When a series resembles Gilmore Girls and receives frequent comparisons to the impossibly popular and beloved comedy-drama, it’s a tough cross to bear. How could a show live up to the legacy of Gilmore Girls or even build on it? Sure, Netflix’s highly talked about new series Ginny & Georgia forges a similar path as Lorelai and Rory, but is it worth following their lead?
Ginny & Georgia stars Brianne Howey as Georgia Miller, the 30-year-old single mother of 15-year-old Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and nine-year-old Austin (Diesel La Torraca). Ginny and Georgia have an interesting dynamic, as Ginny’s often much more mature than her relatively young mother. But the small family finally settles down in a small New England town for a hopefully normal life.
Ginny and Georgia picked up a two-season renewal on Netflix. Ginny and Georgia season 3 is officially in the works, as is season 4. Fans were worried that the show was going to be canceled, but instead, Netflix ordered two seasons. That’s not bad!
Verdict: WATCH
