Okay, this was hands down the best season of Ginny & Georgia. I was NOT expecting this at all.
Season 2 ended with Georgia getting arrested at her wedding (chaos queen behaviour tbh), and Season 3 picks up right after, with Georgia trying to make her way out of this whole mess while her kids, Ginny and Austin, deal with the fallout.
And let me just say, I went in with very low expectations (because let’s be real, Seasons 1 and 2 were kinda cringe), but I ended up bawling like a baby.
Let’s start with Marcus, my favourite character in the entire show. His storyline this season?? So emo, so raw, so painful. That scene where he says he hates himself and completely breaks down? Ughhh, the tears. Like I felt that. I just wanted to reach through the screen and give him a hug.
And Ellen (his mum) trying so hard but still not really understanding him. It just shows how helpless even parents can feel sometimes. It was all too real.
Maxine deserved better. Her friends treated her like absolute trash for no reason. She’s loud and a lot sometimes, yes, but she’s also fiercely loyal and always looking out for people. And what does she get in return? Nothing.
That convo she had with Ginny in the last episode – WTF. Ginny telling her, “We outgrow each other,” like what? Sorry, you didn’t outgrow Norah (who was actually the worst at the beginning of this season) or Abby, but you outgrew Max?? Make it make sense.
Both Marcus and Max’s anxiety, overthinking, depression – I weirdly related to both. That scene where Max said she feels the same way as Marcus, but is just better at hiding it? OUCH.
Georgia stayed an icon, obviously. Unhinged but iconic. I’m so curious to know who her baby daddy will be next season – Paul or Joe?
Also, who do y’all ship Georgia with? For me, it’s not Paul. Zion’s sweet and reliable now, but I think I am Team Joe. He just gets her. No judgment!
And that courtroom twist with Austin??? OMG. I was gagged. But also, that poor child; he’s gonna be so messed up when he’s older. The amount of trauma he’s already carrying? Insane.
We need more of Austin’s perspective next season. It always feels like Ginny takes centre stage while Austin’s story gets sidelined. Give him some screen time!
Abby’s storyline is another one that deserves way more attention. Her family situation, her body image issues, her queerness; there’s so much to explore, and they’ve barely scratched the surface.
I was a little nervous when she and Marcus had scenes together, and was hoping the writers wouldn’t pull some weird romantic plotline. Their dynamic works perfectly as just platonic friends. Don’t ruin that.
Let’s talk about Marcus and Ginny, though – the most beautifully messy ship. The yearning, the pining, the love, but also the awareness that they’re both not okay and maybe not good for each other right now??? I was dying! And that “Sunshine” poem Ginny wrote for Marcus?? Straight up sobbing. It was perfect.
Lastly, Wolfe (aka Poetry Guy). I didn’t hate him?? He was kind of sweet, low-key, like a more extroverted Marcus. But that teen pregnancy plotline? Yeah, shows really need to stop throwing that around. When he said “that’s wild” in response to Ginny being pregnant?? I was screaming. So unserious.
Final thoughts: Binged the whole season in one day. Cried multiple times. Laughed. Yelled. Felt things. I can’t believe Ginny & Georgia pulled off a season this good after the chaos of the first two. Now I’m fully invested and need Season 4 ASAP.
Maxine redemption arc please. Austin POV. Marcus’ healing journey. Joe + Georgia endgame. Let’s goooo.
