Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia aired in February of 2021 and since then it’s been a roller coaster between this mother and daughter duo.
We meet Ginny (Antonia Gentry), a fifteen year old biracial girl and Georgia (Brianne Howey) when the tight knit duo, with a striking resemblance relationship wise to the Gilmore Girls, along with nine year old Austin, move to an affluent neighborhood to both get away from the past, and start fresh. But this comedy/drama/romance is nowhere as fun loving as Gilmore Girls when it takes a dark turn, for both mother and daughter.
With Ginny struggling with her identity while being biracial, falling in and out of love, trying to fit in and make good choices, protecting her mental health and maintaining her relationship with her mother, the fifteen year old is a whirlwind of dangerous mistakes and self harm. But Ginny isn’t the only one still adjusting to the move, and with Georgia’s ghosts resurfacing just when she’s finally found love and stability, the choices they make throughout the show will pull you simultaneously in both directions.
While the show is centered around Ginny’s coming of age and her questions about her mother’s secretive past, we also get to see her make friends, fall for the boy next door, make mistakes and influence her younger brother in a not so positive direction and as Georgia’s secrets come to light at the end of season one, we’re left waiting to see how Ginny’s impulsive reactions to questionable news will play out.
Season two is currently set to air mid to late 2022.
