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.

Very forced, very ridiculous. Rory a whiner with no of the ambition she had throughout the series. She was getting there through the end of the original series and I was hopeful that with the original producers coming back it would be better but not the case. Please no second part....let it go.

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.

Let behind the fantasy world of Stars Hollow from 2000 and enter this crude, 2016 self-explained revival whose existence most Gilmore Girls fans will try to deny. No more quick, witted Lorelai-Luke dialogues but sour complaints, no more graceful yet ambitious Rory but "my life is a mess" failed in life Rory. All of the other characters are now dimmed characters, with the outstanding exception of Paris and her acid tongue who didn't even appear in the last part. And that musical play, c'mon, give me break. But I'm here to talk about Rory Gilmore. It's sad to watch a disheartened Rory ranting about her miserable life, sleeping with an engaged man, cheating on her boyfriend, rejecting a job in Chilton, being fired by her lunatic but only client and being dropped by an editor after a disastrous interview, all because of something very plain to see: Rory never matured emotionally all the way to her 32th birthday. Nobody told her New York is not Stars Hollow. Nobody told her the world outside is not Hartford. The real world simply did its job: to eat her up, spit the bones and ask for the next one. Look, by contrast, to Paris: being Paris, she succeeded. The final "I'm pregnant" scene is not actually the end, is the prelude to what Rory will become if her book doesn't work: in three or four years, this new single mother will have to take the lectureship in Chilton (if there's still a vacancy) or doing a 9 to 5 in a workstation or anything, with Lorelai helping with the kid while keeping an eye in her own marriage, and no more offers, no more expectancies, no nothing waiting for the arrival of the fourth decade. But let's be optimistic for a minute: maybe the book works and who knows, she'll be signing autographs and somebody turns it into a TV series called "Gilmore Girls". Sorry, but in real life as this revival tried to picture most of the time, it won't happen. Alexis Bledel herself spoke about her dissapointment by Rory's final fate. "It was a hard thing to me to digest", she said. I'm sure is harder to anyone else. Especially the hardcore fans.

To be honest i didn't like this at all. i LOVE gilmore girls, but this didn't even feel like gilmore girls. i regret watching it. it was very boring and ruined a lot of characters for me. i recommend not watching this. i'm honestly surprised it has such a high rating.
