After many months of anticipation, today finally saw the release of Netflix’s heavily hyped revival of Gilmore Girls, subtitled A Year in the Life.
Unlike the usual 13-episode season structure of most Netflix original series, A Year in the Life encompasses 4 episodes that each run about 90 minutes in length, with each episode set during and named after one season of the titular year.
Unsurprisingly, A Year in the Life has proven to be no different, with two snappy references being made to both DC and Marvel superhero films before the end of the revival’s first episode.
Contrary to Gilmore Girls’ widely disliked seventh – and originally final – season on The CW, A Year in the Life has been a smash so far with both fans and critics, currently holding an 83% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
