for the original, it was impossible to quit, but just everything was so infuriating 🤦🏼♀️ By the end, Julia became very similar to the character of Serena (family search), Audrey to Blair with her style and two boyfriends (Nate and Chuck / Aka Max), Max in the last series is an even bigger copy of Chuck. The characters did not arouse sympathy, the plot seemed to be sucked out of the finger, the picture is beautiful, but the idea with a teacher who is so stupid that she also admitted that she did not understand what it threatened her.. It would be better not to shoot, although there were beautiful moments like trios and outfits.
The original "Gossip Girl" will forever remain one of my favorite TV shows, and out of respect for him, I tried to watch it... but yes, it looks like remakes of popular TV series are doomed. Because it's not even worth a nail of the original. It's a pity that they don't want to write normal scripts for new versions, but write on their knees…
the last third of the series is purely "they didn't give us season 3, but there was a little money left, so we shot a couple of scenes in Europe")) it's just why and what it was, it's not clear at all) in fact, there are no questions for the finale, except for the triad, which was dissolved for some reason - I understand that, probably, there was still hope for season 3 in general, I still believe that the triad is an endgame, which was not given season 3, but it would be nicer, of course, if this series, along with the disclosure of gossip girl, was finished and on their truce, leaving a cliffhanger except for the scene after the credits (a cringe, yes, but I don't care) , on the whole, I am glad that the series is over, but I will also be glad if a channel with more adequate screenwriters)) that would be good) or else I'm in favor of a spin-off, in which it would be possible to bring out the triad, and leave everyone else in a closed series)
I'm going to be the first one here and, in principle, the only one apparently who liked the series and I don't compare it with the original, because it's just a continuation)) Season 3 would be great to complete, at least to see what kind of family history Jewel has, who Max and Zoya will stay with
I liked the idea of this relaunch as a continuation of Gossip Girl. In any case, it's better than reshooting the same thing with some changes. Gossip girl teachers are also cool.
But the implementation, of course, is lame. The first season, while getting acquainted with the characters and ideas, I somehow liked it more. And this series turned out to be utter nonsense, which spoils the impression even more. What kind of idiocy is there with revealing the identity of a gossip girl?! Kate didn't seem too smart, but to give up like that for money?! If they had at least played this disclosure as a help to Zoey, who is not to blame, then, as for me, it would have made more sense.
I've been watching the original for quite a while, so I don't really remember how "tough" gossip girl was, but the constant mention: "the new gossip girl is tougher" I got tired of at some point.... And the appearance of Georgina and her actions.. causes a facepalm..
I was happy for the Moon, which was on the cover. But her tantrum and breakup with friends were very strange. It was sad to see such a conclusion
I really liked the finale of the series. Gossip Girl has finally been revealed, and now it's clear that Kate's "good goals" have made a crazy person out of her.. It's a pity that there won't be a third season. According to rumors, the plot should have been more lively. Well, that's not bad either)
I was upset that nothing was said about Monet at all in the finale. You could at least mention what she does in the end. Half of the season they made one of the main characters out of her, but in the end they pushed her somewhere deep and didn't say anything. I liked her the most
I really love the first Gossip Girl, so I was glad to learn that a sudden sequel would be filmed, but... the series turned out to be frankly bad. Both by itself, and even more so as a continuation of the sensational story. The plot is very weak. Firstly, the very essence of the anonymous gossip girl turned out to be hopelessly lost: not only was a fanatical teacher made the main villain, but her identity was revealed from the very beginning, depriving her of the main intrigue. Secondly, the characters are absolutely flat, as well as their problems, no one caused sympathy, feelings or feelings of affection (except for Max, maybe). The second season turned out to be a little better, but in the first it was unclear what was happening from episode to episode. The finale is crumpled, the storylines are cut off, the very exposure turned out to be completely ridiculous. The third season would definitely be superfluous, I hardly watched these two and was disappointed.
What did I just watch?! In general, it's amazing that two seasons lasted. There is no gossip girl spirit. Heroes don't cling at all, they just infuriate. There is no concept. It's all kind of shallow. In the end, the rich dumb kids won.
Discussion: Season 2, Episode 10 Join the Discussion
81You can only be happy for the Moon, she deserved to become the face of the company.
Everything else...I don't even want to describe it, because each character has dropped to a new level of kringe, although no one has been able to surpass Kate)) And it's a shame for Max, of course. In general...don't write stories on your knee, that's my advice! Especially if the series is a reboot of such a giant.
PS At the end there is an additional scene that supposedly hints at a sequel (if the series had not been closed), and it is also quite delusional. It is necessary to be able to stop in time)
Perhaps there are fewer attempts to please the former fans and there would be time left to bring gossip girl to the surface normally. Such a thoughtful Kate, who has been through a lot of shit, suddenly snapped at one news about rights? Rivil would be dumber only if she went to the met gala)
From the good, it's beautiful. Great costumes, Rome has become a real outlet for the eyes, as well as for the characters — it was conveyed well. I was killed by the fact that Zoya found love 15 seconds after she voiced her expectations, but again, they tried to catch up in 60 minutes.
In short, you can watch the rest, even with Kringe's vibes, but you can now close the chapter and forget.
By the way, am I the only one who didn't understand how Obi turned on the stream on gossip girl from his phone?
Are we splitting up?)
it feels like either the series was written entirely, or sooo much was cut out. The moon went half mad at Jaycee and "left the group", Obi abruptly stopped wanting justice and in one message solved the problem of the gossip girl's personality for no reason at all. the mess for the new season is generally the most disgusting, fortunately it will not be, heh.
in general, the second season probably came to me more than the first, but the viewing was with the phone in hand and watching memes \ instagrams, etc. so I won't be bored

Well, Julien and Obi suns, liked the shots with them
But the plot...
what is it? Nothing is unclear. I agree with the comment above, it feels like a lot was cut out. As if they planned 3 more episodes this season, but here they crammed everything into one.

It's very joyful that this nonsense and pulling a cock on an elephant has ended, I hope none of the channels will pick up this second-rate scenario :)
PS The finale is very delusional, but from almost fifteen Italian minutes it seemed to warm my soul, no one was fighting stupidly, everyone was just enjoying life and doing what they are really interested, and not sucked out of the finger disassembly)
1. Why did Julien go to her aunt alone, because with Zoya they have one mother for two?
2. Did it seem to me, or did Zoya's new "cavalier" hint that he should have been there with Max, because then Zoya said that his boyfriend was stuck in Berlin (and Max was in Berlin)?
I also read that this guy was supposed to play an important role in season 3, but since the series was closed, many scenes with him were cut from the final series.

And, by the way, Safran said that he wanted to make a triplet an endgame, they say, to prove that polyamory is real. So Max would have gone back to Audrey and Aki anyway
All H.O.H.O.
I'll review the original one again)

gossip girl
Gossip Girl is sacred to me, I also bought CDs because almost no one had the Internet. It was so wonderful, the luxurious life, the intrigues, the dirt, the gorgeous clothes. I also wore a hoop, there was even a bow like on Blair's uniform, yeah, kringe))))

Okay, thanks for finishing so quickly)) Thomas Doherty, for whom I originally started watching, met all my expectations by 200%, so the rest is to understand and forgive))

As for Max, maybe it's my fantasy, but the feeling is that he met not just a random guy at the bar, but someone from the main caste of the old Gossip Girl. And it was simply cut out so that fans wouldn't throw stones after the news about the closure of the series.
2) Julien and Obi. In a word, I am happy for them. It's a pity that Obie's vile sister came out of the water dry.
And Jules deserves a happy ending.
3) Zoe, our pseudo-main character, better she wasn't in this series. I couldn't love the character and feel her nature. About her girlfriend, who appeared in the second season, I'm generally silent.
4) Luna, my bunny, my favorite, the best. I love this character, all my neurons. I'm glad she got along with her mother and eventually became brand's face. She deserved it all. But I'm not sure about Jules ' concession, I think on the road she meant that Luna is more of a designer than a model. Krch. I just didn't express myself correctly and ruined my friendship.
5) Monet. I hated that character. But I felt sorry for her, after they showed all the "charm" of her family. I hope she gets rid of her mother's shackles.
6) Kate) what a fool.
7) scene after the credits of krinj😂
Hoho, Gossip Girl!
Can someone please explain to me how Audrey and Aki realized in season 2 that they DON'T love Max the way they love each other? Because I didn't understand why they never confessed to Max. Well, apparently atki doesn't like it. It's a shame.
It's clear that there would have been more drama on drama, but still I would have watched on.
- Initially, Audrey and Aki were attracted to Max, but they didn't want to cheat on each other and it was kind of awkward.
- Max offers a threesome, they try it, it excites. new sensations and all that
- the threesome drags on, Max gets emotionally involved in this story, and wants to date openly. On the contrary, the guys want to hide and try to "slip" Max under different people so as not to arouse suspicion.
- Max is not thrilled, and in the end they still agreed to advertise their relationship.
- everything seems to be great, everyone knows about them, they support each other, and Max confesses his love to them. Audrey and Aki don't respond, and there's a certain tension.
- Aki has a story with a kiss on the side, which Audrey soon finds out about. Max pulls away because the guys never responded to his confession (or there was another reason, I honestly don't remember anymore :D)
- Audrey and Aki come to Max, he expels them with the words: if we are not together, then no one is together. They say you can't just dump me and keep dating yourself. And at that moment, before they break up, Audrey quips at Aki about the kiss, he's like: Are you jealous or something? And Audrey asks the question: and when we shoved Max under half the city, were you jealous? and, apparently, the answer for both is "no." From which it is subsequently concluded that they love each other, and they needed Max more for the joke.
I might have missed something, I just shared how this chain formed in my head))
and he wasn't really in love yet (although he began to realize that he didn't want to cheat on them, Yes)
+ Max Audrey approached quite in the middle of the 2nd season, while Aki somewhere on the side to kiss and were doing their thing)
in short, the theme of love Audrey and Aki to max was not disclosed) but I think, give the show a green light, in future episodes, the subject would Doge) to the end, even if Max fell in love before both of their partners, this is not to say that their relationship was doomed to failure or something)
The first season turned out to be more dynamic and interesting, as is only possible in the case of this project. There are questions about the finale, but it could have been closed even worse and more ragged. But it was so funny to hear the accusations against Kate that she was meddling in someone else's personal life, and our children are as innocent as their rich parents, who committed more offenses than Kate)
Revealing the identity of Gossip Girl from the start of the restart turned out to be a mistake, by the end I was finally convinced of this. Since, in fact, we don't have any other explosive intrigues in the storylines. And this is the main drawback of the series - an hour's analysis of the shortcomings of rich kids, to whom everything came into their hands without much difficulty. That's why you don't get into the characters. In the same "Elite" in the last season, the creators turned the flywheel at least towards emotions and psychology. Here, everything is running and climbing, and in the end, it's boring.
The best character is Luna, who took her course despite pressure from Julian. A good friend: modeling is not your thing, JUST BECAUSE. Support 10 out of 10))))
And, returning to Luna's words in the end, I quote: I'm tired of your school squabbles.
So despite the plans for season 3, I don't see the point in it.
Oh, you.
And a met gala, and a scene of crumpled exposure in 5 seconds, and some kind of seed for season 3, in which there would be no gossip girl, but the current secrets of this stupid family [fortunately, the channel saved us from this]
In general, I won't say that this is a phenomenal series, especially since it is far from the cult status of the original, but still it would be possible to finish the season in a less spatial way, trying to grab all the strings at once and not catching a single one.
What's up with Kate? Has she been imprisoned or is there a court? Did any of her accomplices stand up for her? "Who the hell knows...
what's on Luna's mind?" How did she even have such a fight with Julien when she went around styling herself for her for 2 seasons - who the hell knows
Where did Zoya's father go to work next? Has his license been restored? "who the hell knows
And this is just a small version of examples from a huge number of broken stories, the storyline of which is usually designed for no more than a season. In general, strange things is all like a legacy series - it definitely doesn't pull, like something simple to look at in the background, admiring the picture when you accidentally glance at it - exactly for this
As always, everything was crammed into the last episode and it turned out to suck.
I'll give 2 stars for: Max, Luna and the actors from the real GOSSIP GIRL (and not her likeness) who appeared in the series, as well as for Charlie XCX and the outfits at the Met Gala
Sometimes there were funny or interesting moments, but there are very few of them, most of the characters are not interesting at all..
Even the most recent seasons of the original Gossip Girl, which I personally sincerely love, but many hailed, BETTER THAN THIS WHOLE SERIES!
This question and many others (about bars, clubs, independent trips) could have been solved simply by pointing out that they go to college, not to fucking school))) with the same Constance, for example... but alas. as they decided, so they decided. It's good that this is the end.
Therefore, even if you throw slippers, even if you give up, my opinion will not change from this.
All that remains is to review the old Gossip Girl and wait for more worthy projects.
in fact, there are no questions for the finale, except for the triad, which was dissolved for some reason - I understand that, probably, there was still hope for season 3
in general, I still believe that the triad is an endgame, which was not given season 3, but it would be nicer, of course, if this series, along with the disclosure of gossip girl, was finished and on their truce, leaving a cliffhanger except for the scene after the credits (a cringe, yes, but I don't care)
, on the whole, I am glad that the series is over, but I will also be glad if a channel with more adequate screenwriters)) that would be good)
or else I'm in favor of a spin-off, in which it would be possible to bring out the triad, and leave everyone else in a closed series)
But the implementation, of course, is lame. The first season, while getting acquainted with the characters and ideas, I somehow liked it more. And this series turned out to be utter nonsense, which spoils the impression even more. What kind of idiocy is there with revealing the identity of a gossip girl?! Kate didn't seem too smart, but to give up like that for money?! If they had at least played this disclosure as a help to Zoey, who is not to blame, then, as for me, it would have made more sense.
I've been watching the original for quite a while, so I don't really remember how "tough" gossip girl was, but the constant mention: "the new gossip girl is tougher" I got tired of at some point.... And the appearance of Georgina and her actions.. causes a facepalm..
I was happy for the Moon, which was on the cover. But her tantrum and breakup with friends were very strange. It was sad to see such a conclusion
The plot is very weak. Firstly, the very essence of the anonymous gossip girl turned out to be hopelessly lost: not only was a fanatical teacher made the main villain, but her identity was revealed from the very beginning, depriving her of the main intrigue.
Secondly, the characters are absolutely flat, as well as their problems, no one caused sympathy, feelings or feelings of affection (except for Max, maybe). The second season turned out to be a little better, but in the first it was unclear what was happening from episode to episode.
The finale is crumpled, the storylines are cut off, the very exposure turned out to be completely ridiculous.
The third season would definitely be superfluous, I hardly watched these two and was disappointed.
