ciufumic Yep, the only reason I watch this booooring revival, because I wanted to see Jess one last time and what he's become. Let me tel you, he did not disappoint, love his character, the only character whose evolution worth following!

kelleyburcroff I am a huge Gilmore Girls fan. I wanted to like this so badly! A lot of scenes seemed so forced. From the lines, to hair and makeup, it just felt like they were trying so hard and it lacked the effortless charm that Gilmore Girls had. Rory's whole storyline didn't work for me. Her Year in the Life character and Gilmore Girls character were not the same person. THE MUSICAL.... what were they thinking?! Such a waste of time :( The farewell to Richard was beautiful though. It was heart breaking but necessary.The amount of characters they had make an appearance was great though! Hardly anyone was left out.

Aasta Kyvik I only discovered Gilmore Girls recently, so it was all very fresh in my memory when I started on this mini-series. I liked it, but it didn't feel as authentic as the original series. Some of the monologues fell pretty flat as if they were talking to no one, which bothered me because I fell out and suddenly was very aware that it was acting. Luke's monologue in the end of episode is the only one that really pulled a punch, it was pure gold.I have red several reviews on this title and it seems like people's main concern is how Rory turned out. I think it was rather realistic actually. She's used to get what she wants and works hard for it, but the real world wasn't as she hoped and harder than she thought. It's therefore pretty realistic that she seems less mature because she feels let down and doesn't know how to get back on the saddle again. I also understand her affair with Logan because he takes her back to a time where her life was more like she wanted to. He reminds her of how she had opportunities and of her young success.The Paul thing on the other hand was so out of place and put in just for a laugh when it in reality was nothing but sad, and the Wookiee thing felt nothing but pointless.Lorelai felt out of place though. I understand she was grieving but even her more cheerful self didn't seem like the old Lorelai. It was also very disappointing how she didn't seem to mind that her daughter was cheating, the old Lorelai have shown what she felt. All in all I didn't seem to find the same mother and daughter feel, it felt almost staged some times.Emily was fantastic. Her character was the one that was most true to her self while also showing sign of growing. She has always been one of my favorite characters and she did not disappoint! It was very sad with with the death of Richard (also a favorite of mine), both the death of the actor and the character, but how Emily turned out made it turn from pointless to meaningful.The summer episode was my least favorite. The pool scene with body shaming was so tacky and disappointing, and the musical felt unnecessary. The musical scene could've been so much better with an appearance of Kirk as a stagehand or something similar. An appearance of Kirk in general in this episode would've made a huge different, but he was nowhere to be seen and missed.I liked the open ending though, the pregnancy will force Rory to pull herself back together, and hopefully will her and Jesse's paths cross again. All in all, I would've watched it again.

grahame_jenkins I can't really usefully add much to what has already been said in these (excellent) reviews, other than to fully endorse the broad thrust of the comments being made. I felt that the end to the original series was one of the best I have seen (for a long-running 'much beloved' series).......striking a balance between an over the top sugary sweet 'and they all lived happily ever after' and an equally over the top 'oh my god the car is going over a cliff' tragic ending - Gilmore Girls is a nice series for nice people and you can't realistically pen a 'black' ending. Just enough intrigue, just enough hint at things being good - great balance. In the mini- series it felt to me almost as if this was political comment on how silver spoon prep school/ivy league kids end up coming to nothing (but the thirty-somethings were comically over the top even for that premise!) except that Paris seemed to be thriving in a role totally unsuited for her, which sort of harpoons that argument and serves to point to the overall confused state of affairs (cue for a lengthy musical number?!!!) we find in this 'wrapping-up'. All in all I wish I hadn't watched it.......I was happy and content at the end of the original series and now I am losing sleep worrying about Rory's decline (yes I know she isn't real!) because - despite all the envious comments about her being entitled - she was a lovely girl and someone who I would be proud to have as my daughter, to have her living out of boxes with no actual job showed a callous disregard for her as a 'person' and the loyal viewers who had devoted such a large chunk of their recreation time to following 'the girls'.
