Ginny & Georgia

This is a show that I can definitely say it gets better which each season. The story line, the characters etc., I'm loving the overall development. It's does go from total comedy, to regular drama, to grab me my tissue throughout the seasons. I can see how some people wouldn't love that if they were hoping for something totally unserious. But overall, I think Netflix did a job well done. Casting for young Georgia and Zion- perfect. Casting for young Ginny and Austin- be serious 🙄, try again. Also, Austin, love him but if we're keeping him for season 4... him and his bully turned bestie need a time jump into 8th grade, not third 😩

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.

Season One: 7/10

Themes: Drama, Family, High School, Relationships, Fitting In, Mysterious Past & Humour.

Top five characters: 1) Georgia Miller, 2) Joe, 3) Marcus Baker, 4) Ellen Baker and 5) Maxine Baker.

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.

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.
