Ginny & Georgia

I don't understand the vitriol against Ginny (but somehow none against Georgia). I think it's obvious that Ginny's issues are generational amd the trauma is passed down from her mother.

But Ginny is not spoiled or ungrateful. I find it actually quite sad that some of the people in the reviews can't find empathy or relatability with Ginny. Her mother failed to keep her safe and has dragged her along across white America without practicing any boundaries. Any child who grows up in this kind of environment and social setting where her mother fraternizes with her schoolmates and openly uses her sexuality to scam men and doesn't turn out to be an addict? That would be considered a success. Lack of stability does wonders to your upbringing. Obviously Ginny is not without faults, and I think her failts mirror and compare with her mother's in an actually poignant way. Her character is invaluable to the narrative.

I do think this show is vapid, pandering, and portrays teenagers in the worst way.

I didnt expect much from this show. I anticipated a very high school level drama with superficial problems and i got anything but... this show has layers.... the characters have layers. Whoever designed this show has some untapped talent. As the story progresses you start to justify actions you would never make, and root for people because they deserve a chance and a change at life. This show is POWERFUL. Netflix would be stupid to let this gem fall away.

Im drunk and then i realized i require 600 characters to post a review on IMDB... so let me reiterate. If you are looking for a compelling, character driven adventure... this is it. Absolutely Humanizing.

If this whole show would have been about Georgia it would most likely be a 10/10. Street smart and outwitting them all. She has such depth to her character, which ginny, the lead, is missing entirely.

This show has a very entertaining cast. The teenage characters are pretty realistic and have good chemistry, especially the four girls-it reminds me a lot of being young and having fun with my girlfriends. I could do with less sexualization of teenagers, but understand the show is being realistic about the lives of teens.

Georgia is a great character too as she is complex and interesting.

This show is like a mix of Mean Girls, Degrassi, Gilmore Girls and then something more mysterious too.

Overall I liked the show. However, I found Ginny to be incredibly annoying with her spoiled and privileged behaviour. She is downright rude to her friends and mom. Her character has a lot of maturing to do.
