Ginny & Georgia

“After bingeing all 10 hour-long episodes, you might find yourself in a rut of self-loathing: ‘I know this isn’t ‘good’,’ you’ll think, ‘so why can’t I stop watching?’ Because 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.”
Poppie Platt, The Telegraph

“This tale of a troubled mother-daughter duo in an all-American white picket fence town is not a good series. It’s schmaltzy and melodramatic, with characters as unrealistic as they are frustrating. Yet, despite its obvious flaws, there’s something truly earnest that leaves me – and millions of others – unable to stop watching, even purely out of frustration and the ongoing question of ‘how’s Georgia getting herself out of this one?!’ It’s my favourite hate-watch.”
