The show is inspired by the life and career of former Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Joanna Coles and explores many of the challenges young women face as they attempt to carve out careers, whether it's in journalism, social media, or fashion, but it also doesn't shy away from difficult topics or relationship drama.
However, the best part of the series has to be the strong friendships between the trio -- and, of course, Scarlet 's fashion closet, which houses any number of incredible outfits and is where the friends spend a great deal of time dealing with the problems life has thrown their way. Like Gossip Girl , this South African teen drama is also set at a prep school and follows a group of scheming teens.
At the center of the narrative lies a complex mystery that propels much of the action forward, though it doesn't have anything to do with an anonymous person revealing the secrets of wealthy teens. The series stars Ama Qamata as Puleng Khumalo, a year-old who transfers to the elite academy because she believes a student there may actually be her long-lost sister. If Dan's relationship with Serena or Blair!
But there's also so, so much more to the show. Set on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the teen series follows the Pogues, a group of teens who live and work on the island, as they look for the long lost treasure of an ancient shipwreck after a hurricane wipes out power. Along the way, they find themselves in increasingly dangerous waters, with a growing list of enemies, and the teens often make decisions without giving much thought to the consequences of their actions.
But that's also why Outer Banks feels so authentic; teens are selfish and impulsive by nature, and they're driven by hormones. We can't exactly call this a good show, but it's addictive as hell.
One Tree Hill is another show whose success paved the way for Gossip Girl. Running for nine seasons across The WB and The CW, the show starts out as a teen soap with much of the same relationship and family drama that made Gossip Girl so engrossing.
When they come across a mortal girl they fell for back in the 18th century, things spiral out of control. When these many supernatural creatures are up against each other, you expect everything to be on the stake, and it kind of is. The only problem with The Vampire Diaries is, there is too much to absorb sometimes.
There is so much going on that it can pretty easily overwhelm you. It feels natural and wonderfully done overall. And how can you not love the cast? The plot, while a tad cheesy, stays intriguing throughout the show, dealing with relationship issues, marriage, affairs, drugs etc.
Casting is beautifully done, too. The good thing is, they give adult actors as much time on air as teenagers. When four friends find out that heir recently-deceased friend is sending them mysterious text messages, threatening to reveal their deepest and darkest secret to everyone, they band together to stop her. Why is she texting them? What secrets are about to unravel? You just need to give it some time to grow on you. You might not feel any connection to the characters in the beginning.
As soon as you begin to know the background of every character, you get invested in the whole thing. The plot revolves around a Kansas family, who move to Beverly Hills. It ruins the fun for those who might have given it a shot otherwise. It still is pretty decent.
I am not a big fan of shows on ABC Family. Make It or Break It belongs to that rare breed. The engaging, coherent plot with some well-thought-out performances form the backbone of the success of this acclaimed series. The seven seasons of the TV series has characters split into three generations with an ensemble of actors portraying their roles for various generations wherever they fit in.
