Ginny & Georgia Season 3 Review: Created by Sarah Lampert, Netflix brings back the emotional rollercoaster we’ve grown so used to receiving from the series. This season has 10 episodes full of drama, comedy, dark humour and heavy family moments. Starring Brianne Howey as confident and complex Georgia Miller and Antonia Gentry as her introspective, clumsy daughter Ginny, the show builds again and again on the complicated layers of their relationship. Starring alongside them in the cast are Felix Mallard, Sara Waisglass, Katie Douglas, Chelsea Clark, Diesel La Torraca, Scott Porter, Raymond Ablack, Nathan Mitchell and others.
The Ginny & Georgia series is a survival story, and the struggle of trying to get an unhappy mom and an anguished daughter to the non-too-happy middle ground, and it is about how the past dictates the present—or tries to, at least—for one family. Season 2 concluded with Georgia arrested at her wedding, and now Season 3 has Georgia under house arrest, but no less confident or outspoken. In the meantime, Ginny has to deal with the emotional fallout of being the daughter of a suspect in a crime, and that’s when the sparks begin to fly.
Ginny & Georgia Season 3 Review
One of the main reasons I loved Netflix Ginny & Georgia Season 3 so much is the tour-de-force performance by Brianne Howey. Her performance as Georgia, trying to be a good mom and still be an absolutely imperfect person, is also scrappy and heartbreakingly good. Some of the scenes this season were actually award-calibre, especially those where Georgia is desperately trying to hold everything together as the world falls apart around her.
And Ginny, who is played by Antonia Gentry, is terrific, too, particularly in the quieter, more emotional scenes. Her process of learning who she is, separate from who her mom was, is handled with such sensitivity. The relationship between Brianne and Antonia is just so natural and authentic—it feels like you’re actually seeing a mom and a daughter go through all sorts of highs and lows.
Let me say it like this that the central narrative is very hard to look away from. Every time the show centred around Ginny, Georgia, Paul or Gil, I was totally invested. Courtroom vignettes, psychic breakdowns, or just being sarcastic, they all captivated me. The balance of comedy and tragedy seems more finely tuned this season. It also delves into mental illness, parenting and identity in a more mature, introspective manner.
One moment that really caught me was when Ginny and Georgia sit and watch a cheesy TV reenactment of their lives — witty, clever, sort of a relief from the seriousness. I like it when shows can have a bit of fun at their own expense, so it was pleasant to see that edge cut off.
While not all was so wonderful in Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia Season 3. Some of the supporting subplots, particularly the ones involving characters like Maxine and Abby, were unnecessary. I understand that we had to make room for what other teens are doing in the show, but a lot of their love-life drama went on and on and never amounted to anything. These supporting storylines took away from the way way stronger main story and, at times, I found myself skipping over them or eagerly waiting for the show to get back to Ginny and Georgia.

What’s most fascinating about it is the way it toys with what makes a good parent — and what opinion we have about what type of parent to model — as plot devices in Ginny & Georgia Season 3. Georgia is hardly a saint — she’s made some questionable decisions along the way — but what she does, she does because she loves her kids. Ginny, however, is starting to question if she wants to model herself after her mother. This season has taught us that parenting isn’t black and white. Doing the right thing can sometimes be painful, and it is in this grey area that the show shines.
I especially enjoyed the way this season shifted its emphasis from grand social issues to more intimate ones. Not that the issues of the past, like racism, weren’t relevant, but Season 3 is more personal, and it is more accessible as a result.
Netflix Ginny & Georgia Season 3 Review: Summing Up
I’m not going to ruin it for you, so I’ll just leave it at the fact that the Ginny & Georgia Season 3 finale is brazen and shocking. It flips power dramatically between a couple of characters, namely Georgia, Ginny and Austin. One of the big reveals sees Ginny doing whatever it takes to defend her family, and it’s to the extent that even Georgia is left reeling. For Season 4, which thankfully has already been commissioned by Netflix, this twist actually sets a lot of things up.
So here’s my final thought. Ginny & Georgia Season 3 is a rollercoaster, but I enjoyed it for the most part. The central romance is sentimental and moving; the lead performances are superb; and the ideas are true to life and recognisable. Yes, the ancillary stories were a little anaemic and some of the scenes redundant, but they detracted nothing from the first-rate storytelling at its core.
Ginny & Georgia Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix.
