Gossip girl the escape thats needed

Now I came across Gossip Girl with no prior knowledge just that it sounded good, so I got a few episodes and started to watch. Now I get that the acting isn't top notch, the story lines aren't as believable as they could be but is that what the show is really about? what about the stunning clothes, the beautiful guys and girls that wear them, the awesome soundtrack that is up to date but not with well known bands and singers.

I hate to say it but I got sucked in literally on the first episode not just from how it looks and sounds but I got attached to the characters as well (espec. S) and have tuned in every week since. Although GG isn't yet up there where the OC was, in some ways I think its stronger (no M Barton) and whilst there is less wit than the OC it certainly is hotter in every way. So more episodes bring it on cause I for one want to know whats happening with Manhattans Elite
