Gilmore girls is my all-time favorite show. Quirky, smart, and expertly cast, the original series left us wanting for nothing. This is why I was so hoping that the revival would carry on the original spirit of this modern classic. I was wrong. I didn't want to get my hopes up, because revivals are hardly ever as good as the original, so I came in expecting very little, but at least hoping that it would keep up the original spark of the show. Instead, we got 6 hours of disjointed banter, none of which succeeded in matching the original level of cleverness. Many of the characters, such as Jason, Dean, and Doyle, seemed to have been shoehorned into the script just to check a box. Their interaction with the main characters seemed forced and very scripted, not at all in keeping with the Gilmore banter we have all come to know and love. It seemed as though the writers were so set on having the story come full circle that they forgot that this show is less about that and more about the comedy. We watch Gilmore girls, partly to watch a refreshing, albeit unnatural, mother daughter relationship, but more than that, we watch it to laugh. And the writers seemed to have forgotten that that was what we loved most. More than anything, I was hoping for a better ending to the show than I got in season 7 of the original. I'm not sure I got it. I'm not really sure what I got. All I can say is that I'm left scratching my head. It wasn't good, but it wasn't really bad either. The bottom line is it wasn't Gilmore girls.

Why was there so much singing? Why was Rory kind of a bad person? Why couldn't Luke and Loralai have figured it out by now? Why wasn't this show true to the original series at all? These were all the thoughts that ran through my head while watching this show

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.

I don't know why everyone is complaining so much. This was a GREAT revival and aside from a few scenes that I really could have gone without sitting through, I am super pleased with what they did. I decided long ago, after spending way too many months hating the ending of Buffy, to just enjoy what my favorite writers decide to do with THEIR characters. I'm not saying you have to love it, but when you spend years investing in your favorite towns, characters, and stories, what is the point of being angry with how it ends? Calm down people...Were there dumb scenes? Yes, Were some of the plot lines senseless? Yes. Did a few of the scenes feel forced? Yes. But overall they captured the essence of the characters and their lives in Stars Hollow and I will continue loving GG and hoping for another season!

And six hours later I smiled again. Of course, I'm a mega fan of the series. I looked at it when I was a teenager, I saw it again last summer when I got the news of the sequel. And I must say that I am the perfect audience for this type of series. I love comedy, romance, family, drama and girly type of shows, and most importantly, I like series that last. I had no expectations except for a few characters I was hoping to see again. It worked for me, I laughed, I cried and I enjoyed every second. It was like putting in old slippers, everything was the same, just a little older! The only negative thing was that it was only 6 hours ... I loved meeting my Gilmore Girls again, Amy and her husband stayed true to the original series. It was, for me, a perfect continuity and I was delighted with each of the four episodes.

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.

Gilmore Girls will always have a special place in my heart. It was the show that got me through high school with characters as refreshing and relatable as Lorelai and Rory. The story arcs were captivating and Stars Hollow becomes a distant place you hold dear. If you can't get enough of the Gilmore Girls, the revival is all you could hope for and more.

It's as endearing as when Gilmore Girls began, and although the show changed stylistically, it represents the modern age well and brings the characters back to life with their original personalities and characteristics. Cameos from Parenthood actors and references to other relevant Netflix shows were a great touch, making the revival as lovable as the original show! The revival does a spectacular job of giving previous story lines closures that just feel right, and bringing possibilities to light for future episodes.

This show is an absolute must watch if you have ever known and loved the Gilmore Girls. This can't be the end! I have very high hopes for this revival and it's continuation. Waiting for more!

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!

One of the great television tragedies of our age was the final season of Gilmore Girls, in which creator/showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino was ditched and the show ran off the rails. Everything in that last, Amy- less season was wrong; it made me think of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, when the little boy insists that the woman who looks and speaks like his mom just isn't her.

I gave up a few episodes in, heartbroken that the GG story arc had gone off a cliff. To this day I have no idea how life turned out for those Gilmore Snatchers.

From the beginning, A Year in the Life feels like the true Gilmore Girls. The characters speak and act as they're supposed to. At the same time, the first episode is not *great* Gilmore Girls. It's just nice to see them again.

The second episode is better, but it's not until the third episode that the mini-series truly becomes the show I always loved. That episode is wildly funny, particularly a brilliantly terrible musical that I loved from beginning to end (I disagree with those who feel it should have been shortened).

Like the original, AYITL is very funny and very touching, and I care about its characters, who are the same lovable but deeply flawed (yes, Rory was always deeply flawed, so quit acting like her not being a saint is a betrayal of the series) people I remember. And Emily's journey as she deals with the changes in her life is glorious.

Were there flaws and oddities? Sure. I found Rory's encounter with the rich kids a silly overreach and some characters seem to be there just because they were in the original rather than because they added something to the plot.

So yeah, I could pick at the loose threads of this mini-series, but I won't, in the same way I never picked at the loose threads of the original series. It was Sherman-Palladino's vision, and as far as I'm concerned, whatever she does with those characters is the right thing to do with them. I love them all, and I am thrilled to have a chance to reenter their lives. Here's hoping they return yet again.

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.

Man oh man....I am struggling for words to describe how I feel about the Gilmore girls. I was late to pick up the series on Netflix a few months ago and it took me about as much time to watch all 7 seasons through and through. I just managed to finish the original episodes 2 days before this revival hit.

Honestly, I can't thank Netflix enough for renewing this show. Even if it is short-lived it is totally worth it and for me, it managed to sweeten this bitter taste of Luke and Lorelai not ending up together in the original series. Not just that, but this picks up exactly and completely where they had left off and nails it. There is just nothing there that feels off or detached from the original episodes.

I sincerely hope we will get a lot of new seasons and episodes. I really wish this show would run forever. Make it as long as Guiding light or so, fine with me.

P. S. Since I posted this review I was surprised to see the amount of negativity the show has been receiving. So all in all, even though it may not be as charming as the original, i beg of you to give it a chance.

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.
