If only there was more time with just the two of them. May 16, 2019 | Full Review… Neal Justin Seattle Times Top Critic In era of revivals driven and manipulated by the almighty dollar, A Year in the Life is refreshing in its genuine creation. Nov 16, 2016 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic The good news is that if you're not a Gilmore Girls person and your relatives are eager to watch it over the holidays, there's plenty of that staccato dialogue and family playfulness to entertain and divert you. Nov 29, 2016 | Full Review… Linda Holmes NPR Top Critic Gilmore Girls. It's not a lifestyle; it's a TV show you really liked 10 years ago, now extended on Netflix. We'll take it. Nov 28, 2016 | Full Review… Ben Philippe Observer Top Critic A sweet, sad, sentimental and (above all) joyous return to Stars Hollow. Nov 23, 2016 | Rating: A | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic A Year in the Life won't necessarily convert new viewers-like any revival, it's making a play for a loyal fanbase... But as a salvage attempt after Gilmore Girls' original bittersweet ending, it feels wholly justified. Nov 23, 2016 | Full Review… David Sims The Atlantic Top Critic When it's all said and done Gilmore Girls fans are likely to feel as if this is one long-delayed goodbye that was worth the wait. May 16, 2019 | Full Review… Brad Oswald Winnipeg Free Press Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life gave fans answers that they've needed for years. There are many things to celebrate about the revival. May 16, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Christine Laskodi TV Fanatic A Year in the Life, for better or worse, knows viewers want to see Emily, Lorelai, and Rory interacting with one another. May 16, 2019 | Full Review… Lauren Hoffman The Stranger (Seattle, WA) In spite of all my questions (including the fact that Gilmore Girls doesn't really understand how media and freelancing works), I've really missed Stars Hollow. May 16, 2019 | Full Review… Carly Lane The Mary Sue The best television finales are often the ones that are controversial, and that rings true more than ever for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. May 16, 2019 | Full Review… Ashley Bissette Sumerel Tell-Tale TV The witty banter between all the characters keeps you smiling, with pop culture references having been upgraded to include quips about Marvel movies and Lena Dunham. May 16, 2019 | Full Review… Zinnia Ray Chaudhuri Scroll.in View All Critic Reviews (87) Audience Reviews for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life 7h ago I only made it through 1.5 of the 4 (2-hour episodes). Horrible writing. Just because your characters talk fast doesn't make the dialogue clever. Valerie M 3d ago There is nothing I hate more than the final line of this series. I am sorry that I watched it. Sticking with season 7's ending and imagining what might have further happened with Rory and Lorelai would have been a lot better. This was really disappointing. Sana S Mar 20, 2019 I loved it but the bomb at the end was awful. They need to give us more!! Can��Â?�Â?t ��Â?just leave us hanging like that forever! Ha Sep 10, 2018 Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was a highly anticipated return to the life of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore. The 4 seasonal episodes nicely broke up the story and allowed for a greater expansion of the storylines. The characters have grown but kept their classic witty banter they are beloved for. The inclusion of modern pop culture references kept audiences engaged and laughing. I really enjoyed the cameos from so many different original Gilmore Girls characters. These were definitely noticed and appreciated by dedicated fans of the show. A part I did not care for, however, was the musical number in the Summer episode. This dragged and did not serve to move the plot along at all. I also thought the actions of Rorys character were uncharacteristic. Rory seemed much more lost and immature than she did in her younger years which just didnt make much sense to me. Overall, I thought the series was a nice depiction of Stars Hollow in modern times but a continuation of the story into more episodes would provide a better opportunity to give a more in-depth review. Callie H Sep 06, 2018 It was exactly how i imagined it to be. Amazing Victoria I Jun 25, 2018 A melhor serie de drama/romance que eu ja vi, uma serie leve, engraçada, que cativa a gente a partir do primeiro episodio. Apr 19, 2018 IF YOU LOVE THE GILMORE GIRLS DO NOT WATCH THESE THEY ARE AWFUL. rory's character is ok but her dealings with the boyfriends etc is so out of character and just not the rory from the series, the way she goes on is very annoying and just not funny in the slightest. loreli plays luke around because even in her middle age shes unsure and undecided which is so annoying , that whole side to her personality is just boring at this stage. the colouring of the 4 episodes is weird and doesn't fit, the whole thing has just lost its small town charm. the worst part was the whole steam punk musical thing they did at the end, cringed through it. so unoriginal. literally hated these. if you really like what the gilmore girls was about at the beginning of the series before the silly storylines to make it 'more juicy' for the watchers then do not watch these. awful. Emily F Mar 08, 2018 I'm so glad they did this!!! I hope they do more. I really love the reboot. The humor, the references, the characters, all amazing!!! Oct 23, 2017 One of the best comebacks ever, Gilmore Girls : A Year in the Life, offers the same witty humour as the original series. Its nostalgic feel makes for a heartwarming venture back into the sleep Stars Hollow. Joel E Jul 27, 2017 Not the same feel, pace or likability as the original series, as sad as it makes me to write that.
