I have heard a lot about this TV show. I even watched a part of an episode,when I was once browsing the TV programs. It didn't catch my attention. It left me with the opinion "just another stupid series about rich teens and their fucking problems".
Finally I decided to watch just the first few episodes,to convince myself that this show really sucks. But there was still a little hope in me that it's going to be good. (I was stimulated to watch it by the fact that I was with the same feelings about Lost,which turned out to be on my Top 10 List of Greatest TV Series :D)
However. I watched the first episodes and they convinced me about my negative opinion. Too classy,snobbish and not my style. But then I continued to watch it. And I gradually started to like it. There were some really interesting characters. In some of them I even saw something from my personality too. Like Jenny who would give anything to fit in in the new crowd,and then she's disappointed. I really liked the character of Dan too. Funny,outgoing,interesting... I saw the perfect boy in him.
So that's it. I just finished the 1st season and I'll continue watching it.
I just wanted to say that you shouldn't judge the book by its cover. And not to have any prejudice about anything. Cause it often turns out that you were wrong in the beginning. And so was I wrong about these two amazing shows-Gossip Girl and Lost.
-the non-judge ;D
