Give me a fandom and I'll give you, either in the comments or in a separate post, five unpopular opinions for that particular fandom.

Gossip Girl

1. I really liked Jenny (or little J *g* ) in the first season, and how the show portrayed her scrambling for popularity

2. Erm Dan did get a little too judgy in season 2 after him and Serena had broken up, but I thought that he was really dorky and charming in the first season, I don't get why he was immediately written off by fandom as being a terrible protagonist. Yeah he had a couple of terrible moments (walking out on Serena over her past sleeping with Nate for one!), but overall I felt like the show did a good job of portraying his PoV, and Penn carried off Dan's awkward rambles well, but fandom just seemed deadset against him from the beginning

3. Serena and Carter should have ended up together, they made for such a hot couple!

4. Blair was my fav, but I also liked Serena, whereas it seemed like fandom started really pitting them against one another later on and writing Serena off :(

5. Blair's relationship with Dorota was only touching in the first season, the power unbalance made their dynamic too creepy when the show kept trying to turn them into a double act of some sort later on, at the same time as Blair making bets with Chuck where he would get Dorota if she lost. You don't actually own her, Blair, she just works for you!
