It’s been some time since the reboot of one of my favourite shows came out and I’ve seen and heard some contrasting opinions of it. With a rotten tomato rating of 64% it’s safe to say that this show has its fair share of fans… but also those who dislike it. 

The majority of critics suggest that the quality of acting is poor and the storylines are absurd. The actors chosen would not be my first pick. Although I don’t know the behind-the-scenes of the production, I feel like the acting was lacklustre aside from the actors for Max Wolfe (Messy Max) and Audrey Hope. In my opinion, I feel like this was mostly the case with the main character: Julian Calloway. This was quite upsetting to me because I felt that the show had potential and maybe with better actors, the writing may have been brought to life better than it was.

The main fault that I believe the show has is the overly Gen Z and progressive take the show. Yes, inclusivity is great but the allure of escapism is lost with the whole realistic take of the reboot. Furthermore, realistically, the old-money legacy children were historically from white families. Depending on the writers’ and directors' original ideas, this is slightly unrealistic. The original gossip girl fascinated me with the old money aesthetic, the Upper East Side scandals and the not-so-classy sides of the 1%. With a new direction for the reboot, it’ll come out differently. This is completely subjective but for me, I feel like I prefer the legacy rich, scandalous and quiet side of gossip girl.

Is that what the previous watchers of the original wanted? Maybe. Maybe not. But it wasn’t what I was expecting or enjoyed. 

However, It would be unfair to only break down the show without praising it a little. Albeit slightly cringe-worthy, the show is undeniably watchable, like a car crash, you cannot look away. The absolute shock and scandal of some of the episodes are captivating. The nuances of being an influencer are explored. Sometimes weakly but nonetheless it’s quite interesting. 

Do I hate it? Not at all. Would I recommend it? For me, it’ll always remain as a background show to watch from time to time. 

You know you love me. 

xoxo, gossip girl.

So Sabrina Carpenter came out with the Short'n'Sweet album on the 23rd of August and I have to say I'm obsessed lol.

I think her lyricism is great and I love the double meanings in each of her songs. Espresso was released as a single earlier in the year and it hit the world by storm. The song of the summer was light, easy to listen to and vocally phenomenal. Her adlibs are so good and I love her vocal tone. Please Please Please is another song released earlier than the full album and also was well received. Although I like the song, I wouldn't say it's my favourite. Honestly. I'm not really sure why, I just think other songs resonate with me more. For instance...

TASTE.

Taste was a masterpiece and I think it's so well written and sung. Just overall, the album was amazing and as someone who's been a fan of Sabrina for a long time, I'm really happy with how her music has progressed.

My top 5 of this album:

Bed chem

Taste

Juno

Lie to girls

Slim Pickins
