Granted I watched this series while in high school so it was a fun break from the reality of high school; which isn't anywhere near as exciting as this show that focuses on upper east side wealthy teens who tackle life in high school. A drama filled and teen focused show is the best. I found it tiresome though with the character Dan Humphrey constantly complaining about the economic difference between his rich friends and himself. If you are a lover of the chick teen shows then add to your watchlist.
