I must agree that this show
Gossip Girlis totally over-hyped mainly because it was based on a best selling series ala the Twilight saga-turned- movie franchise. As best as the writers try to entice audiences with the convoluting plots and supposedly thickening suspenseful drama from week to week,
Gossip Girl has failed to keep the book's original storyline and the characters are not much what the book had depicted them to be.
It is because teen-aged girls and fashion savvy women make up the audience which makes
Gossip Girl dvd very popular. Its varying fashion pieces from episode to episode makes it worth watching and also thanks to its beautiful actors that compensate for a show that's almost devoid of quality. In the acting department, most of them rely on the script and their looks, showing not more than bland expressions throughout the season and sometimes looking as though they're reciting than really acting out a range of emotions.
I should be a little benign to the actress who plays Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) because I felt she was the only one who could brilliantly capture her character best and was able to deliver most of her lines memorably. So I beg the question, should you watch
Gossip Girl dvd set? Personally, yes if you are missing entertainment from your life and no, if you already have sufficient drama in yours.
