“Ginny & Georgia” Season 3 strengthens what makes the dramedy genre soar while remaining true to the elements that make the mother-daughter duo such fascinating characters to watch.

Thanks to the expertly crafted plots that jump from breezy high school scenes to courtroom drama to uncomfortable and even threatening flashbacks, Ginny & Georgia makes murder fun. Well, I mean, not fun, but…no, actually, I do mean fun.

It’s the perfect example of the Netflix formula: soapy, cheesy fun led by unbelievably good-looking actors. It’s not The Sopranos. It’s not even Gilmore Girls. It’s just shiny, addictive escapism.

Ginny and Georgia has always flip-flopped between soapy drama and teen comedy while also trying to be a morality tale of good vs bad. This violent swing continues throughout season three.

You can’t fault the performers, as they’re doing the best they can with the material — and often elevating it — but sadly, the acting isn’t enough to save it.

To the show’s credit, Ginny & Georgia has increasingly given more care and consideration to its various youngsters. .... Far less convincing, though, is the Georgia portion of the proceedings (no matter how many flashbacks or moody voiceovers are inserted in an effort to explain the mom’s genuinely perplexing and damn near pathological antics).

Having a more tightly defined story should make for a refreshing change of pace, but, despite glimmers of promise in the show’s YA side, it remains woefully overstuffed.
