A duvet day spent with the Gilmore Girls is better than any comfort food. Fact.

The fast-talking, coffee-loving, whip-smart ladies of Stars Hollow taught us many valuable lessons over the course of the show’s seven seasons. Let's face it: Rory Gilmore was the ultimate noughties teen icon - and one of the reason's we actually read The Bell Jar, finished that literature essay after bingeing on junk food and longed to be part of a town hall meeting.

So if you’re anything like us, you’ll have already cleared 25th November in your diary as Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life finally lands on Netflix. The theme song? The snarky pop-culture references? Rory’s ex-boyfriends? They’re all back.
