Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nick Patch Toronto Star Gilmore Girls is always at its most winsome in winter, so it was fitting that the show ended its hibernation with shots of our beloved Stars Hollow in snow-globe mode.

May 16, 2019 Full Review Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Neal Justin Seattle Times Even those who have never cracked open a People magazine will appreciate the warmth and wit between its two plucky heroines.

sharpshiell What's up the new stars Hollow Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review sheila l I give this series a D- The characters are not on point.Rory apparently has suffered brain damage because she can't remember she has a boyfriend or his name . It is a shadow of the original series Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/04/23 Full Review Al R They didn't hit the tone of the original series at all. All character development that happend in seven seasons was set back to zero, everybody seemed hollow, the dialogue was terrible and the musical numbers were even worse and didn't fit. If you're a fan of the original, don't watch a year in a life. That was just Netflix ruining a beloved franchise. Again. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Regal R 85/100 - honestly way too much time has passed and while it was good, it wasnt the same. was a cool little continuation but the show was such a classic, really hard to meet those standards. i miss edward <3 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/28/23 Full Review Stacy H I'm not sure a series has even done a good reunion and Gilmore Girls is no different. It was terrible. Such a disappointment. Rory turned into such a weak, desperate character who acts like a self centered brat. The original show light, fun, pretty neutral minus the occasional moment. But this is steeped in destructive ideology that you can see in essentially every character's arc. And they're all worse off people because of it. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Mariska H It's lovely to watch Gillmore girls But the ending ?Who's the father ?And did the new inn did it happen or not ?There is too much loose ends on this seriesMust we wait 10 more years to see what's going to happen or will it end like this ?Never to be know Never to be know Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
