Don't get the appeal for this show. Sure, there is chemistry between the actors, but I was extremely annoyed with the show. It portrays trivial things as problems to the "protagonists", but to me it just comes off as being extremely snobbish. For example (Spoilers ahead), Rory's grandfather tries to use his influence to get her into Yale. Both Rory and her mother make a huge deal out of this, saying she wants to go Harvard (something which the show has hammered into our brains time and time again). But then, Rory turns around and joins Yale anyway. Also, she is the poster child of entitlement. She hardly does any journalistic work and is surprised when she is told she won't succeed? Also, she talks about having soooo many problems, like: Oh no! I have to choose between Harvard and Yale! Such hard choices! It's not like both are excellent colleges! Oh no! Look at my hard life! I only have one pair of ultra-rich grandparents who live in a mansion and are willing to finance me for almost anything I want to do! Oh no! My mom lets me do basically whatever I want! So many problems. Add to that terrible portrayals of people from other cultures and sexual orientations, and you got yourself a terrible show. Now, many of you may like it, and that's perfectly fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. According to me, you should skip this. Sometimes, taking out your nostalgic goggles can help you see the terrible quality of the show.
