The Gilmore Girls come back! As Netflix at the beginning of the year, announced the series about the extraordinary mother-daughter Duo, was the euphoria in the social networks is huge. In 2007, the TV series “Gilmore Girls” ended with the lowest season your life – even because series Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino was discontinued prior to last season. Here is one of the most important series of the zero had not gotten years, so the Fan-belly feeling, to the end that she had earned.
Now the hoped-for sequel is finally here, and with it Amy Sherman-Palladino is back: From the 25. November the it is responsible new episodes are fully available on Netflix, however, not as before in the Form of a new season with 22 episodes, but as “A Year in the Life”, four episodes feature-length film to accompany the Gilmore Girls in one Season.
Much of what “Gilmore Girls”connoisseur loved the series, you will also find in these four films. Rory (Alexis Bledel) is always smart, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) talks still head and collar. In the East coast small town of Stars Hollow, still idyllic festivals are celebrated with Luke (Scott Patterson) is there in his Diner, Kirk (Sean Gunn) was acting strange, Lane (Keiko Agena) is playing in their old Band, and Emily Gilmore (Kelly Bishop), Rory’s grandmother, is still the secret Star of the Show.
The financial crisis shook even Rory
a Lot has changed, of course. Unfortunately, you can’t tell about most of it – that has made Netflix a condition before it is turned on the consequences for reviews. Especially the Details of the love life and professional life of the Gilmore Girls are off-limits. After all, so much can be revealed: For Rory, it is not run in the last nine years, as well as one might have guessed. In the last episode of the regular series, you had done your Bachelor’s degree at Yale and was considered as an “embedded journalist” with Obama in the election campaign and hope for their own future.
in 2016, you would have thought you were in reach of their great idol, CNN reporter Christiane Amanpour,. However, since 2007 the world has changed, perhaps more than in the seven years that the series ran on television. Shortly after the series end, the financial crisis shook the United States, their impact is still felt today, and this should obviously also be included in the new edition – by is shown that it is also a Privileged has to face Rory. But the Narrative fails: in Spite of a lack of professional success, Rory dines in expensive Restaurants, sleeping in luxury hotels and flying from continent to continent without the series addressed this contradiction.
Some should be familiar to you. Also in the original series, the conflicts that had originally identified the appeal of the series had become, more and more unbelievable. In the first season of the “Gilmore Girls” had borrowed Lorelai money at their rich parents in order to allow the highly talented Rory’s private school. For Lorelai, who had broken away from her parents after she had grown up with for 16 years, pregnant with Rory, went to the fights with their parents.

For Rory changed, a new world opened up. She was modest, grown up and never before with Rich. Through your grandparents you found himself suddenly at banquets, and had to fulfil social obligations, while their friends were at the grandparents, because they were enough of a Herma. How would that go with Rory’s idealism, your honesty, your lack of interest in Status and wealth?
In the later episodes diluted this conflict more and more. Rory went to Yale, had a rich friend who always took a self-evident at the Ivy League part of their lives. Of course, she was still a likeable kind of ambitious, inquisitive and clever, but without the conflict with the world of the Rich it differed but little from the other Elite students. It was always one-dimensional as a character. Unfortunately, that is not even in the new episodes that much different – and now it interferes even more, because the world has changed since 2007, in a radical way.

scene from the fourth season of “Orange Is the New Black”
Much of what the “Gilmore Girls” made at the time especially, today belongs to the Repertoire of the pop-cultural allusions, the fast dialogues, the enthusiastic commitment to the high and low brow. New standards are now Shows such as “Jessica Jones,” “Orange is the New Black” or “UnReal”, which will show how you can complex tell you about the life-worlds of women without the recess of their problems and inconsistencies.
in Contrast, the “Gilmore Girls fall off” now. Stars Hollow will appear whiter, neater and heterosexual than ever, and some character annoys in your klisch orientation. For example, Concierge Michel (Yanis Truesdale): In the first seven seasons was never pronounced that he is gay, although he was presented as a näselnder Frenchman who likes to read fashion magazines, Celine Dion listen to, and with the mother of his Arm-in-Arm shopping. Just in the series has done so much in the representation of Homosexuals, that one wonders at this point why the show runner Amy Sherman-Palladino and Netflix were brave enough to detach from the old narrative patterns.
heart broken, but re-captured
What “Gilmore Girls”, however, has always been particularly good could and what Fans love about the series is how believable she tells of conflicting emotions. This has been particularly successful in the case of grandmother Emily, who is trying in the new episodes to come to terms with her being a Widow. Actor Edward Herrmann, who played Richard Gilmore, has died the 2014. His death have translated the series creators in the death of his character and fabric for a heart-wrenching found at the end of history.
Rarely is a series told as honestly of grief, of what it means to lose after such a long marriage, a loved one: Emily is sad, angry, irrational, euphoric, challenging, and infinitely lonely. And those around you, Lorelai, worried, sensitive, annoyed and overwhelmed. No second series “Gilmore Girls breaks” the heart and starts again, in the case of a TV evening with a Fast-Food Buffet on a nearly perfect Sofa or at a city festival in Stars Hollow. Honesty without cruelty and directness, while providing maximum warmth to The occasion, this is the great Strengths of “Gilmore Girls”.
Nevertheless, the continuation of the series as a missed opportunity. How great the consequences could have been if the makers had the courage to tell the story of realistic love and career problems, on the Here and Now, and also change the word gay in the mouth?
“A Year in the Life” may be the end of the “Gilmore Girls” wished for Amy Sherman-Palladino. For Fans who expect more from a series than pure courage, unfortunately it is not.
