[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clever writing, chock full of pop references that are very entertaining. Heartwarming stories, humor, (mostly) charismatic cast. I recently watched with my 11 yo daughter and we both loved it, and it was a great opportunity to discuss an array of life lessons. But in my experience people either adore Amy Sherman-Palladino projects or dislike them, not much middle ground.[/quote]

My tween daughter and I spent an entire summer watching all seasons - it was quite the bonding experience.  There are annoying moments and it's not "high art," but it's certainly entertaining and often quite hilarious.  However, I found that I *hated* The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (except for the clothes) because that same stagey, [b]rat-a-tat-tat Amy Sherman-Palladino dialogue[/b] was so incredibly grating.  And there were definitely some later GG seasons that were pretty bad, compared to the great first ones.[/quote]

This. While I enjoyed Gilmore Girls, watched it all, alone. Single gal in my apartment at the time! I'm thinking of watching with my tween now.
The dialogue is TOO studied, TOO quick. Your full attention is on the show to enjoy the back and forth, but a back part of your brain has this HUGE eyeroll about it and it's very distracting. I feel the same way about Clerks and pretty much anything Kevin Smith. (who I also adore)[/quote]
