Many women and girls have been guided by a show in television titled "Gilmore Girls." Hence, when Netflix announced a revival of the series in 2015, many of its grown-up followers got excited and waited in anticipation.
More than a decade ago, "Gilmore Girls" aired on E4 and the lead girl in the show was aged under 15. Now, she has finished a degree in Oxford and is working in an international development. The revival aired with four episodes on Nov. 25, Friday.
People love to watch the tandem of the mother-daughter who are more like best friends, Lorelai Gilmore and her child Rory Gilmore. After nine years since the last episode, they wonder if Lorelai finally married Luke Danes and who will be Rory's guy among Dean Forester, Jess Mariano and Logan Huntzberger.
Fans later discovered that Rory and Huntzberger are still seeing and sleeping with each other, while having their respective significant others. The characters' adulterous behavior even surprised the Rory Gilmore actress Alexis Bledel.
"I think it's a little uncomfortable for [Rory] even though she's kind of putting on a brave face that she's fine with it," Bledel told Entertainment Tonight. "I think she's actually not that emotionally connected to it."
The Netflix revived series is simply an odd little show where nothing much is happening. In a small town in America, a family encounters its share of ups and downs. Sans violence and gratuitous sex, "Gilmore Girls" is a kind of show that is comfortable to watch with anyone as it is just a tale of everyday life.
Netflix's show is just the ordinary stuff of growing older, having jobs and getting married. It includes life's ups and downs, as well as births, weddings and holidays in between. Some highlights were still little things from which a drama can be pulled off, like a superb kitchen experience or eating a leftover food from the container.
Now, the show's followers are stuck to the final four words in the highly anticipated revival, "A Year in the Life." During the ending, the mother and daughter conversed.
"Mom?" "Yeah?" "I'm pregnant."
Rory will likely have the same fate as her mom, raising a child without the help of a husband. Lauren Graham, who plays as Lorelai, believes it made sense.
"I had a very general sense of where Lorelai was that made complete sense to me," Graham told The Hollywood Reporter. "Eventually, I read it and it was very satisfying."
