History YMMV / GinnyAndGeorgia

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Using someone's ashes as gunpowder for fireworks? ''Pretty much'' teetering at the MoralEventHorizon. [[spoiler:Those same ashes belonging to [[AssholeVictim someone]] that harassed Georgia and would've done the same to Ginny as a toddler? '''[[BlackComedy Darkly]]''' [[BlackComedy funny]].]]

* CatharsisFactor: Ginny's selfish and bratty attitude towards her mother and friends and always [[PlayingTheVictimCard playing the victim]] didn't do much to endear her to a lot of people. Eventually, both Georgia (in episode 6) and Abby (in episode 8) have their moments when they get sick of her attitude and give Ginny an ArmorPiercingSlap. For the many viewers who can't stand Ginny, these moments were ''very'' satisfying.

** In tone, some reviewers have pointed out the show is similar to Series/DesperateHousewives; with characters having soapy and totally over-the-top secrets.

* TheScrappy: Ginny. Her self-absorbed and destructive personality, ItsAllAboutMe attitude, and [[WithFriendsLikeThese selfish]] [[SpoiledBrat treatment]] towards her friends and mother do her no favors, on top of having very limited redeeming qualities beyond her BigSisterInstinct toward Austin. While some were willing to forgive her flaws since she's a teenager and [[FreudianExcuse does have a tumultuous home life]], most people found her extremely unlikeable and [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic hard to sympathize with]].

* CatharsisFactor: As stated below, many viewers ''hate'' Ginny for her selfish and bratty attitude towards her mother and friends and always [[PlayingTheVictimCard playing the victim]] when someone calls her out on it. Eventually, both Georgia (in episode 6) and Abby (in episode 8) have their moments when they get sick of her attitude and give Ginny an ArmorPiercingSlap. For the many viewers who can't stand Ginny, these moments were ''very'' satisfying.

* OvershadowedByControversy: Many of the show's tasteless one-liners (most famously "You go through men faster than Taylor Swift", which proved so controversial even ''Swift herself'' called the writers out on it), problematic social commentary, and bizarre portrayal of modern-day teenagers are arguably the most well-known aspects of the series.

* TheScrappy: Ginny. Many viewers ''hated'' her self-absorbed and destructive personality, ItsAllAboutMe attitude, and [[WithFriendsLikeThese selfish]] [[SpoiledBrat treatment]] towards her friends and mother (in addition to having very limited redeeming qualities). While some were willing to forgive her flaws since she's a teenager and does have a tumultuous home life, most people found her extremely unlikeable and hard to sympathize with (this being especially egregious due to her being the leading character of the show).

* JustHereForGodzilla: Georgia's storyline is the only aspect of the show that some viewers consider unanimously good and interesting to watch.
* {{Narm}}: A ''lot'' of the more dramatic moments within the storylines of the teenagers are thought to come off as unintentionally funny and cringe-worthy; by far the most infamous example is the argument between Ginny and Hunter in episode 8 in which they accuse each other of being whitewashed, with both criticizing one another for not being more stereotypical (Hunter even name-dropped the term "oppression Olympics").

* TheScrappy: Ginny. Many viewers ''hated'' her self-absorbed and destructive personality, ItsAllAboutMe attitude, and [[WithFriendsLikeThese selfish]] [[SpoiledBrat treatment]] towards her friends and mother, which makes her hard to root for. While some were willing to forgive her flaws since she's a teenager and does have a tumultuous home life, most people found her extremely unlikeable and hard to sympathize with, especially as a leading character.

** One of the main criticisms of the show is that most of the high school characters are '''extremely''' selfish and petty (frequently disregarding basic logic and mature thinking that's ridiculous even from a teenager's perspective). It makes it ''very'' hard for viewers to sympathize with them, to the point that a lot of people ended up rooting against them.
** Ginny, as stated above, is a big offender. She provokes fights with her mother Georgia and rags on her, whilst Georgia is only trying to give her kids a good life. (Something she didn't have due to having AbusiveParents, which Ginny becomes aware of and [[KickTheDog outright dismisses]].) She also gets very defensive and hostile with anyone who disagrees with her poor behavior (including repeatedly cheating on her [[NiceGuy loving boyfriend]]). Many viewers felt bad for Georgia for her poor relationship with Ginny.

* WhatAnIdiot: Ohh boy, does Georgia have several moments of these.
** Who would keep a [[spoiler: poisonous flower]] that could be easily identified ''in their own garden''?
** In Episode 8, Georgia openly takes some money from the Town Hall's account and ''puts half of it in her purse'', separated from the rest. Of course, Cynthia Miller quickly catches on to this.
** It gets better: turns out Georgia was keeping ''all the unregistered checks'' of the money she [[spoiler: stole]] from the Town Hall in her very same office, right next to a computer where any other person could see how those are ''not'' registered in the Mayor's Office balance. Oh, put in a password, you say? Of course, she has it ''written on a post-it under the keyboard''.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Believe it or not, of Series/GilmoreGirls, which has been pointed out even before the show had started airing. And, despite the tonal differences, the characters' personalities and dynamics, the setting (a little New England town with some ''magic''), and even the premise ("They are mother and daughter AND also best friends") call back to the WB series. Though it could also be considered the other way round and seen as a {{Deconstruction}} of the earlier show since the dysfunctional and erratic, self-centered behavior of the characters turn them into pretty messed up individuals.

* TheScrappy: '''Ginny'''. Several viewers ''hated'' her self-absorbed and destructive personality, ItsAllAboutMe attitude, and her [[WithFriendsLikeThese selfish]] [[SpoiledBrat treatment]] towards her friends and mother, which makes her hard to root for.

** Ginny, as stated above, is by far the biggest offender. She constantly provokes fights with her mother Georgia and needlessly rags on her, despite the fact that Georgia is only trying to give her kids a good life (something she didn't have due to having AbusiveParents, which Ginny becomes aware of and ''still'' dismisses). She also gets very defensive and hostile with anyone who disagrees with her poor behavior (including repeatedly cheating on her [[NiceGuy loving boyfriend]]). Many viewers felt bad for Georgia for having to deal with Ginny, especially given how she frequently goes out of her way to try to make her daughter happy, only for Ginny to disrespect her at almost every opportunity possible.

Many viewers ''hate'' her self-absorbed and destructive personality, ItsAllAboutMe attitude, and her [[WithFriendsLikeThese selfish]] [[SpoiledBrat treatment]] towards her friends and mother, which makes her hard to root for. However, others were more willing to forgive her flaws since she's a teenager and does have a tumultuous home life.

* HiddenDepths: In her very last scene of the first season, Cynthia Fuller gets this: it's revealed she has to take care of her ill husband and their child, maybe explaining her self-centered and unpleasant behavior.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: A main criticism of the teenagers' storylines is how most of the characters are ''extremely'' selfish, petty, and destructive (frequently disregarding total logic and mature thinking, even from a teenage perspective). Many viewers can't sympathize with them and actually begin ''rooting against them''.
** Ginny, as stated above, is by far the biggest offender. She's constantly provoking fights with her mother and needlessly ragging on her (when she's only trying to give her kids a good life; which she didn't have due to having AbusiveParents, which Ginny becomes ''aware of'' and ''still'' dismisses). She also gets ''easily'' upset with anyone who disagrees with her poor behavior (as well as repeatedly cheating on her [[NiceGuy loving boyfriend]]). Many viewers felt bad for Georgia for having to deal with Ginny, especially given how lax she was about certain things (such as sex) and frequently going out of her way to try to make her daughter happy; only for Ginny to be [[SpoiledBrat ungrateful and disrespectful]] almost every time.

* {{Padding}}: It's been noted by reviewers how the show tends to have a musical/dance number/montage in almost every episode that doesn't actually bring anything to the story.
