Live More. Laugh More. Eat More. Talk More. Gilmore.

We join three generations of women from a family as they make their way through four seasons of change. From Winter to Spring to Summer and Fall we experience their lives from questionable decisions to hard earned successes in a world of quirky boundless possibility.

Lorelai Gilmore is the owner of the Dragonfly Inn who is dealing with the need to expand her property for better profitability and a feeling of trepidation on the subject of taking a more stable step with her companion. Rory Gilmore is Lorelai’s daughter who is beginning to find the experience of freelance journalism taxing and is in a friends with benefits relationship with her engaged ex. Emily Gilmore is Lorelai’s mother who is still in the process of grieving over the death of her husband and beginning to find the life she had become accustomed to tedious due to the superficial people inhabiting it. Luke Danes is the owner and operator of Luke’s Diner in Stars Hollow as well as being Lorelai’s lover and companion who is concerned about her current feeling of restlessness.

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life is a breath of fresh air in the current wave of nostalgia driven TV shows in that it not only retains the heart of the original series, but builds upon the foundation set. Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel and Kelly Bishop are at the top of their game and inhabit the roles in a way that makes you forget that the original series ended 10 years ago. The rest of the cast who made the effort to reprise their roles is much appreciated in even the smallest cameo. Amy Sherman-Palladino & Daniel Palladino do a fantastic job of reminding us why we love this dramedy series in the way they write and direct each episode. Stars Hollow, Connecticut has never felt so vibrant as it does in this limited series that gives us a snapshot of the lives and loves of the different incarnations of the Gilmore ladies.

I rate this revival a 4.5 out of 5.
