‘Ginny & Georgia’ Is Not Entertaining. It’s One Trauma Dump After Another.
HuffPost
The Netflix series has been compared to “Gilmore Girls,” but it’s nothing like it at all.
“We’re like the Gilmore Girls but with bigger boobs,” Georgia (Brianne Howey) quips to her daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry) during the first season of Netflix’s “Ginny & Georgia.”
Even though both shows are about a mother-daughter duo, anyone who has watched “Gilmore Girls” knows that this is an ironically false comparison. Unlike “Gilmore Girls,” “Ginny & Georgia” is a soapy drama driven by a poorly executed trope of an anti-hero and less witty dialogue.
The third and latest season is no exception, and the mother-daughter dynamic that made the first season fun to watch had already lost its charm by the end of Season 2 and is almost nonexistent in the third season.
The latest season picks up where the previous left off. Georgia has been arrested for murder during the wedding reception of her marriage to Paul (Scott Porter), the mayor of Wellsbury. For those keeping track, Paul is her third husband. She framed her first, Gil (Aaron Ashmore), for fraud because he was abusive, and she killed her second for touching Ginny inappropriately.
Moving to Wellsbury and beginning a relationship with Paul was supposed to be their fresh start, a way for Georgia to give her kids the security that she always wanted for them. However, during the third season that security is constantly under threat as Georgia’s present-day actions and past crimes come to light.
