Never Have I Ever, Insatiable, and other shows for Ginny & Georgia fans
1) Gilmore Girls (2000-2007)
Lorelai (Lauren Graham) is a single mother to Rory (Alexis Bledel). The mother-daughter duo live in the small, idyllic town of Star's Hollow, where they go through the ups and downs of parenting, relationships, and growing up against all odds, with friends and family by their side.
When Ginny & Georgia first premiered on Netflix, it was instantly compared to this iconic 2000s comedy drama for its emphasis on a small-town mother-daughter duo who have a complicated relationship.
So fans who want more of that, minus the increasingly inexplicable crimes (There aren't any mysterious dead bodies dropping all over Star's Hollow), will enjoy this slow and easy-going show. Both shows touch upon the topic of teenage pregnancy.

2) Little Fires Everywhere (2020)
In a late 90s suburbia, Elena Richardson (Reese Witherspoon) lives with her family in a mansion, carrying her lofty ideals in her designer handbags. When she decides to help Mia (Kerry Washington) and her daughter Pearl, she invites trouble like never before. Suddenly, Elena's life isn't so perfect anymore.
Just like in Ginny & Georgia, this psychological drama is based on Celeste Ng's book and follows the mysterious lives of a single mother and her daughter, who keep moving cities and hold secrets and trauma.
The duo's relationship is fractured by the mother's decisions, and is a central theme for most of the miniseries. The vibe of the show, a happy, small town where things aren't what they seem, is similar to Ginny & Georgia's premise.

3) Maid (2021)
Young mother Alex Russell runs from her abusive boyfriend Sean, taking her toddler Maddy with her. She finds a job cleaning houses in Port Hampstead and tries to create a better life for her daughter, while dealing with a broken social services system, a dysfunctional family, and her own wants and dreams.
Fans of Ginny & Georgia often wonder, "How far would Georgia go to protect herself and her child?" A similar sentiment is echoed in Maid, a Molly Smith Metzler drama, where Alex's resolve is second only to her determination to make it out of her real-time nightmare alive. The show poignantly weaves the story of a single mother, making it an intriguing watch.

Small town teen Patty Bladell (Debby Ryan) goes through drastic changes in her physical appearance after undergoing assault by a homeless man. A beauty pageant coach, Bob Armstrong, comes to her with an opportunity to vie for the crown; she agrees, armed with revenge on everyone who wronged her.
This comedy drama by Lauren Gussis is probably the most heavily debated Netflix original. The audience is often divided over this show, which is a campy satirical black comedy about beauty standards and women's rage against the world.
Either way, fans of Ginny & Georgia will enjoy its similarities, where a woman goes on a rampage against everyone who wronged her.

Ginny in Ginny & Georgia might have a comparatively more sheltered life than the four teenagers in this series. Those who were drawn to her trials as a child of color to a single, white mother, and struggles with mental health, this show is the perfect watch. Created by Lauren Iungerich, Eddie Gonzalez, and Jeremy Haft, the show was hailed for its portrayal of sensitive topics through the eyes of teenagers.
