Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life (2016)

The ending the Palladinos never got to write in 2007. Set nine years after the original finale, this Netflix revival tells one year in four feature-length episodes named Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, each running 88 to 102 minutes, with the couple back as writers and directors. It is gloriously indulgent: Stars Hollow: The Musical gets an extended showcase, and the town's oddballs get room to riff. Rory's aimless year is the weak spot, so come for Lorelai, Emily and the closing scene, and accept that the musical is a detour you either love or fast-forward.
