Ginny & Georgia- Season 3 (review)

CONTAINS SPOILERS!

The intensity is turned up to a whole new level in this new season of the Netflix drama.

The season primarily focuses on Georgia’s murder trial, following her arrest in the prior season finale for ending the life of Cynthia’s husband, in which she is dubbed the Mayoress Murderess.

As with the previous season, the show is largely hindered by depressing elements. Between Ginny’s self-harm and broader mental health struggles, Marcus’ depression and Abby’s eating disorder, there are many difficult to watch scenes that weigh heavy - not for the first time, I considered switching off.

Also providing a reason to quit while behind is the teen drama aspect. The students are seen to be very immature and dramatic and the series presents the idea that all teens skip class and smoke weed (drinking alcohol is taken more seriously than recreational drug taking!). Meanwhile, Max is called overdramatic for being upset over her friends alienating her when this is actually one of the few times one of the teens’ responses are valid!  

However, any good series has its drama increase throughout seasons and Ginny & Georgia steps up to the plate. The consequences of Georgia’s actions are heavily felt as her past crimes come to light, her marriage to Paul fails and she loses custody of both children in harrowing yet impressively powerful scenes. As all hope is lost, a shock twist sees Ginny and Austin frame his villainous father Gil for the crime. 

What we are ultimately left with is a triple murderer walking free and her children now further implicated, with Ginny worrying whether her mother can change and Georgia worrying her daughter is becoming like her, plus there’s people from Georgia’s past sniffing around and Georgia is teased to be pregnant.

Once again, the unsung hero is Diesel La Torraca who delivers the most compelling performance as Austin, particularly when he has to face returning to school.

The drama is well above par, but with the depressing and teen asides continuing to cast a dark shadow, the season can only achieve an average score on the whole.

7/10
