Image Credit: Everett Collection Logo text Gilmore Girls, which is known to get a streaming bump during the fall season, centers around the relationship between thirtysomething single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her teen daughter, Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel), in the quirky, small fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. The cozy aesthetic, New England setting and back-to-school storylines featured in the dramedy make it a go-to autumnal show.
