We all need some low-stakes escapism every now and again, and one supremely addictive show<\/a> promises to provide exactly that as it returns for its third season this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Netflix<\/a> sitcom Ginny & Georgia<\/a> follows the titular mother and daughter duo (played by Antonia Gentry and Brianne Howey) who we meet when they\u2019re putting down roots and trying to start afresh in a suburban Massachusetts town \u2013 before things take a rather dark turn, and it\u2019s revealed this family has some skeletons in the closet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Critics and audiences alike have pretty much all been in agreement over the first two seasons that it\u2019s a sensational watch, even if for… well… not the usual<\/em> reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, the popularity of the show speaks for itself, with family comedy-drama <\/span>overtaking Tiger King back in 2021<\/span><\/a> for the longest consecutive time spent in Netflix\u2019s top spot at 28 days, which it still holds to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Not only that, but it also ranks among the most-watched Netflix shows of all time, with season two currently sitting at position 17 in the top 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Many critics have compared the show to another much-loved mother-daughter series, with <\/span>iNews\u2019<\/span><\/a> review of season three branding Ginny & Georgia \u201cGilmore Girls<\/a> on steroids\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n CBS Photo Archive via Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n There is, after all, even a line in episode one where mum Georgia tells her teen daughter that they\u2019re \u201c<\/span>like the Gilmore girls, but with bigger boobs\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n iNews\u2019 critic even admitted the show had become their \u201cfavourite hate watch\u201d, echoing what <\/span>The Guardian<\/span><\/a> said after the season one premiere, asserting that \u201csuch perfect trash deserves a special award\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Vox<\/span><\/a> also claimed that Ginny & Georgia was \u201cso much more than a Gilmore Girls rip-off\u201d, adding: \u201c<\/span>It is not a perfect show, but it\u2019s a lovable and endlessly watchable one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n This sentiment continued with season two\u2019s arrival, with <\/span>The Independent<\/span><\/a>\u2019s critic asking why they \u201ccan\u2019t stop watching one of Netflix\u2019s most cringey, awkward shows\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As season three arrives on the streamer this week, the <\/span>Telegraph<\/span><\/a> has already described the new season as \u201ca perfect example of the addictive Netflix formula\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n So, with 10 new episodes out now and 20 more before that, now is the perfect time to jump in from the beginning. It\u2019s up to you to decide if it\u2019s storytelling genius, or just binge-able comfort TV.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Alexis](\"https:\/\/img.huffingtonpost.com\/asset\/67dd7d3c160000210088379c.jpeg?cache=pME2lTD4qF&ops=scalefit_720_noupscale&format=webp\"\/)
