What Are the Critics Saying about Gossip?

Gossip has an official critics rating of 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. The series also has a user score of 6.4/10 on IMDB. Even as the series sets up the premise of fake news as we know it today, there is some debate among viewers about the relevance of past gossip in today’s world.

Brian Lowry from CNN says, “Gossip is about a lot more than just juicy tidbits and the columnists that peddle them, presenting a multifaceted look at gossip’s role in the newspaper/media ecosystem and at Rupert Murdoch’s enterprises in particular.”

Variety’s Daniel D’Addario writes, “Just as Adams’ column now only makes sense to her longtime readers, this series is unlikely to convince the general public that the stories it tells deserved a shelf life much longer than that of a daily newspaper.”
