Watch Gossip Girl with Mumsnet and win an iPad mini

You may remember we approached you last month to come up with the name for a new Mumsnet TV club - and after much vigorous discussion, you came up with the frankly brilliant 'Watch with Mumsnet'.

Well, the day has dawned: we're delighted to announce that, in association with Netflix, "Watch with Mumsnet" is now officially in existence.

The way it'll work is that we'll watch a TV series together over the course of a few weeks, and have a thread running for the duration, on which you can discuss the plots, characters, twists and scandals with other goggle-eyed Mumsnetters. On top of this, Netflix are offering some amazing prizes if you join the discussion* ? this month you can win an iPad mini. Yes, really. You're welcome Grin.

The plan is that "Watch with Mumsnet" will introduce us all to some exclusive new shows this winter. The Christmas party season is yet to begin, after all, and it's too cold to go out anyway, so why not binge on some great telly on Netflix to get you through?

To kick off, we'll be watching Gossip Girl season 6, which is available to watch on Netflix now (along with seasons 1-5). So whether you're new to the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite or you only have season 6 to catch up on, please do watch and get involved.

So tell us, who do you think Gossip Girl is? And, more importantly, who is inviting all these Manhattan adolescents to such exclusive parties? These questions are just suggestions - feel free to discuss any aspect of GG or tell us what you like/dislike.

Remember, you can watch every episode of Gossip girl here through Netflix. Happy watching!

@Helpyourself

Blush I'm embarrassed to be so snippy, but really! There are loads of recent tv series, many of which I've watched, many of which I can see are too long/ dry controversial (The Wire, Big Love, Breaking Bad, Borgen) but in case MN are still thinking about future watch together' series what about Orange is the New Black or Brotherhood? Both lighter but not quite as crap and irrelevant frothy as GG.

You'll be pleased to hear that next Watch With Mumsnet is indeed Orange Is the New Black, which is launching in a few weeks. We're hoping there'll be something for everyone Smile

Thanks to everyone who has posted already on the thread. For those who are feeling a bit Confused by how Watch with Mumsnet works, we wanted to address a few of the Qs that have been asked and hope to steer you in the right direction (and of course closer to that iPad mini):

First of all please join the discussion on this thread (and it's great to see many already have done this). There will be no other thread starting until the launch of the next box set discussion. The idea is that you watch one or more episodes of GG and tell us what you think or join in the discussion about the series with other mumsnetters on this thread. If you're already a fan, feel free to post up your thoughts on what you've already viewed. There's no right on wrong answer to be entered into the prize draw, we just want you to join in the discussion. Everyone who joins in will be entered into the draw to win the iPad mini and a winner will be chosen at random (as long as the posts are worthy of entry - no one liners please Wink) Although it's tricky, ideally try and avoid too many spoilers in your posts.
