‘Ginny & Georgia’ Review

Ginny & Georgia

Netflix

As a fan of Gilmore Girls, Hart of Dixie, Virgin River, I just didn’t think I could take another ‘girls in small-town show’. And when I learned that Ginny & Georgia was a single mother who had her daughter as a teenager, well basically I thought it was just another Gilmore Girls. All of this is to explain why I waited so long to watch it. But oh, it is not. It is so much more. And I am pleasantly surprised.

What seems like is another story of ‘privileged woman gives birth to a daughter as a teenager, their lives turn our perfect and they are best friends as they ride off into the sunset’ you quickly find out is not the truth.

Sure Ginny & Georgia has the family and small town aspect. But what it also has is mystery and intrigue. And the topics aren’t all sunshine and roses and ‘where will I go to college?’ The series tackles serious topics like racism and sexuality. Although not yet renewed for a second season, there is a ton more to unpack. Fingers cross.

Cool cool cool. Fun fun fun.
