Gilmore Girls is a series that owes a lot to Netflix, with a whole new audience discovering the show on the streaming service (myself included), to the point where they decided to make a (mostly successful) revival.

Gilmore Girls, with its cutesy mother-daughter promo images and WB/CW origins, is easy to write off. But doing so ignores that this comedy-drama - which excels at both aspects - is full of pop culture references, whip-smart, rapid-fire, imminently quotable dialogue, weird and wonderful characters, and a whole lot of heart.

Bingeing now means you can go all the way through and have the ending Amy Sherman-Palladino always envisaged, with some joyous highs and tear-inducing lows along the way.
