Reviews

Mike McDaniel
Houston Chronicle
The writing, lead by show creator Josh Schwartz, is as sharp and funny as ever, hallmarks for a serial that flirts with melodrama on a weekly basis.

What's good: The acting, the actors. What's bad: The lack of real tension that was there last season. What's there: The same characters and the same storyline. What's not: Anything really new to get excited about.
