Well, last night’s second episode of GG was a bit better. But just “a bit.”

Improvements: pace of the show was a bit faster, better shots of the fashion, Blair’s character got some depth

Needs work: the parents (They keep waffling between real characters and caricatures. Pick one and stick to it.), shooting locations (OK, we have seen enough of the Palace hotel. Why no school shots?), the Brooklyn-ites (The entire Humphrey family is WAY too balanced - no way two adolescent siblings would want a garage door between their rooms).

Creepiest plot choice: It’s a tie between a brother and sister deciding that a near-rape of the 14 year-old sister does not warrant telling a parent AND seeing two hotel concierge staffers basically prostituted to a 17 year-old (see below).

Best outfit: Either the cropped jacket get-up worn by Mrs. Van Der Woodsen at the brunch OR Blair’s eyelet dress with lace stockings.

My interest in this show is waning.
