Gossip Girl is officially done.... again.
Another HBO Max bites the dust! We will no longer hear the sweet tones of Kristen Bell saying XOXO Gossip Girl.
The second season, premiered on December 1, by January, the series was cancelled after two seasons. Admittedly the second season was a red hot mess.
The cast is straight out of a H&M catalogue Jordan Alexander, Whitney Peak, Tavi Gevinson, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zión Moreno, Savannah Lee Smith, and Grace Duah.
Some OG Gossip Girl stars returned here and there, however nothing could save the series from the dreaded axe!
Streaming on Binge (like most otherwise HBO Max series excluding Hacks) Gossip Girl had shorter ten episode run this time around. Also with no break in the middle made the series speed by week to week.
In comparison to The Sex Lives of College Girls (which was funny and sleek), Gossip Girl just felt like a lot of woke pop culture references all thrown together. The plot lines got messy, the thropple, the over the top parents. Let's face it, it all got a bit too much in its second run.
I was looking for some bandwidth on my TV dance card, so I can happily say I am not too sad to see the end of another HBO Max series now set to be buried on streaming service menu's.
You know when a show ends, unless you have it saved on your watchlist, it just vanishes from all the promoted title tiles. Oh well if you need some bitchy rich kids walking around New York telling each others (and their parents - who pay for their lifestyles) secrets, give season two a go.
One good thing, the soundtrack this season was on point!
I'll take you to the movies next time. Until then, XOXO
