Ginny & Georgia In The Media

Ginny & Georgia Is So, So Much. Truly, So Much.

Quote

... It’s an uneven and over-long show that shambles toward the last episode in fits and starts. And yet, if you ignore the large-scale structural problems and the question of why this tower of nachos had to be built in a can so big with so many different cheeses, Ginny & Georgia offers plenty of narrative threads to pull you along through the season.

How embarrassing lol. It was a pretty bad, dated joke though.

A tweet from Taylor Swift - albeit a grumpy one - is probably the best PR that show has had. A lot of people in her fanclub need to wise up and get a life and realise they are not in the army and not everything is a call to carms. If they tweeted an averlange of witty alternative jokes @Netflix and the showrunners, that would've been the smarter route.

The male alternative to that joke would be a quib about John Mayer. So yeah, 2010 called 😄

‘Tiger King’ Stands In The Way Of ‘Ginny & Georgia’ Breaking This Netflix Record

Quote

... And soon, Ginny & Georgia could very well reach a height matched by no other show in the history of Netflix.

That feat? Well, today marks the 23rd consecutive day that Ginny & Georgia has owned the #1 spot on Netflix’s Top 10 charts. That’s a better streak than several of the streaming network’s biggest shows, including Ratched (which had a streak of 15 days at one point), The Umbrella Academy (also 15 days) and 13 Reasons Why (14 days).

In fact, Ginny & Georgia just passed The Queen’s Gambit, which had owned the second-longest streak ever (22 days) since November 2020. Which means now only one show stands between Ginny & Georgia and ownership of the record.

The current record belongs to Tiger King, which reached a streak of 27 days back in March and April of 2020. At the time, the idea that any show would ever be able to match that kind of streak seemed unthinkable. And as time has passed, none of Netflix’s biggest shows have come even close to nearing that 27-day mark.

As much as Netflix obfuscates their real “ratings”, I think it’s safe to say we’re getting a season 2.

‘Ginny & Georgia’ Renewed For Season 2

Quote

The show has been a strong performer since it launched on February, regularly appearing in its top ten most-watched series. Netflix revealed that the first season was watched by 52M subscribers in its first 28 days with particularly strong performance in the U.S., Australia, Brazil and Kenya.

As we've been discussing, it will be interesting to see if they soften/retcon Georgia's crimes a bit.

[ShortyMac]

Very happy this was renewed. 

[kieyra]

I guess I really have to finish that fanfic now. 

[scarynikki12]

Yay! Bring on the (assumed) retcons!

[kieyra]

Holy crap, just caught the '52 million viewers' stat. I mean, I know Netflix's metrics are ... opaque at best. But had a feeling when it stayed in top ten for so long. If we even trust their top ten. 

Season Two: Anticipation and Speculation - thread exists now. 

[paulvdb]

Season 2 premieres on January 5.

[peachmangosteen]

This looks great. I'm excited!

[Ms Blue Jay]

I really like Brianne Howey, so I tried to watch this British sitcom she was in "I live with models".  I watched the pilot.  It was sooooooo bad lol.

[Ms Blue Jay]

If you're interested, Brianne and Antonia are making the media rounds to promote season 2.  Brianne was on The View, Brianne and Antonia were on Seth Meyers.

Renewed for Season 3 and 4

I wonder if the new showrunner will mean a noticeable change in tone or content for the show.
