    Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
    Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
    Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
    Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
    jlshirriff Anticipated excitement with the thought of a revival as drawn in to this family loving the family dynamics and wittiness of the dialogue. These episodes were not as stimulating but I was engaged and loved being drawn into the atmosphere of Star hollows and the Gilmore girls. I would love to see where the story would go following Rory and her pregnancy - how will Lorlai cope with being a grandmother? I want more!! Our family unit enjoyed this family show!
    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.
    Tayla I absolutely love Gilmore Girls and figured that that would be able to have a real solid ending after rushing once the original show was canceled but the audience didn't get that. It's disjointed. And the creators obviously didn't listen to what the audience wanted. We don't find out who Rory ends up with even though she's pregnant? Which kinda sucks because I was Team Jess. You don't physically see Luke and Lorelai get married. Or even Rory become successful. The creators were given a second chance at finishing this series the way it should have finished but they failed. Unfortunately I would never rewatch this series as both times it's all seemed too rushed, disjointed and not carefully thought out.
    snawx Another wonderful Gilmore Girls show added to the gem. This follow-up gave us loyal fans truly what we wanted! Many continuities just don't have the "right" storyline (in our eyes), but this one was actually good.The filming is incredible, and so is ofcourse the acting. Kudos to Bledel and Graham. What an amazing character development Rory has been through. The comedy and family-vibes were spot on too!What I found the best aspect of all, was the ending. An ending us watchers could fill in ourselves, wondering what will happen. Not a sad one, but a hopeful one, a peaceful future. Knowing that the duo will get everything together :-)As for the length, I found it very fitting. Longer would be a drag, shorter would be "too" short. The fact that they've categorised the episodes in seasons (the title says it: "A Year in the Life") gives me somewhat more closure and I see more structure in the show itself.
