Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

The overrated Palladinos should have left well enough alone. This overlong (should've been two, not four, episodes) revisits Stars Hollow Connecticut 10 years or so later. Most of the characters are the same. Rory is the most disappointing. She's still floundering career wise, with questionable moral center. She's dragging this guy around for two years who she has no interest in, while being intimate with a man engaged to be married. (A repeat of the Dean sexcapade of years earlier). Lorelei can be proud and disgusted with her at the same time. Other predictable plot devices are thrown in. Emily reigns supreme, as always. Kelly Bishop is an amazing actress. She was the best this series had to offer. It's nice to see many of the old faces, some briefly, but overall, it could and should've been a whole lot better. How Taylor and Kirk survived without being 'eliminated' is amazing. Thankfully no sign of April Nardini.👏. Even the cliffhanger was boring. Time for the Palladinos to close this saga down for good.

I can't speak for everyone, but I think a fair amount of GG fans would agree with me: what we wanted in a reunion series was more of the first 5 seasons, not more of the last 2. It's been 10 years and somehow everyone is only just now finding themselves? Luke and Lorelai have NEVER talked about whether to have kids and only now want to get married? Rory is ambling around befuddled about who to sleep with and where to live? Actually bring some closure to the story and give fans some satisfaction in watching their favorite characters find fulfillment and happiness. What's the point of doing a reunion series if they're all just as aimless as they were in season 7 and the show ends on some open-ended cliffhanger that leaves us all throwing our hands up all over again. The writing and acting tries too hard and falls very flat. You don't gain anything from this series and in fact lose a lot of the magic and sense of hope you were left with in 2007.

I was super excited to see this mini series, especially when there was so much hype about it. The only real great part about this mini series is being able to see all of the cast ten years later and what they're doing with their lives. Hence the 6/10 rating. But overall, there are some really weird scenes that are abnormal for the original show. Some scenes just seem out of place and feel overall awkward. And I feel like the original show ended off on a good note, allowing the audience to decide what happens next. This follow up just put a damper on my hopes for the characters. I wish they left the original alone.

I don't get why the rating is so high the miniseries just ruined the series : no Lorelai funny jokes, Rory being irritating as usual and everyone has small parts.

The episode are so long and there are unnecessary filler and the ending why did it leave in a cliffhanger

Stop with the musicals!!!!! Ugh!! And give Rory a back bone and a brain!!

Would love to see how it plays out after the ending of this one.
