Plots(1)
Thirtysomething Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) has made her share of mistakes in life, but she has been doing her best to see that her college-bound daughter - and best friend in the world - Rory (Alexis Bledel), doesn't follow in her footsteps. That may be easier said than done, considering that the two share the same interests, the same intellect, the same coffee addiction and the same eyes. Rory is more serious than Lorelai, but there are tendencies, especially in the love department, that clearly indicate she is her mother's daughter. From the beginning, this unique mother-daughter team has been growing up together. Lorelai was just Rory's age when she became pregnant and made the tough decision to raise her baby alone.

Gilmore Girls (2000)
For the first time in my life, I decided to watch a series in one go, so I devoted an hour and a half to Gilmore Girls every day for almost three months. That decision came at the right time because when else to uplift the mood than with a family comedy for romantic souls during the tough times of the coronavirus pandemic? I have to admit that I had a really good time most of the time with the many ironic references, sharp humor, and pop culture jokes. Plus, I feel like I've seen probably the most talked-about show of all time. Fortunately, that chattiness had substance, but it was only in the final season that everything seemed a bit forced. (80%)

Season 7 (2006) (S07)
The seventh season was really scraping the bottom of the barrel, so it's just as well that the creators decided to end the series. Although I was slowly starting to be annoyed by the carelessness and vanity of the upper social classes into which the Gilmore Girls gradually delved over the years, especially in this season, I don't regret having gone through this journey with them. If for nothing else, then at least for Lorelai's awkward and heartfelt declaration of love to Luke in the form of a bar karaoke rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" in the twentieth episode. I'd probably suffer through anything for this touching scene.
