Ginny and Georgia has always flip-flopped between soapy drama and teen comedy while also trying to be a morality tale of good vs bad. This violent swing continues throughout season three.
-
It’s the perfect example of the Netflix formula: soapy, cheesy fun led by unbelievably good-looking actors. It’s not The Sopranos. It’s not even Gilmore Girls. It’s just shiny, addictive escapism.

To the show’s credit, Ginny & Georgia has increasingly given more care and consideration to its various youngsters. .... Far less convincing, though, is the Georgia portion of the proceedings (no matter how many flashbacks or moody voiceovers are inserted in an effort to explain the mom’s genuinely perplexing and damn near pathological antics).

You can’t fault the performers, as they’re doing the best they can with the material — and often elevating it — but sadly, the acting isn’t enough to save it.
