24 Shows Like "Gilmore Girls" For When You're Craving a Comfort Watch — or a Bit of Drama

If you're looking for good old family drama, you'll find a dose of it in "The Fosters," the Freeform series about an interracial lesbian couple — Steph Foster (Teri Polo) and Lena Adams (Sherri Saum) — and their one biological child and four adopted children. "The Fosters" is sweet and sentimental like "Gilmore Girls," but it also tackles issues of race, sexuality, and mental health with greater depth. The series ran for five seasons, so if you're a fan of a long-winding drama with many turns, you'll get a kick out of it. Its spinoff, "Good Trouble," follows the lives of adoptive sisters Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) and Callie (Maia Mitchell) as they settle down in Los Angeles.
