90210 - Hot or Not?

So, we're more than a couple of episodes in to the remake of the 90's hit show, Beverly Hills:90210.
It seems that after 9 years of putting the original on the shelf, the 'zip-code' is apparently still too hot not to re-create.
I still can't decide if I like the show or not, I've watched all the episodes without fail, and it is essentially, a good American teen drama, but it just seems to be lacking a certain something.
The beautiful actors are present, (some barely there, with the ultra skinny waistlines), so too, are the engaging story lines, so far the show has covered drug addiction, alcohol abuse, illegitimate children.
In between all of the above and the glamorous parties and Jimmy Choos, I have to say the show seems a bit weak.
As a keen follower of many other shows such as Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill, and of the classic O.C, I have to say that I think that the show just seems to be wallowing in the saturation of the 'same old, same old' scenario.
The show ticks all the boxes but lacks that certain edge, that perhaps viewers in today's day and age need to keep them hanging on.
Well, I guess we'll have to see how the rest of the season pans out along the year...
