I saw this series when I was about twenty years old. At the time, it didn't catch my attention, but I was kind of pushed by a girlfriend I had at the time, who really liked this series.

At the time, it didn't catch my attention, but I was kind of pushed by a girlfriend I had at the time, who really liked this series. To be honest, even today it is not a series that catches my eye. It has too futile to do so: the life, the loves and the scandals of rich New York youth. Cross loves, petty hatreds fueled by absurdly futile matters, stylish clothes and luxurious surroundings... this series is not to be taken seriously.

The characters are underdeveloped, as if they were made of cardboard. The script essentially focuses on superfluous issues, which are so blistered that they seem like existential dramas, much to the taste of a well-heeled youth who has never struggled for anything in this life. Those kind of young people with money but no culture, and who lack the cradle, that is, a family where to receive the education and culture that money cannot yet afford. For the show's audience, the expensive, rattling dresses, limousines and high-rise coverages are enough. This is the portrait of the successful American elite.

The cast is mostly made up of young actors, and is led by Blake Livelly, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick. Despite the youth and the futility of the series itself, I think the cast was up to it and we have promising actors here, who can be used in the future on more serious and deep roles.

Call me an elitist, but I haven't seen an elite in this series. For me, there is no money to replace culture, the cradle of a traditional family, even without great wealth. So this series is not much to my liking. It is geared toward a value system I don't share. Nevertheless, I recognize in this series the good work of the actors and production, although I find the series as a whole extremely futile.… Expand
