Settled in Stars Hollow, Connecticut, Rory and Lorelai Gilmore live out their seemingly normal lives. However, tensions rise as Rory heads off to Chilton School and meets a boy while Lorelai experiences troubles as a manager at the Independence Inn.
This is Rory Gilmore. Her real name is Lorelai, named after her mother. But to distinguish herself and her mom, she goes by Rory. Rory is the quintessential example of a perfect daughter: she's kind, has great friends, gets good grades, and respects her small town. However, she finds herself falling for a boy named Dean Forester. |
This is the reigning Lorelai. She is the mom that everyone wants. She's also the one who you can't imagine is a mom. Lorelai had Rory as a teenager with her boyfriend Christopher Hayden. She's quirky, talks really fast, and loves coffee. How can anyone not like her? |
Lane Kim is Rory's best friend. Lane is the rebellious teenager in all of us. Her mom, Mrs. Kim, is a strict Seventh Day Adventist and sells antiques. Lane, on the other hand, loves rock and roll and dyed her hair purple once. Just like any sneaky teenager would do, Lane hides all her things underneath the floorboards near her bed. |
Dean Forester is Rory's first boyfriend. He is the sweetest one. (I'm totally not biased. Well maybe I am because he's played by Jared Padalecki.) Dean is a caring boyfriend who is willing to change if it helps the relationship. Rory encouraged him to pursue higher education and he took her advice to heart and applied to Southern Connecticut State College. He even built Rory a car! A properly working car! What else can you want? (Seriously, for those who hate Dean or are against #TeamDean, please reconsider.) |
Jess Mariano is Luke Dane's nephew. He's the bad boy who falls in love with Rory. While he may seem like a douchebag in the beginning, he is sweet and gentle to Rory. He treats others like trash, but to Rory he gives her all his attention. (I can see why majority of Gilmore Girls fans are #TeamJess, but they have to reconsider about being Rory's boyfriend.) |
Logan Huntzberger III. He's the Yale legacy and runs Yale's school newspaper. He meets Rory and tries to gain her attention through the mysterious club called Life and Death Brigade and by buying a whole food cart for her. His family is similar to the Gilmore family. Well, Rory's grandparent's family. They're both rich and come from a line of Yale legacies. While Logan was a player, his feelings for Rory have always been clear. |
Luke Danes is the owner of Luke's Diner. His small, commodious diner welcomes the residents of Stars Hollow. Although he's not a dad (or is he?) , he has the typical "dad responses". I don't want to call Luke as pessimistic, but he is a realistic person. He believes in practicality. He begins to develop an affection for Lorelai when she visits his diner and he helps fix her house. |
Are you #TeamDean? #TeamJess? #TeamLogan? Or even #TeamRory? Let me know in the comments below!
I really enjoy this show. The show focuses on the character development of both main and secondary characters. I can relate more to this show because Rory is a high school student/college student, dealing with the coming-of-age events unlike dystopian television shows set in the future. I highly recommend this show for everyone! This is a fantastic show and you will not be disappointed.
The show started in 2000 and has 7 seasons and each episode is 40 minutes long. In 2016, Netflix released four 90-minute episodes recounting a year in the life of the Gilmore girls. (If you would like a review of the newer episodes, please let me know in the comments!) The show ended with unfinished business. I wouldn't exactly call it a cliffhanger because it didn't make me feel blindsided. The newer episodes definitely released me from mystery. The original show and the newer episodes are available on Netflix.

September 1, 2009 just seems like a normal Labor Day. However, one girl becomes missing. A year later, four girls--Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields, and Spencer Hastings--receive an anonymous person called "A" about their secrets. Those secrets were kept by their dead friend named Alison Dilaurentis.
This show has captivated my attention ever since the first episode. Although the title may seem to be suitable only for girls, boys can watch this show and still be able to enjoy it. The show is all about finding who that anonymous A is, saving the girls' lives, finding the truth about Alison's death, and more!
I usually do not enjoy horror or thriller, but this show revealed the darker side of me. I have never thought about the traps and series of tests that A sends the girls. This show makes me wonder if other people are truly good and whether lies are better than truths. (Okay I'll stop there because I'm going to sound like a psychopath. I promise* you that you will not become a psychopath after watching this. *Not guaranteed.)

Aria Montgomery is the artsy girl who plans to major in English. Her family moved to Iceland after an incident her father had with a student. It seems like the history is going to repeat as Aria accidentally finds out that the guy she started seeing is her high school English teacher, Mr. Ezra Fitz. |
Emily Fields is the star athlete. She's a top swimmer at Rosewood High School. Her parents worked in the military and Fields family is the perfect American family. However, Emily develops feelings for her neighbor, Maya St. Germain. Can she come out to her parents? |
Spencer Hastings is the definitely the definition of the word "overachiever". Her parents work in law and she has her perfect older sister, Melissa Hastings, to compete with. She loves French and researching. However, she has a craving for her sister's boyfriends. |
Alison Dilaurentis. Where do I even begin? She's the leader of the friend group. The girls wouldn't have been friends or met each without her. She keeps all their secrets because that's what keeps her friends close. One night she goes missing, but her body was found a year later. Could those texts actually be from Alison? |
Who do you think is Uber A? Let me know in the comments! I'll post my favorite Uber A theories in a future post!
This show is great for anyone who enjoys mystery. It is not like the typical mystery with murder, although murder is involved. There may be some scenes that are not suitable for those under 14. There are references to sex, drugs, and violence throughout the show. Themes of family, friendship, and trust are commonly shown. The best episodes have to be the finales for sure. They are the definition of cliff hangers. I would not recommend this show to anyone who is impatient. We don't discover who A is under season 6. Currently, we are finding out the identity of Uber A, who is bigger and "badder" than Original A and Big A.
One thing I got from this show was fashion inspiration. The clothes that the girls wear is not realistic to the high school students I know. Most high school kids wear sweat pants all day. These girls are dressed to impress. My favorite outfits are Aria's outfits because they're spunky and unique. However, I find that Emily's and Spencer's styles are closer to mine.
I rate this show a 4.8/5 because some of the episodes are not made for moving the plot forward. I have to deduct points off because of the amount of time fans have to wait for season 7B (which is 7 months).
The show started in 2010 and 2017 is the end of the show. Currently, there are 7 seasons and the last part of the 7th season begins on April 28, 2017. Each episode is 40 minutes long. This show is available on Freeform and Netflix.

Sherlock Holmes, the self-proclaimed highly functioning sociopath, finds himself teamed up with Dr. John Watson, the army doctor who served in Afghanistan. It's the modernized version of the classic story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. With Sherlock's and John's skills, the truths they discover may be hard to swallow.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson live in modern day London at their apartment on 221B Baker Street, owned by their landlady Mrs. Hudson. (I really like how the show did not neglect the secondary characters, such as Mary (Mrs.) Watson. Even these characters have interesting history and plots, especially in the more recent seasons.)
The names of the episodes are allusions to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short stories; the original titles of the stories serve as the basis of the stories. For example, the original story of Study in Scarlet is redone as "Study in Pink" and Reichenbach Fall alludes to the original ending of Holmes and Moriarty jumping to their deaths. I think this idea is genius because I can find the original story and compare it to the episode to see how director Steven Moffat interpreted the stories.
I really enjoy this show because the show zooms in on Sherlock's "mind palace". What is a mind palace? Well, a mind palace is where a person can search up information and swipe, rearrange, and cut information, but all of this happens in the mind. It is similar to making a Google Document and making edits and searching for sources. The show makes me think differently and Sherlock's observational skills are impressive. I think almost everyone would like to have a "mind palace". It's better than photographic memory. This talent would be very useful when taking tests, right?

What also makes this show so captivating is the cast. Benedict Cumberbatch obviously is a great actor and has nice cheekbones, or as Irene Adler would say: "Oh, look at those cheekbones. I could cut myself slapping that face. Would you like me to try?" Martin Freeman has the best facial expressions of all time. He represents the John in all of us when we deal with a friend like Sherlock. Andrew Scott plays Jim Moriarty. His Moriarty voice is nasally and fun to imitate. All these characters have their quirks.
I think another reason why this show is adored by so many is the adventures that Sherlock and John go on and the friendship between them. Many fans have dubbed the two as "Johnlock" and so many have drawn NSFW fan art. I don't oppose the OTP of john and Sherlock, Yep, some fangirls are extremely crazy. A Superwholock myself (a fan of Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock), I think those fans have gone too far. Especially with pictures comparing Sherlock to an otter and John to a hedgehog. (Pictures can be seen below.) Exactly.

I would recommend this show especially to patient people. Each season comes out every 2 years, BUT has 3 episodes of 90 minutes each. Each episode is crafted carefully and with quality writing. So, all that waiting is worth it. Currently there are 4 seasons and the 3rd episode of season 4 may be the last one of the series, but it depends on Steven Moffat. The show has references to language and use of alcohol and drugs. Many of the themes contain relatively morbid elements. There is little on-screen violence.
This show has a special place in my heart, but I have to rate it 4.9/5 because of the period of time fans have to wait. The show is available on BBC One, BBC America, PBS, and Netflix.
