Ginny & Georgia Season 3 Review: The Chaotic Story of the Mayoress Murderess

The town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts, hasn’t known peace since the Miller family and all their secrets arrived. Ginny & Georgia Season 3 picks up right where Season 2 ends, with Georgia under arrest for murder.

As the trial unfolds, her past is dragged into the spotlight, and she’s labeled a serial killer — a description that, to be honest, fits. If this were an isolated incident, maybe it would be easier to defend her, but she’s responsible for the deaths of three people.

The case against her is so strong that it feels like this should be the final season (spoiler: it’s not), because realistically, there’s no way she wouldn’t be found guilty. But that’s the magic of television — outcomes don’t have to be realistic.

After a gripping first episode, expectations for Ginny & Georgia Season 3 run high, but the plot quickly becomes repetitive, slow, and overly chaotic as it juggles far too many storylines at once.

With Ginny and Georgia being the central focus of the past two seasons, it’s a surprise when, at the peak of their drama, the spotlight shifts to side characters like Max, Abby, and Marcus.

It almost feels like a distraction from Georgia’s storyline, which is unnecessarily drawn out. These aren’t new characters, but we’re seeing entirely new sides of them this season.

On one hand, it’s refreshing to learn more about the people in Ginny’s world, but it’s also a bit jarring that the show chooses its most chaotic season yet to suddenly dive into their stories.

This season leans heavily into themes of mental health and the importance of acknowledging when you need help. So it’s no surprise that these three newly spotlighted characters are all struggling in their own ways.

Max deals with ADHD and the pressure to always appear happy and understood; Abby is battling bulimia, denial, and confusion about her sexuality; and Marcus is facing depression and alcoholism at an alarmingly young age.

Naturally, in true drama fashion, none of them are ready to open up about their problems. While this can feel frustrating, it also allows the show to portray mental health in a raw, honest, and relatable way that resonates.

Back to Georgia’s trial — this really feels like the beginning of the end for her. It’s a bit disappointing, though, that it doesn’t hit as hard or grab attention the way the show’s powerful mental health themes do.

This season is overwhelmingly heavy and, at times, incredibly difficult to watch — not just because of its honest portrayal of silent struggles, but also because it’s exhausting to sit through Georgia’s constant delusion.

Defending Georgia is no easy task, and Ginny & Georgia Season 3 makes that painfully clear. But the most frustrating part is how deeply she believes she’s the victim in all of this.

Killing an ex-husband for molesting her daughter is something I can understand; her motive is clear. But her other kills are a different story. 

At some point, it stops looking like self-defense and starts to resemble a disturbing pattern.

What’s even more shocking is how little remorse she shows. She justifies everything by saying it’s for Ginny and Austin, when in reality, most of it serves her own sense of peace and control.

The constant gaslighting and the relentless whining about how she doesn’t deserve jail time are grating, and it turns Georgia into an unlikable character.

Sure, she has her redeeming moments, but the majority of this season is one long “woe is me” performance, even though she’s the one who put herself in this situation by constantly making selfish choices.

By Ginny & Georgia Season 3 Episode 10, “Monsters,” it’s easy to genuinely hope she gets found guilty.

Overall, while the show continues to be hilarious and genuinely committed to highlighting the importance of mental health, Ginny & Georgia Season 3 is a letdown.

The heart of the series — its sharp writing and emotional resonance — is still there, but this season struggles under the weight of too many plotlines.

With an increased focus on side characters, the core narrative gets lost in the shuffle. As a result, there’s minimal character development for the leads, making it harder to connect with their arcs in a meaningful way.

That said, the performances across the board remain exceptional. The cast pours everything into their roles, and none more so than Brianne Howey as Georgia.

Her portrayal is gripping. It’s so layered and emotionally raw that it’s easy to forget you’re watching an actress and not a real person unraveling on screen. Georgia’s complexities and contradictions are brought to life so vividly that you find yourself deeply invested in her every move.

Ginny and Austin also continue to shine, especially in how they interact with each other and those around them. Their chemistry, both with each other and with Georgia, creates a believable and compelling family dynamic that pulls you into their world.

It feels like you’re right there in town with them, witnessing their struggles and triumphs as if they were real people.

What’s also exciting is the potential this cast brings to the future of the series. Many of the actors are relatively young and early in their careers, yet they’re already delivering such powerful performances.

It gives you real hope not only for what lies ahead in their journeys, but also for what this show can continue to evolve into.

If future seasons can refocus and tighten the storytelling, there’s still so much potential for this series to reach new emotional heights.
