Gilmore Girls kicked off in 2000 and ran for seven seasons. It dives into lives of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore in Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Fast dialogue, endless pop culture nods and those sweet moments with town’s oddballs make it a classic. Family, love, dreams- this show has it all. Who knew watching a mother-daughter duo could be this entertaining?

Meet the characters from Gilmore Girls

Lorelai

Lorelai is this brilliant, chaotic force of nature who drinks coffee like it’s a personality trait and speaks at 400 words per minute — honestly, I think half her lines are just caffeine-fueled wit. She’s fiercely independent, the kind of mom who’d fix the boiler at midnight and then drag her daughter to a midnight diner for pancakes because why not, tradition is flexible. She’s warm and reckless in equal measures: nurturing and hyper-organized about some things (holiday decorations, absolutely) and totally flighty about others (commitment? oh boy). Also she collects weird antiques and has Opinions about every town event, even when she swears she doesn’t care — which she totally does.

Rory

Rory is the quintessential bookish brainiac with a soft core and an alarming ability to crush a research paper at 3 a.m., usually fueled by tea and moral dilemmas. She’s ambitious and earnest and will defend a perfectly good library seat like it’s her personal throne, but she can also be shy in big, messy-life moments and shock you by making a half-spontaneous, very Rory decision. Organized to a fault (lists, lists, lists) yet occasionally loses her keys or her patience with people, which is strangely relatable. She loves stories — reading them, being in them, sometimes being sucked into romantic ones she swore she’d only observe — and has a quiet, stubborn loyalty that sneaks up and wins you over.
