Serena's Short Career in Hollywood | Gossip Girl 

Fr it’s like no one wants to see her succeed bc they think she already succeeds too much which is partially true since she’s a rich socialite, but even so it’s sad how so many people were against her and complained about every little thing she did or didn’t do like girl let this woman live Serena doesn’t owe you shit 💀😭

I agree. It’s frustrating to see her criticized when she achieves something. But after I read the books, I got a better understanding of why. In the books, opportunities fell into Serena’s lap. And a lot of the time, they were opportunities Blair worked hard to obtain. And despite gaining these opportunities, Serena never wanted them. Throughout the entire series, she didn’t know what she wanted out of life. I think the show tries to pull from book Serena in this aspect, but they didn’t do it right. They gave tv Serena motivation and a desire to succeed. That’s why it comes off as frustrating.

@@LifetoLive1 yeah that makes more sense. But in the show we also see that Serena doesn't know what she wants. That's why she takes a gap year and looks for her dad. But the few times she does try to "work" like most people do when they're lost: (I mean very few people just sit around forever) people bring her down and say "work doesn't matter, she has a billion opportunities", or "she doesn't deserve it" or "you're taking my spotlight" etc. I mean from what I gather, it seems like everyone wants her to smile and do nothing forever and marry a rich man?? But even when she runs away season 6 to do that everyone trolls her. Of course Serena will always get an opportunity she doesn't deserve because that's who she is. She can't apply for a job and say "don't consider me for my beauty and last name". Even Trip took advantage of her. Overall the way everyone clowns Serena in the show reminds me of when they say Dan is an "outsider" even though he's more successful than all of them by the end (minus parent's money obviously)

they were so jealous at how good she naturally was at doing things

I think it is especially sad because overall by the end of the show, Serena never gets to grow or mature; when as others said she could easily be successful.

I agree. I'd love to see her in fashion publishing for example, and maybe she and Blair would have little rivalries there too

The woman preferred Serena over the other one because she read one book. Hardly this was gonna be reality.

How would he know Serena tho ? Does he read gossip girl ?

There are characters that are way worse than Serena. Such as Blair chuck, Bart

@@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi I have to disagree on Blair Blair is very rude but eventually she came around and realized the bullying she did caught up to her and actually changed her intentions chuck I also disagree on but Bart I agree Bart is worse then Serena. Also Serena is very nice but she’s always going through the constant same issues with relationship problems and getting mostly everything she wants and that caused other people to have destructive behavior because they can’t stand how she’s she never changes herself and is a pick me people pleaser

@@changinglocale9114 and how is it Serena’s fault she gets everything she wants ? Things came easier for her because unlike Blair she isn’t an entitled spoiled brat with a rotten attitude. If Blair was actually a decent person things would have been easier for her it’s not Serena’s fault Blair is an unbearable awful rotten snob. Believe it or not but acting like an unlikeable bratty Karen like Blair did throughout the entire show will not get you far in life

Dynasty was created by the same producers as gossip girl
