I've watched the whole thing but I'm not sure why. There's something hypnotizing about it that I just can't look away from. I don't think it's particularly good, but the fast talking and weird as fuck town vibes just makes me stare ever deeper into the abyss.

A lot of it feels really vapid. Lorelai's a fucking awful mother and her reasons for hating her own parents seem superficial most of the time.

I think when Rory for no fucking reason decides to quit yale and live in her grandparents' poolhouse is when I stopped being hypnotized by the show, it just became too stupid. But by that time I was too in deep to not see it through to the end.

I think the vapid nature of it actually helps it out tbh. It's also a pretty interesting look at the early 2000s since there are some outdated, yet realistic for the time, jokes in there.

And yeah, hypnotizing is a great word to describe it as a show. My mom loves the show, and I feel like every year, she decides to rewatch it out of nowhere, but if I accidentally start watching a little bit while out in the living room, suddenly my whole day is spent watching it.
