Out of the two Ginny & Georgia seasons, season two was definitely worth the wait. It was an emotional roller coaster throughout all the episodes and left you on the edge of your seat wanting more. 

At the end of season one, Ginny (Antonia Gentry) finds out the horrific fact that her dead step-father was most likely poisoned by her mother Georgia Miller (Brianne Howey) with wolfsbane, a plant that mimics a heart attack. With that stuck in her mind, Ginny decides to run away with her brother, Austin, by stealing Marcus’s (Felix Mallard) motorcycle. 

This new season quickly follows up after the events in the season one finale. In season two Ginny and Austin have been living at Zion’s (Nathan Mitchell) house – Ginny’s biological dad – for two weeks during thanksgiving. All while Ginny is trying to give herself space from her mother Georgia. Throughout, she seeks therapy as she tries navigating the life of having a new boyfriend, losing her best friends, her mother’s dark past, and panic attacks. 

Half way through the Ginny and Georgia Christmas special, Gil (Aaron Ashmore) made a surprising appearance in Wellsbury. Eventhough Austin was excited to see his dad, Gil and Georgia were very icy towards each other. 

His appearance took me back because he was very violent towards Georgia when he was younger. 

The first season primarily focuses on Georgia’s past and how the family is adjusting to the new town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts. Season two however is very action-packed and eventful compared to the first, but discusses many clashing and controversial topics, which causes the show to be slightly congested. 

The show does a great job of capturing the reality of depression and anxiety, as many people don’t know what it’s like and how much it impacts your life and relationships. 

The complexity of the characters and the plot twists are what makes this show worth your while.

The acting and writing could be better but overall it was very entertaining and kept me hooked throughout. I would give this season an 8/10. 

I can’t wait to see where this show goes next.
