> Case in point: this week’s episode of Gossip Girl, which joins a long list of HBO series fascinated with family-on-family fucking with its plotline about a sister and brother going at it at a New York hotel. It’s certainly juicy. It’s definitely gross. And, let’s face it, it is a bizarre obsession. How is this still so prevalent?...

There you've it, HBO made a big mistake by not making the incest plot "meme-worthy"

Also, the original Gossip Girl series on the CW had at least one incest plot line that I can remember. It’s not breaking new ground for that show to begin with

I only remember pseudo incest in the original. Like Dan and Serena had a shared half sibling.

There’s that, but i was actually thinking of the older woman that Nate is involved with during the Hampton’ arc at the beginning of season 2. They discover she’s been sleeping with her step-son
