Georgia makes promises she can't keep such as assuring her kids that she'll refrain from dating anyone to focus on them.
Wellsbury is the kind of town built for people who look like Georgia, which makes it ripe for conquest."Ginny and Georgia" could have left out these small aggressions instead of quite accurately inserting them into its narrative stream and had a by-the-numbers appealing Netflix teen show to work with.There are plenty of other reasons for Ginny to feel like an outsider, including the classics: she's the new kid in a small town where everybody knows everyone else.She's the child of a single mother with a luscious Southern drawl built to provoke snobbery, particularly in tony New England.
Not even Wellsbury's resident queen bee Cynthia (Sabrina Grdevich) is entirely detestable; she may be used to getting her way, but she's also being surreptitiously undermined by Georgia, who is all honey, smiles and ambition.
As messy and terrifying as Georgia can be, she's also an entertaining maneater and thrilling to watch.Gentry's sensitive performance shoulders the weight of "Ginny & Georgia," and she wears her character's excitement, hope and pain with a heartbreaking lightness.Nevertheless, as part of a family of series that includes and is defined by "Gilmore" on one end of the scale and the stylized nightmare that is "Euphoria" on the other, a show like "Ginny & Georgia" plays like a product of Netflix's algorithm – a little Stars Hollow and a few parts "13 Reasons Why" with a touch of "White Oleander" to add some spice."Ginny & Georgia" is now streaming on Netflix.
