GINNY AND GEORGIA became familiar viewing after watching all thirty episodes covering three seasons. I felt right at home experiencing Southern charm in the New England region. This is astonishingly true even though the story content involved murder and mayhem. If choosing to tune in, be sure to check your disbelief at the screen door.Â
Every moment rests on the strong, capable, acting talent of the two leading characters, Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and Georgia (Brianne Howey). This mother/daughter dynamic is off the charts. Both could ignite anyone’s day with their powerful choices when playing these emotionally connected and challenging women. When they had mental breakdowns, it felt like a trigger for buckets of tears and anguish, yet there was so much more. Lust, sex, teenage anxiety, addiction, drugs, alcohol, self-harm, eating disorders, abusive relationships, and poverty are just a few of the subplots. And let us not forget the comedic aspect of GINNY AND GEORGIA. Believe it or not, the show is filled with light, heart-warming sequences. It was definitely a kaleidoscope of raging hormones and where moral boundaries must stand. Personally, the series just might be an addiction as well. I know I couldn’t stop.Â
GINNY AND GEORGIA was filled with an exceptional ensemble of actors who were not only great eye-candy but also worked those story arcs into a frenzy. Nothing was off the writer’s table to keep viewers hooked. It made me wonder what goes on behind the curtain in any small town. There was more sensationalism within Main Street than in New York City.Â
The three seasons of GINNY AND GEORGIA were not consistent. This was a problem at times. Season two was better than the first, but it took four episodes into the third season to grab and hold my attention to the cliffhanger finale. I am hoping for more. I hate being left holding the milk bottle.Â
GINNY AND GEORGIA can float your cravings for a piece of pie and a lot of wine. I think that is known as an acquired taste.
It is streaming on Netflix. Â
