April is from the Sherman-Palladino era, she appears halfway through season 6.

Yeah, I saw some people complaining about the slightly fantastical nature of the end (and of the rampage of the rich losers), but the whole thing is a fantasy, why not embrace it? (Course, that didn't stop me wondering how Rory is flying back and forth to London all the time when she doesn't have any money.)
As someone who has watched the whole thing through several times, I did have a few issues. Stars Hollow does not have a pool. And Emily never mentioned Nantucket before in her life - they were a Martha's Vineyard family through and through.

Stars Hollow also doesn't have police? Or black people for that matter.

i'm guessing in the intervening nine years taylor lobbied for a pool and luke fought him on it for some reason and we just missed those wacky shenanigans

i'm down with that notion

taylor: "we need a pool in this town, pools convey a sense of class and make for a fine summer attraction."
luke: "pools convey a sense of urine. also i'm scared of pools. my father was a pool."

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” hails from the “Gilmore Girls” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, and it shares some of that show’s rhythms and mannerisms. Quick and clever dialogue, yes, and also a main character who’s quite taken by her own impish brassiness. Rachel Brosnahan (“House of Cards”) stars as Miriam Maisel, a.k.a. Midge, living her nice-Jewish-girl Upper West Side dream in 1958. After her aspiring-stand-up husband turns out to be a dud both onstage and off, Midge discovers she’s actually the one with the comedy chops. The show operates at maximum archness, and while the period setting never feels truly real, the moments of emotional authenticity that do break through shine beautifully and brightly.

ASP's new show on Amazon (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) is excellent.
