All show has flaws, some more than others. I think the biggest flaw with Gossip Girl is its pilot, which could have ruined Chuck's potential to be the show's anti-hero before he even had a chance. Thankfully Rapey McRaperape was retconned away.

People will mock me when I say this, but Gossip Girl really reminds me of "Brideshead Revisited" or "The Great Gatsby." It has a critical eye for the gossip and society it presents to its audience, but on the other hand, it also doesn't naively argue that the Dan (freaking) Humphreys of the world are morally superior saviors for the wicked shallowness of the UES. Despite how much as Humphrey would like to think so.

And I have to admit, I love all the characters in the show. Even Dan (freaking) Humphrey, who I can barely understand half the time because he's speaking so fast. Which I guess is necessary when you are compelled to call your girlfriend a whore 90 times a minute. I feel that even when I hate a character, they also work in the narrative, and I can't really paint any character as truly morally superior to the other. And I kinda think Little J is correct right now, and Rufus was a bit of a bastard to try to get her fired when she was making a beginning on her career. According to the show, she is talented, and while it was wrong for her to try to drop out of high school, the school where she was before just didn't work for her.

But that's what makes the show so great. There's nuance, and the show usually doesn't compel us to think as one character as the Good Guy and one as the Bad Guy. I think the show wants us to love Blair, Chuck, Serena, Dan, Nate, and Little J even when they're at each other's throats! XD
