No Good Reason To Continue Watching

TLDR - someone give me a reason to continue watching past S2. Especially with no S5.

I started the show over a year ago. I quit watching around S1E5 or something. I lijed the idea of housewife criminals but honestly did't get hooked.

I came back and enjoyed S1 a bit but honestly really disliked Rio.

I started getting annoyed at how inept they were. Make a stack and then lose it all. Over and over.

I mostly liked Annie's arc and story. Ruby and Stan are so devoted to each other. Love Stan.

Beth and Dean are both pretty horiible. Dean you hate right away. Beth took time for me to figure out that she is pretty manipulative of everyone and in general doesn't consider her besties or her family when she makes unilateral decisions.

I thought S2 was great. Lot's of different things going on with bodies and crimes and FBI.

But I still hated Beth's obsession with Rio. He was seriously bad and dangerous and in no way would be fair to Beth if he wasn t getting his end.

At the same time I became more annoyed at Beth. Primarily because she didn't seem to learn much as a criminal. Making the same mistakes over and over.

&gt;!I was so happy that Beth plugged Río in S2 and thought S3 would refresh with a different bad guy.!<

But then S3 is simply more make a stack and lose the stack. It's the same failing to be decent criminals story over and over.

And now the pregnancy and Río forcing her to the ob/gyn? Sorry. Just stupid. And no explanation how he gets away with kidnapping an FBI agent?

I know fans hate detractors but I m gonna take another break unless someone can help me figure out it's worth it.

PS - I don't care about spoilers. I know how the 3 main arcs end and I sort if hate it for how Annie ends up. Probably the "most" follower character.

You are throwing a fun party and want a crazy party vibe. Who from the GG universe gets an invite?

Lorelai & Jason as a couple, Lane's band plays the gig. Logan and his boys understanding Logan will overindulge and kick off some shit. Madeline and Louise (natch). Lulu and Kirk. Babette and Morey if he sits in with the band. Possibly Lucy and Olivia.

Who would you stock at your party and what is the vibe?

Starting S1 for like the 5th time.

In E1 Lorelai wisely decides to not date a Chilton dad.

4 episodes later Max harrases her into a coffee date. A huge mistake for Rory. And totally off brand for Lorelai.

Also from scene one together, parent/teacher night, Max has his hands on her. In what world does a teacher put hands on a female parent.

He does the same thing at bake sale. He is such a creeper. Swears he'll take the heat if Chalmers finds out then breaks up with her immediately when he does.

At coffee he makes up a complete bs story to Lorelai about his Uncle.

He also uses Rory over and over as an in to get close to Lorelai.

So for all you Max fans... you're wrong. He's a creeper. Charmjng but a creeper.
