#ginny and georgia is about a southern family with a grifter mom trying to fit into twee new england suburb

I started watching Ginny and Georgia on Netflix (so far it's like Gilmore Girls but with better discussions of class and trauma) and now I think it's the fucking funniest thing in the world that in Gilmore Girls, when Lorelai runs away from home she tries "to get as far from her parents as she can" which just ends up being 40 minutes west of Hartford.

#that being said I like how this new show is upfront with the ways the mom is messing up her daughter #whereas in gilmore girls lorelai's lifestyle is portrayed as a fun and freeing thing #until you start reading between the lines and see the ways rory is messed up #and whereas the first half of gilmore rory is trying to fit into elite wasp society #after coming from twee suburban new england culture??? full offense but what #ginny and georgia is about a southern family with a grifter mom trying to fit into twee new england suburb #so the contrast is so much higher and the conflicts actually have weight
