S03.E10: Monsters

Quote

With Georgia's freedom on the line, the trial reaches a dramatic conclusion. Ginny takes a page from her mom's playbook.

Season finale. Premiere date: June 5, 2025

[NeenerNeener]

Well, we know what Season 4 will be all about. And it shouldn't take long to figure out who is responsible since there are only two options.

 

ETA: Zion, Ginny is close enough to 18 that going to court for joint custody is a waste of money. The court would leave it up to her anyway.

I found Max annoying in the past, but I liked her more this season. They showed her growth and made her more sympathetic, and I actually felt bad for her by the end of the season.

I wonder if Georgia will run for office.

Do you mean the drilling? I assumed Georgia hired them to do that, to defeat the Amendment and protect the small businesses.

No, the pregnancy. Ginny said Georgia only drinks milk when she's pregnant. Since she had sexy fun times with both Joe and Paul she won't know for sure whose baby right away unless she has some DNA testing done for one of them. Unless she's having twins and it's one of each....but that may be stretching credulity even for this show.

Right! Of course! 

Do we know if the show has been renewed yet?

It was renewed for seasons 3 and 4 a year ago in May. That doesn't always mean anything, though, if Netflix has cash flow problems.

I'm kind of impressed with what Ginny did to get Georgia off the hook. Poor Austin, though. It will be a miracle if he doesn't turn into a serial killer, or at least an addict of some sort.

Bored with another pregnancy possibility. Practice what you preach, Georgia! It's also dumb (if sadly realistic) that no one is thinking about STIs. Condoms don't just prevent conception.

I know I should feel sorry for Max, but aside from the Marcus situation, I don't. Just because she wants to talk everything through exhaustively doesn't mean everyone else does, or should have to. It's been a theme simmering in the background since the first season, so it was interesting to see it come to a head in this one.

I think I enjoyed the season.

I'm still not sure how I feel about Georgia & Joe. I might like them but I'm not sure.

Kind of sucks Georgia & Paul fell apart so quickly it seemed like he kind of got who she was before but I guess multiple murders can be shocking lol.

I felt bad for Max. She has to be dramatic because no one ever pays attention to her if she isn't. Yea she is annoying at times but it's always about sad depressed Marcus in her family.

Sorry I know Marcus is depressed but I'm kind of over him right now. I want Ginny to date someone else but someone better then weird Wolfe.

Ginny seemed cold as hell with Max.

I hope next season isn't them dragging out who the dad is the whole season. I think there's like maybe a 1% chance it's Paul's. If that. Pregnancy storyline are kind of lame too so we will see I guess.

I'll like them better together if she can convince him to manscape his back area below the his belt. And maybe above his belt too. 

That's the problem with having a large tv...sometimes you see things you can't unsee.

I thought Max was right on when she called Sophie out on breaking her heart and giving her mixed signals, and ditto when she broke up with the new girlfriend for being superficial and downplaying Marcus's alcoholism. I thought that was actually real growth, because instead of pining and clinging, she realized she could expect more and not be stuck in an emotional quicksand. I was cheering!

(I've stayed friends with exes, I don't think that's always impossible, but I did think Sophie ws jerking her around).

I also felt for her when the friends she'd been bonded with since a very early age basically froze her out. I don't think she was wrong to want to understand what happened. They don't have to tell her, they don't have to be her friends at all, but after that many years of being close, I think it's a bad look for them to not even try to explain when she's ready to listen. I think relationships get better when people air their stuff instead of just putting up a wall.

And Ginny was SUPER cold to her, which was weird. If it had been happening ever since the huge meltdown bullshit about Ginny dating Marcus, I'd understand. But they seemed to have gotten past that, and Max just helped her get past the reporters to see her mom, so why is she now freezing her out?

I get that Max is a lot of work-- I don't think I would have stayed friends with her after some of her previous antics. But since they DID stay friends, to me it makes sense to have it out, tell her what's going on, and hold her accountable, and not suddenly get sick of her when she's actually behaving a lot better. They can have boundaries. But I understood why Max was confused, and hurt, and sad, and surprised.

I agree with you.  I don’t understand why they’re all being so cold to Max. Now that Ginny has Marcus back, it seems like that’s all that matters. This girl is saying that she needs to talk, and they’re all blowing her off.

Right? Almost every show that I watch people just have sex with multiple partners and don't give one minute of care about STI. Gone are the days of safe sex. 

I can't stand Ginny. Never really got into the character, never really felt for her because I thought the part was badly written, all over the place. One moment she is this needy, went through a lot girl who is the reason in the family, then she is this brat who defies everyone, now she is a sociopath who manipulates her little brother in order to get what she wants. The little brother she says she loves. If a teenager goes through all that she went is able to do what she did and get away with it, apparently having no remorse, that's a true sociopath.

If there is a fourth season I guess the roles will reverse, with Ginny being the psychopath.

Poor Austin. The pawn in the family. Also, the questioning in the court was absurd. The kid is supposed to be 10. That's not how you question a kid, maybe the court would even be emptied, his privacy protected, his name not available. He would have been asked if he understands what a lie is. The actor is a teen, the character is a young child. 

I also felt for Max. The one character tha had some growth and the one character that shoes empathy and loyalty to friends, even if to a fault. Just to show how much of the character are just terrible people. Even Joe, knowing all he knows, still smitten with her teenage crush. 

 

Does anyone know who wrote this series> The way the characters are written, I will speculate that the author is high on the sociopathic scale.

Can someone explain what Georgia was doing with the neighbour guy this whole season?  Was that all just so Paul would think other people on the block had problems?  I was clueless as to what she was doing all year up to and including the finale.

I forgot how much I used to hate Ginny until that moment when it all came back.  Everyone on Twitter is pointing out that Max is the only one of "MANG" that supported Ginny/Georgia this whole trial and look who Ginny freezes out.  She's just so damn smug.

I think a major problem with this show is that the actor who plays Max is so much better than the actor who plays Ginny, and so much more likeable and charismatic.  

I've been complaining since day 1 that this entire show is just that entire town asking Ginny "Are you okay?" one by one, every day, until the end of time, and as you can see, the writing has not progressed from there.

[Slade347]

I just think Georgia was bored, being stuck in the house all day and she saw the neighbor guy and his fashion/romantic issues as a project she could work on. 

As for Ginny, they really have turned her into her mother's daughter. We'll probably even see more of that during next season. And yeah, that conversation she had with Max was just brutal.

Speaking of Max, I was kinda expecting her to take off on Marcus' bike.

I enjoyed that running joke, and when Georgia told him at Lawnfest (or whatever it was called) that she loved his blue shirt, I laughed out loud.

[MBJ]

Thanks for explaining about the neighbour - but then what was that fight at the end they were witnessing?  Couldn't catch that.

It reminded me of the movie Disturbia, where a teenage boy was on house arrest, after hitting his teacher? After his dad died, too. He had binoculars, and after his mum cut the cord on his music, and TV, he was watching people in the neighbourhood.

That was a different couple. The guy was cheating on his wife, and she saw them go into his home, when the wife was out. So, she pretended to be the security company that they use for their home, called the wife at work, and told her that something was amiss at home. A window had been opened. The wife found him with his mistress, and that's who was being chased down the street.

Based on "Rear Window" by Alfred Hitchcock.  There's so many movies and TV shows that seem to play on this theme.
