Should They Have Ended Ginny & Georgia at Season 3? Some of Us Think So

Let’s just say it: Ginny & Georgia should’ve ended with Season 3.
Sure, Netflix loves a hit, and fans love a binge-worthy mess, but sometimes it’s better to let a story go out with a bang rather than drag it out into emotionally confusing, morally grey sludge. And that’s exactly where Ginny & Georgia Season 3 leaves us.
Georgia’s whole “cool mom with a dark past” thing? It was compelling once. But now? Exhausting. Watching her dodge consequence after consequence has lost all charm. In fact, by the end of Season 3, Georgia isn’t even a lovable anti-hero anymore, she’s just… unbearable. Controlling, manipulative, and constantly justifying her worst choices as if she’s some misunderstood martyr. At this point, even the murder she committed doesn’t feel shocking, it’s just one more thing she gaslights her way through. A term she’s learnt from her brainy daughter Ginny.
And about that redemption arc? She didn’t earn it. She doesn’t deserve it.
Georgia finally getting arrested at the end of Ginny & Georgia Season 2 felt like the perfect narrative peak. It was justice, for her many crimes, yes, but also a way to finally shift focus to other characters. Instead, Season 3 hits the brakes and rewinds everything. She’s released, forgiven, re-loved, and back to playing housewife like nothing happened. Meanwhile, Ginny is stuck cleaning up emotional messes and trying to grow… but it’s hard to root for her evolution when her mother keeps sucking all the air out of the room.
And don’t get us started on the pacing. What could’ve been wrapped up in 6 tight episodes gets stretched into 10, with far too many side plots that go nowhere. Paul’s still there but barely matters and OMG what a mess he is reduced too. He definitely didn’t deserve the shoddy treatment from Georgia and yet somehow powers through most of it. Tsk, tsk. Joe, who once seemed like a possible love interest and moral counterpoint, is now reduced to confused stares.
And what was that cliffhanger at the end of ‘Ginny & Georgia’ season 3? That Georgia might be pregnant again? But we can already see the drama, since the first confusion and suspense in a season 4 will be all about ‘who is the father?!’. Because we all know it could either be Mayor Paul, or of-course Joe. But it’s really not enough to justify a whole new season!
The truth is, Ginny & Georgia was at its best when it wasn’t trying so hard to redeem Georgia. When the show leaned into the chaos, the dark comedy, the generational tension, it worked. But by Season 3, it’s just trying too hard to make us believe Georgia’s a misunderstood woman doing her best. She’s not. She’s a manipulator who dodged prison (again), lied to her kids, and emotionally wrecked everyone around her.
So maybe it’s time to close the chapter. Let Ginny grow up. Let Austin get therapy. And let Georgia stay in jail – where, honestly, the story should’ve ended.
