I'm officially 2 episodes - or 6 months - into Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. I've been wanting to binge them all weekend, but I just haven't had the time, so 2 down, 2 to go. I have a range of emotions about this. Let me start with saying - I love it. I really do. I've been super excited since it was announced, and the fact that are 4 to watch, is just too good to be true.
That's not to say it's perfect. All the reviews I've read have basically said - Perfection! I'm not sure I agree. It's really, really good. I love seeing all the characters back. I love seeing Stars Hollow again - I so want to live there! I love the super fast talking. I'm just not sure I like where the story is going. Rory and Logan together still even though (Spoiler Alert!) he's engaged? It just doesn't sound like something she would do. And all of Luke and Lorelei's problems should have been discussed years ago. They've now been together for 9 years and they're just now bringing up the baby talk? It's a bit odd.
I think my major problem is the timeline. It's a bit hard to follow. In the first episode, I think Rory went back and forth from London to Stars Hollow 4 times in a week, which seems rather confusing - also, expensive. But I'm choosing to let that part slide. If the timeline were just a little clearer, I'd be much happier with it.
But aside from that small quibble. I'm LOVING it. It's fun and sweet and the perfect program for a long holiday weekend. I am currently dying to see the 3rd episode because that one includes a musical sung by Christian Borle and Sutton Foster. Seriously? How fabulous is that going to be!? I can't wait!
After 6 months - I'd say my current rating is 4 out of 5 stars (and I suspect that will be going up to 5 after the musical episode - how can you resist a good musical?!)
