I really liked this review and your critiques, it was different than a lot of other reviews I’ve seen of the show and that was refreshing. I also thought it was weird that Ginny did all those things with Marcus so fast within the first two days of moving to a new town, but I read an interesting post online that attributed that impulsive behavior to a coping mechanism borne out of trauma. It was a way for Ginny to regain control over her sexuality and bodily autonomy after her creepy stepdad touched her. Idk if that’s what the writers were intending, but I think Ginny’s romantic relationships make more sense when viewing them from that perspective. Otherwise the only explanation is that she’s a teenager ruled by hormones and they’re trying to show how she’s similar to her mom. But I think all of those explanations can exist at once.

That’s immediately what I took it as. When I was younger I had a ton of grooming experiences with men and my way of getting that out was to full fledge embrace my sexuality in some questionable ways that I thought made sense at the time. She’s trying to reclaim her body and grasp onto anything that can make her feel like she has control again, even if it comes with unintentionally hurting some people in the process, as it’s the only way she knows to feel complete or empowered. She’s a kid acting from trauma and bad coping mechanisms, the logical “what if I get pregnant and turn into my mom” thought isn’t in her head at all.

Let Georgia tell u those things when she's ready and comfortable.

@@AddelleCherubLate reply because my notifications were acting up. But Ginny literally called him racial slurs and was racist towards him first, the only reason Hunter was racist towards Ginny was because she needed a reality check of her behaviour towards others. Was it the right moment for that? No but then again, they are teens and act on emotions like these much faster then thinking rationally so its not completely out of nowhere. Also "days without talking thats technically a break-up" is not valid. Its not a full on break-up so untill the both have communicated that they are officially done, not to mention she still acted like she did nothing wrong and that Hunter had no right to be mad at her for sleeping with Marcus.

Am I the only one who noticed how toxic MANG was? They didn’t even seem like real friends just some people to hang out if they were bored. They didn’t stick up for each other or help one another. For me one of the scenes that really made me realize how toxic they were was when Abby was sad her parents were getting a divorce and no one was there for her at all. And then Ginny was like ‘I was having problems with family too’ which is true but, then she said ‘don’t make everything about you’ after she, Max and Nora ignored her (Abby) for a whole week? Abby isn’t perfect by any means and can be really rude but, at least she doesn’t blame everyone for things out of their control. She’s mad her only “friends” couldn’t talk to her for a whole week when she was going through something. Then, the worst part is after Abby slaps Ginny everything seems like a joke? They are all going through things and they just laugh it off even though they are dealing with serious topics. I don’t know if they did this so the show wouldn’t seem so serious and they wanted it to be more lighthearted but this makes MANG seem really toxic. I’m so tired of teenagers with y/n “I’m not like other girls” personality. (Also anyone notice how Abby was the only one who thought that the party Georgia had for Ginny was nice because her parents don’t pay attention to her? Georgia has done plenty of things good and bad but at least she has a reason.)

The racist people are kind of caricaturist and the scenarios make no sense( in what hs is a room of one’s own on the reading syllabus?

She looked good and who doesn’t love Britney?, etc) but I definitely have known biracial people like Ginny who seem super militant about pro blackness despite choosing to be a token and the fact that their experiences do not reflect the ire they have for the world. Like I’m clearly black and I have not had many overt racist attacks certainly not enough to propel me to stand up to a non politically correct teacher who responsible for my grade and like get on his case about a syllabus that he didn’t even curate.

As a multiracial teen, I actually think that Ginny (and Hunters) storyline started off realistic, however, Ginny’s self-hatred got to a point where it went past racial insecurity and into paranoia about everyone being racist towards her. I personally think that her hanging out with mostly white people was realistic; she chose a group and stuck with it, but the whole argument with Hunter was just… a mess and her whole storyline with the black girl was weird because I don’t get why she wouldn’t just be friends with her from the beginning ( + the whole Britney Spears comment was just sooo randomly thrown in there). How Hunter handled Ginny’s whole freak out about losing the competition was actually my one and only favorite moment of his, but him and Georgia were really the only characters that realistically represented race struggles in my opinion. I wish they would have consulted or hired a biracial writer to help them out with race and Ginny’s whole character because she made me want to turn off the tv every damn scene.

I'm half black and something that made me want to scream was whenever Ginny would sort of dismiss the invitations from other black characters while in the same breath complaining about not fitting in. And I actually really like Ginny. She definitely needs work and has some major problems but for majority of her actions I could kind of empathize with her. I think a lot of people dismissed her trauma because they loved Georgia so much and because they just didn't like Ginny which is unfair. Neither one of them had a particularly great childhood. I think people were much more willing to give grace towards Georgia while expecting Ginny to be perfect. But I think a decent amount of the criticism towards Ginny is understandable. One of my biggest issues with the viewer reaction was how everyone has been treating Hunter. I feel like besides being cringy at times, he literally did nothing wrong. I truly believe that if people found him more attractive, people would have liked him. Marcus was the creepy one if you want to be honest. This man just barged in her room countless times without asking. People only liked him because he's attractive. But overall, I actually really enjoyed the show and am really excited for season two.

I agree with the Hunter point. Marcus reminds me of Jess from Gilmore Girls -- very moody and push-and-pull, yet people still like him because he's attractive. Media often conditions audiences to find toxic behaviour "hot". Ginny and Marcus had obvious chemistry, but that's not a sole reason for people to enter a relationship. Though if I'm being honest, she and Hunter also lacked chemistry and a good dynamic. Regardless, he was a much kinder person than Marcus and seemed to really care about Ginny. People hate on him way too much. I sort of wish Ginny had ended up single in the end. I think it would have been an interesting "plot twist" of sorts and I think neither of the guys were really "right for her".

Something that really annoyed me throughout the show was how ginny finds everything racist. Granted, there were a few times where ppl treated her differently due to her race but a lot of the time she hid behind it as an excuse. Like that time she was supposed to write a speech for her english class and she came with her slam poetry type thing...she didnt win cuz she didnt do wat was asked, not cuz shes black. Then she goes and points fingers at her teacher...the whole racism thing seemed very forced, and while it is an issue that needs to have light shed on it, the way this show did it was at times very distasteful and took away from wat big of a problem racism actually is.

Personally, I only watched the few episodes of the show that I did for Georgia, and I think she is by far the best character. However, Ginny totally ruined the show for me, so I'm going to vent about how much I dislike her. BTW, I am not trying to send hate to Antonia Gentry, and I totally understand if you disagree with me; this is just my opinion. 1. She's so self centered. She constantly puts herself before everyone else and thinks everything revolves around her. The first episode I saw of Ginny and Georgia was the one with the "Oppression Olympics", and even though the said "Oppression Olympics" was the worst part of it by far, the way she treated Abby, who was going through her parents divorcing, cemented my hatred of her. Abby is literally falling apart and desperate for support from her vacant friends, and this girl has the nerve to say "Not everything is always about you" and call her a b**? What the hell? 2. She constantly disrespects her mom. Is Georgia always perfect? No, but she went through SO MUCH for her daughter and did so much to make her have a better life. She deserves so much respect, but no. She gets endless disrespect from Ginny, constant rants about how she's the "worst mom ever", and being told by her daughter "You just don't get it!" 500 billion times. JUSTICE FOR GEORGIA. 3. She exudes so much TikTok "main character energy" that it makes me itch. From the way she preforms her slam poetry to how she acts at the concert, it's just SO CRINGY and I hate it. However, I don't think the actress is bad at all, I really just think it's the character and the writing.
@TheBlushBunny3 жыл бұрын
I think your opinions are valid. I would like to add though, that way before Abby was dealing with her parents divorce, both she and Norah were pretty mean to Ginny. One of the first things they did was take her to a store to steal (something you could tell they did on the regular) and when Georgia showed up, they blamed it on Ginny saying they had no idea she would steal and that it was her that put them up to it. So the “friendship” started off rocky. Wasn’t all Ginny. But I definitely understand where you’re coming from.

*This comment might be long cause I needa to rant* BUT I don’t understand all the hype around Max at all she was the WORST character in my opinion. At least Ginny is struggling, Abby has body image issues, Hunter has a self-identity crisis, etc. Anyways my point is with all the other characters you can offer an explanation as to why they’re the way they are. Max literally has NO reason for her to be that selfish and entitled. All her problems are so first world and surface level yet she always thinks she deserves the most attention. She really got mad at Ginny, Abby, and Marcus in the season finale when they treated her WAY better than she’s EVER treated them. Like remember how Marcus was so caring to her when she was drunk yet she through him right under the bus when she told Ellen about him and Ginny or said nothing when he got punched by Hunter when he had a CONCUSSION? Idk there’s just so many other examples of her being incredibly self-involved that I don’t feel like listing . Overall she’s such a HORRIBLE friend and sister yet everyone gives her a pass and have no problems slandering the others like Ginny.

i feel like a really fundamental problem of the show is that, well, many of the characters (especially the teens) have HUGE flaws, that aren't acknowledged at all! don't get me wrong, they shouldn't be perfect people by any means, but those flaws are completely ignored, often even the show treats the behavior caused by them as ok. for example - Max flipping out at Ginny for sleeping with her brother, and Abby for not telling her. like i get that she's upset that her friend wasn't being honest with her but she was acting like she was brutally personally attacked, showing that she shares a flaw with ginny - making everything about herself. when the group pretty much ghosted Abby when she needed them the most, after she opened up about her struggles ginny accused her of being egocentric, instead of accepting that everyone has their own problems, and that she can't feel betrayed like abby does, because she didn't even reach out to anyone for help. Abby and Norah are more in the background, but I liked them very much. all of their flaws seem like they're added on purpose and the creators of the show are aware of them. apart from being kinda cringe hunter is meh, but some of the things he says during his argument with ginny are really disgusting and i can't look at him the same way after that. Marcus is really edgy, which i personally find annoying, but it's not like that's objectively bad. also as many people have already said, if he wasn't attractive his behavior would be considered creepy. I also felt like making him have a friend who dies of cancer (who isnt even named or acknowledged by anyone apart from Marcus) and have a car accident were supposed to artificially make people feel sympathetic towards him, and I didn't like that cuz it felt kinda forced. in the end i think that the storylines of the adults were much more interesting than the teens, but the latter stories aren't complete garbage, they're just kinda mediocre
@TheBlushBunny3 жыл бұрын
I think that’s pretty valid. Georgia’s storyline was the best of the show. As far as the teens, Max definitely overreacted about Ginny and Marcus. It just wasn’t that deep. Abby and Norah were terrible friends and a bit of a cliche but as far as their personal issues, I think the writers did a good job with the direction they are going in with them. Hunters character definitely could’ve been written better. He was a bit one dimensional. But as for Marcus, I actually think he had no edge. The “edge” was forced. Nothing about him was mysterious or dangerous or anything that qualifies. But I could just be missing it. Lol

In my opinion Ginny and Georgia just feels like another straight people, white washed, Riverdale-esc show. It’s somewhat annoying and panders to a certain audience that just screams basic and flavorless, and in a certain way it’s insensitive to not only the topic of racism and being biracial, but teenage sexuality and pregnancy. It kinda plays out like a poorly written Wattpad fan fiction and I honestly couldn’t stand it. However, I will say that the plot itself wasn’t so bad, it was just poorly executed and written. Personally wasn’t my favorite, and I genuinely feel as though the people behind the show could of done so much more storytelling wise and character wise (mainly with Ginny).

I actually can relate to Ginny about her relationship with her mother. I think a lot of people can’t really understand how is it truly feels like. It’s not that cool having a mom who act like “I’m a cool mother” Switching so fast a partner and watching how she cheats on her partner is really uncomfortable and can give a lot of trauma that can affect your life in the future. I noticed it after therapy that a lot of “small things” change your view on life. In the show you can see that she is doing very similar things as her mother as cheating, having sex with people she shouldn’t because they have a partner. Her mother does a lot of things for her but I think Ginnie needs more of emotional support because we see often how she acts towards her mother when she gives her that. Ginny is actually really alone with HER problems like struggling with depression, love life and having friends. I was molested too by my stepfather but I lived with him for a very long time and after this my whole life changed and my mother’s too. I don’t really like Ginny and I love how her mother’s character is written. But I really can understand why Ginny is ungrateful. I need to add that it’s hard to trust to a person who hides something and I was so angry at my mother when I find out that she started dating someone when she still didn’t finished things with my stepfather. Also I need too add that how Ginny look at racism is annoying as hell but I think that is necessary to show later her character development. Blaming others is kind of running away from your problems and I think it’s why she does that even without knowing. She is annoying but I can understand why

**SPOILERS** I watched this show a while back, and it was one of the better drama/coming of age shows I've watched. It had decent writing and it was entertaining enough to binge through fairly quick. The only real thing I wasn't fond of was how they wrote Ginny. My take on her was at first she was the new girl, shy and just feeling out her new town while trying to not get too attached since she may move away soon. But when she cheated on Hunter with Marcus and got caught she was upset at those who caught her not at her actions. She became a sort of self-centered person, maybe it was because of her bad choice in friends or her bad surroundings. She got upset with Max when Max figured out she was hooking up with her brother when it was her fault for not telling Max! And also closer to the end of the season Ginny started to be a bad friend and more focused on her guys (plural) than her best friend. This was when Max had just been broken up with by her gf, Ginny decides to go and make out with her brother as Max is upset. So yeah, Ginny was a complex character who I wanted to root for. Intentional or not, she went from nice to self-centered real quick.

I feel like the rising popularity of social movements has writers feeling like they can slap a social problem on a show or movie and have it be successful. Which is really frustrating because a lot of these topics actually have more depth and complexity than most when you explore them. Ginny is a poor man’s Kat Stratford starring in a badly stitched up mish-mash of tumblr posts, twitter quotes, and everybody clapped moments.

She spent so much money that she already didn’t have and put in time and effort to make Ginny bday special for her and she sneaks out to go drink with a bunch of white kids who don’t have her best interest at heart ( Abby literally posted the video of drunk ginny) and Georgia knew that but ginny is to stupid to see it
@angelicafranci69463 жыл бұрын
I think Ginny actually not making as big of an effort to socialise with the other black kids at her school makes a lot of sense. Being bi-racial myself and growing up in an all white neighbourhood, going to an all white school, being around predominantly white family members is pretty much all I knew. She probably felt too awkward to really try, she seems to lack in the cultural understanding of the black experience. Albeit, I hate that the show low-key made it look like the other black character was being kind of purposely isolating after the Britney thing, like no one would have that reaction lol. Also, I don’t know if this is a reach but, I felt uncomfortable when Georgia called the police on her black daughter. Now Ginny is bi-racial, yes, but she is very evidently black presenting and still a poc. I don’t think Georgia meant any genuine harm and was trying to teach her snarky daughter a lesson, but it just sort of reinstated this power and dominance that white parents can have over their black children, it’s quite unfortunate but I’ve heard a lot of stories of similar situations. I can only imagine how terrifying it must be to have to live with a violently racist parent (not referring to our Queen Georgia) and be hyper aware of how they’ll next punish you for something you do wrong.
@TheBlushBunny3 жыл бұрын
Valid points. Though I only viewed Georgia calling the police as her just being a parent teaching a lesson. The reason being is because I didn’t see micro-aggressions in her that would suggest otherwise. But like you said, unfortunately there are situations with white parents with black kids where you never know where it’s leading to.

As a biracial women, some of these experiences feel familiar to me. Not to say there are the representation of racism for all people of color, but particularly for biracial people, who can “walk the line” with our skin color, it is hard to know when something is racial motived towards us or just something we feel in our heads. Maybe that is exactly how the situation would have gone for a light skinned girl versus a complete different outcome for a dark skinned girl. And it is important to point out that in these situations, the lightness or darkness of our melanin determines how heavy our profiling will be.That is what makes colorism run deep inside and outside the black community.

Can we please talk about the Georgia, Paul, Zion love triangle😭? (Ik that Joe likes Georgia and he is great BUT he kinda doesn't count) Despite being bi-racial, myself and understanding identity and that whole bi-racial struggle, I couldn't emotionally relate to almost anything but the episode when Zion tried to make things work with Georgia and then Paul "proposing". I think I liked that part of the show the best. Zion is Ginny's father, he loves her and her mom(and Austin), he's an adult now he wants to shed his old history and have a future w his family but that gets murdered 😭 bc Georgia is in a happy relationship w a good guy. The only part that made me feel something throughout this entire show. I think that's just such an underrated part of the show and mirrors what a lot of people go through. U don't want to let go of someone bc of history, memories, and them being a "safe space" but what about the future? Will u go back to that toxic relationship or stay in a healthy one? I love that so much!

It’s definitely a great part of the story that people can relate to! It’s like on paper the mayor looked like the perfect candidate for her (no pun intended lol).

It’ll be interesting to see how he expresses himself in the next season with her being engaged and all. But I agree with you. I think we’ve all faced a situation like that to a certain level lol. I’m curious to know from you, as a bi-racial person, what was the disconnect for you with that storyline?

That just makes me both. I don't have to rap to be black or play piano to be asian... Just because I don't identity with asian culture doesn't mean I'm "not asian enough" I wish other people could realize this. There is no I'm not asian enough or black enough.

I also think that your answer shows your self-confidence. Unfortunately, many people who keep themselves in a box don’t have that level of confidence and subsequently find themselves in Ginny’s position. Like all the side remarks from her friends about finding the right shade of makeup, or her hair getting puffy when she was getting her hair combed. None of that would’ve bothered her had she had confidence in herself. The world would be a much better place if it weren’t so black and white. But love that for you! Lol really do.
