Tal Mãe, Tal Filha

For the first time in my life, I decided to watch a series in one go, so I devoted an hour and a half to Gilmore Girls every day for almost three months. That decision came at the right time because when else to uplift the mood than with a family comedy for romantic souls during the tough times of the coronavirus pandemic? I have to admit that I had a really good time most of the time with the many ironic references, sharp humor, and pop culture jokes. Plus, I feel like I've seen probably the most talked-about show of all time. Fortunately, that chattiness had substance, but it was only in the final season that everything seemed a bit forced.

The seventh season was really scraping the bottom of the barrel, so it's just as well that the creators decided to end the series. Although I was slowly starting to be annoyed by the carelessness and vanity of the upper social classes into which the Gilmore Girls gradually delved over the years, especially in this season, I don't regret having gone through this journey with them. If for nothing else, then at least for Lorelai's awkward and heartfelt declaration of love to Luke in the form of a bar karaoke rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" in the twentieth episode. I'd probably suffer through anything for this touching scene. (04/12/2020)
