Gilmore Girls Fans All Seem To Agree On How They Feel About Kirk

On Reddit, u/imkirbyy shared the opinion that Kirk is the most underrated character on "Gilmore Girls." They continued, "He does not care what others think, he's tried every single job there is, and he is a phenomenal lover of the arts." The thread creator also praised Kirk for his dedication to his girlfriend, Lulu Kuschner.

Many fans couldn't have agreed more. Several users shared how they prefer Kirk over other characters. U/nutcracker_78 said, "I adore Kirk. There is a reason he is one of the featured characters in the intro because he gives the show more than most of the other top-tier characters." U/Alternative-Goal6200 revealed that, other than Luke, Kirk was why they kept tuning into "Gilmore Girls."

U/BellesNoir begged to differ that Kirk is underrated. According to them, Kirk is beloved by the masses more than people realize: "He is universally adored and appreciated. He is understated because a man of such renown, class, and poise does not need to bring attention to himself. Attention will come instinctively." U/aghostgarden added, "He brought us Cat Kirk; how could we not love him?"

Overall, viewers of "Gilmore Girls" feel strongly about Kirk for many reasons. Not only does he provide comic relief, but he also experiences quite the impressive character growth. In early episodes, Kirk lives with his mother and struggles to connect with others. By the end of the series, he has moved out, is in a committed relationship with Lulu, and can call Lorelai and Luke true friends.
