Everyone is always looking for Netflix recommendations, so I decided to ask Sarah what she thinks are the best shows and movies on Netflix.
1. Gilmore Girls - both the original and the arrival
On TV from 2000-2007, Gilmore Girls showed the story of a single mother, Lorelai, and her daughter, Rory, as they tackle family, friend, and romance struggles. The show also tackles generational differences and different social levels, bringing to light some of the issues they can present.
In 2016, Netflix revived the show with Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. It takes place nearly a decade after the last season of Gilmore Girls and continues to follow Lorelai and Rory and their struggles in current life.
