why do you like Gilmore Girls?

As someone who just finished their first watch, and who is new to the sub, I’m noticing a LOT of GG hate in this sub. Discussing and critiquing is one thing, but I’m just confused about the “Rory and Lorelei are SO annoying,” “this is the worst writing ever” type comments. So genuine question I’d love to discuss- if you hate the Gilmores, or hate the writing, why do you consider yourself a fan of the show? What draws you to it? Why even watch it?

And for the people who DO genuinely like the show for the most part, what’s your favorite thing about it? What specifically makes it your favorite show?

For me, I see myself so much in both Lorelei and Rory. I think this show taught me a lot about myself and kind of was what I needed to get motivated again to go back to school and start putting the work in. I also love the humor in it. Does anyone have any sentimental reasons that the show means a lot to you?
