I can tell you the exact problem with this series from the get go. It's almost like the writer in some cases ignores the fact that it's been ten years since the show ended in terms of character development. The only exception being Rory who sadly, with her lack of ambition, becomes more unlikable than she was towards the end of the original series. It's very hard to believe that Lorelei and Luke just put off getting married, Rory never really achieved much career wise and still has a friends with benefits relationship with Logan. The only thing that was nicely done was the handling of the absent grandfather and how life has to move on. If the ending of this series would have happened at the end of original then it would have made a lot more sense, but it's not as poignant as it would have been because Rory is now a fully grown adult. It's nice to watch just for the nostalgia but fans of the original will probably be disappointed that the character development has basically gone no where.
