They're back! The return of the Gilmore girls: A Year in the Life
Netflix has just dropped all six seasons of a beloved US comedy-drama, earning it the status of ultimate binge-watch treasure for fans of Gilmore Girls.
The WB sensation featuring Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel has been delighting subscribers with its endearing mother-daughter saga again and again.
If youve memorised every line of the Gilmore escapades, fear not as Graham's equally memorable show, Parenthood, is the latest addition to your Netflix binge-list.
Graham shines as Sarah Braverman-Holt in the critically acclaimed Parenthood, painting the portrait of a single mum with two teenagers, entwined in the intricate fabric of a large family dynamic.
Alongside Peter Krause's Adam, Dax Shepard's Crosby, and Erika Christensen's Julia, Sarah navigates the muddied waters of parenting, sibling bonds, and managing expectations from their parents Camille (Bonnie Bedelia) and Ezekiel (Craig T Nelson).
Despite winning critics' hearts, the show struggled with audience numbers, experiencing a slow decline in ratings across its six-season stretch. Now, all 103 episodes are landing on Netflix UK, presenting the series another shot at capturing the hearts of viewers globally.
With a devoted following, Parenthood is hailed as unmissable television, encapsulated in one Google reviewers praise as "[the most] feel good drama series I have ever watched!", reports the Mirror.
"This series touched me on so many levels. The importance of family and complications of family has been beautifully described in the story. I have many favourite characters in this one."
An avid US viewer confessed: "I just binge watched all six seasons AGAIN on Peacock Premium.
"I had previously binge watched it five years ago. It was even better the second time around with the most satisfying closure for a series ending I've seen."
The character Max Braverman (Max Burkholder), who is diagnosed with Asperger syndrome from the outset, has been praised for its authentic depiction of life with a neurodivergent child.
One parent related their personal journey in a glowing Google review: "I have a son with high functioning autism and this show has helped me so much with being more patient and understanding and helping him in his way.
"It is amazing how much it's helped me so far. Thank you for this show. I hope it goes as long as it can. Really great writing. I love this show, I wish I had siblings now though."
Another viewer exclaimed: "I love this show!" and shared their emotional connection: "I have such a soft spot in my heart for Max as I have a son who was recently diagnosed with autism and it gives me hope and comfort.."
They concluded with heartfelt praise: "Overall such a wholesome show and I still cry even though it's my second time watching. Sad it's over."
With such compelling testimonials, could Parenthood be the next series to capture your heart in 2025?
Parenthood is available to stream on Netflix.
