“It’s horrifying. It’s like a freaking nightmare.”
For those not in the know, Gilmore Girls is a show about two women, a mother and her daughter with only sixteen years separating them.

Not much of the original series survives, so as with their recent production of “The Quatermass Experiment” the BBC has updated and re-made the production.
