Ginny & Georgia

If this whole show would have been about Georgia it would most likely be a 10/10. Street smart and outwitting them all. She has such depth to her character, which ginny, the lead, is missing entirely.

After watching the first season 2 years ago I really wasn't a fan. The characters did not have the depth that they needed and the love triangles were just exhausting. I do understand why people wouldn't like Ginnys character there.

But the second season is something completely different. The way the series portraits trauma, mental health and day-to-day racism is very honest. The character building in season 2 is great and they added the depth that was lacking in season 1. The actions of basically everyone make sense in terms if their character. And if you still think Ginny is "a spoiled brat" and "doesn't appreciate what her mom did for her" you really didn't get the point. You can want the best for a person and still make mistakes, still cause trauma. Reacting to that isn't ungrateful, it's human. Especially for teenagers and kids.

After how season 1 went, I really wasn't sure if I wanted to watch season 2 but I'm so glad I did.

I didnt expect much from this show. I anticipated a very high school level drama with superficial problems and i got anything but... this show has layers.... the characters have layers. Whoever designed this show has some untapped talent. As the story progresses you start to justify actions you would never make, and root for people because they deserve a chance and a change at life. This show is POWERFUL. Netflix would be stupid to let this gem fall away.

Im drunk and then i realized i require 600 characters to post a review on IMDB... so let me reiterate. If you are looking for a compelling, character driven adventure... this is it. Absolutely Humanizing.

Overall I liked the show. However, I found Ginny to be incredibly annoying with her spoiled and privileged behaviour. She is downright rude to her friends and mom. Her character has a lot of maturing to do.

This is such a good show. It's a great one for parents and teens to watch together. The Virginia character however is absolutely exhausting... I am so sick of watching her grump through every scene. I think if she rolled her eyes one more time I might have thrown the remote at my screen. It's a shame because other than that it's a really good programme.
