Why re-watching Gilmore Girls is the greatest thing in the world right now

I'm already on Season 4 out of 7 of Gilmore Girls and it's been released on Netflix for about two weeks. Can't. Stop. Watching. Why is Gilmore Girls so addicting? For me, it feels like returning to simpler times. Sure, Lorelai might break up with someone or Rory might miss a test, but everything usually works out for the best in the end. And who wouldn't want to live in Stars Hollow where everyone knows your name and festivals happen on almost a daily basis? The food in Sookie's kitchen always makes me desperately hungry and I am continually in awe of Emily and Richard's zingers. I also kind of feel smarter watching the show. It must be all the literary references and fast talking. Sure, Netflix keeps judging me by displaying the message "Are you still watching Gilmore Girls", but I refuse to feel ashamed. Judge away, Netflix. Judge away, world. Gilmore Girls is just as effective as my Grandma's potato bacon soup in this miserable weather. I'm not stopping until Luke and Lorelai finally get together (spoiler alert!).
