Gossip Girl loses a smidge of snark in season 2, but it's only a smidge, as the Upper East Siders ride out the senior-year traditions of college applications, prom, and graduation, but with Fashion Week and the Hamptons as glamorous backdrops. Serena (Blake Lively), wounded from her breakup/reunion/breakup with Dan (Penn Badgely), spends much of the season searching for her identity, which often steps on the toes of best frenemy Blair (Leighton Meester). Whether it be vying for a slot at Yale, or as queen bee of their prep school, these two have a complicated friendship perfectly summed up by another character: "You might be privileged, Blair, but you work for every single thing you achieve … Serena just glides through." Meanwhile, Nate (Chace Crawford) dallies with an older woman (Mädchen Amick) and his upper-crust family falls into financial ruin; Jenny attempts to break into fashion on her own assisted by an unhinged model (Willa Holland); and Dan finds himself drawn to the new, young English teacher (Laura Breckinridge). But the key story line throughout season 2 is the evolution of the romance between Blair and Chuck (Ed Westwick). The starts and stops aren't as frustrating are they are heartbreaking--particularly when the two admit they might just love the chase more than the reality of couplehood--but Meester and Westwick make a compelling portrayal of a couple so screwed up they may actually last. Other stories that don't involve Blair and/or Chuck are weak by comparison, particularly the season-ending Madoff story line, inspired by Anne Hathaway's real-life ex-boyfriend who made headlines when he was indicted for fraud. Moreover, characters and subplots fizzle out abruptly (Nate and Jenny's fleeting romance, the embezzlement finale). An '80s-set flashback episode, intended as a launch pad for a spinoff about Serena's mother, Lily, also fails to connect (the pilot was eventually rejected). But standout episodes include "The Age of Dissonance," set during a hilarious senior production of Edith Wharton's play, and "Seder Anything," centered around a Passover dinner hosted by Blair's new stepdad (Wallace Shawn, a welcome comic relief). Bonus features on the seven-disc set include Webisodes of Blair's scene-stealing Polish maid Dorota, unaired scenes, a gag reel, and a behind-the-scenes interview with the show's wardrobe supervisor, Eric Daman, who details his process for picking out the cast's designer wardrobe, which could be a supporting character on its own. --Ellen A.

Great quality, love this season. Most of all love Blair style, classy and her personality is so edgy. I love fashion so this is a great program to get ideas on style.
 Missing Disk August 29, 2010

In my set of Gossip Girl out of the 7 disks the second one was replaced with disc one. I had two disc ones and missed out on what felt like some major parts of the series. Skipping the second disc and going onto the third I was confused with where the story left off. That was the only problem with my set.
Lucky turn out I guess. July 3, 2010

I ordered the complete second season of "Gossip Girl" from this vendor. The product came in with bent sides. I know that this happened during it's travel to me through mail, however I had ordered the complete first season from Amazon directly and they had it packaged differently which better protected the product. I have read many poor reviews of this vendor and most of them include the poor packaging of their products, perhaps they should look into a different means of packaging. I also ordered the first and second season at the same time. I ordered the first season from Amazon directly and the second season from this vendor. I received Amazon's package in about five to seven days after I had ordered but I had to wait a rather long time to receive my package from this vendor. They were both supposed to ship the next business day and they both arrived by the same mailing service so I don't understand the delay. Luckily, I had received the first season first and so I was able to enjoy that season while I waited for my second package. It was a very smooth transaction and I am happy with my purchase over all but had I not ordered the first season also, I can imagine that this review would have a livid tone.
