Netflix had a truly savage description of Gossip Girl up on the series’ page, and it has fans’ seal of approval.
One description of the young adult drama reads, “Rich, unreasonably attractive private school students do horrible, scandalous things to each other. Repeatedly.”

“Teenage heroine, born rich and white and beautiful, recognizes her privilege and decides to not worry about the petty conflicts between her and her equally privileged friends. Zero drama ensues.” #GossipGirl pic.twitter.com/oJ5wdctGOH

Eventually the streaming serivce adjusted the description to read, “A group of hyperprivileged Manhattan private-school kids seem to get away with everything. Except an anonymous blogger is watching their every move.”
Fans quickly pointed out the change, and some compelled the streaming giant to bring back the original, with one UK resident that British version of Netflix did not have the same savage description.

Gossip Girl aired on The CW for six seasons (from 2007-2012), and starred Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Taylor Momsen, Ed Westwick, Kelly Rutherford, Matthew Settle and Jessica Szohr.
Actress Kristen Bell voiced Gossip Girl, the mysterious blogger/narrator of the series, who turned out to be a very unsuspecting character from the main cast in the finale.
