I came into this expecting a modern spin on Gilmore Girls and that's what I got. Well, if Lorelai murdered people sometimes and the show had a LOT of abrupt tonal shifts. Its giving me some whiplash going back and fourth between Ginny and Georgia's implied to be very dark past to their more Gilmore Girls style hijinks with teen dating and Georgia dealing with small town life. The show obviously knows about the inevitable GG connection, probably was inspired by it to the point that they even name drop it right in the pilot, but the darker tone could let it do its own thing more. Georgia also has a son which is another change, even if Austin is basically in the background as of now, being a cute kid and that's mostly it.
I like Ginny's new friend and her mom, but her twin seems like a real creep. They are clearly starting a love triangle between the bad boy neighbor and nice clean cut Hunter, but since they are giving creepy neighbor more screen time I guess we are supposed to be pulling for him? Its like Jess and Dean if Jess was less outwardly dickish but more stealth dickish. It also seems really weird that they spent all of this time setting Ginny up as the mature daughter to Georgie's flighty mom and then had her have unprotected sex with her weird neighbor she just said was creepy who she also knows has a girlfriend. I guess teens gonna teen.
So how sure are we that Ginny's dad is off in Alaska? Did Georgia make him a smoothie too? We saw her talking to him on the phone, but was it someone pretending to be him? Am I being paranoid? Probably, but considering she apparently murdered her last husband and set up another ex, it makes me suspicious. Does she only date the worst people in the world? Is this some kind of black widow Dexter situation where she finds creepy men and kills them? These are not questions I expected to ask for the new Gilmore Girls!
