This show has oddly grown on me. I have zero idea why I started watching, I think it was for Kristen Bell's voiceover (I know, I know, I need help...) but now I...kinda like it.
Like you, SO very far from what I normally watch. Even when it comes to normal people shows, I can't stand rich kids, doing rich kids stuff. Literally no association I can latch onto. One of the saving graces is how much Serena doesn't really want to be part of that world, but doesn't really have a choice in the matter.
The strength of the cast, and variety of characters, and just how rich (not monetarily, but character-wise) they are have definitely kept me around.
And yes, Jenny is going to be so very much the Dawn of this show for you, I think.
I hate that I'll probably comment more on these than I do for the scifi shows you've posted about. ;)
