‘Dawson’s Creek’

If you like Ginny and Georgia for the relationships and interweaving storylines, then you might enjoy Dawson’s Creek. From 1998 to 2003, the show followed Dawson Leery as he navigated life along with his high school friends Joey Potter, Pacey Witter, and Jen Lindley. Dawson’s Creek was a huge critical success and remains popular even years later. It lives on several streaming services, including Netflix and Hulu.

‘Euphoria’

Looking for more high school drama? Then consider watching Euphoria. Starring Zendaya, Euphoria follows the troubled teenager Rue. The series, which premiered in 2019, finds Rue coming out of rehab for drugs, but she begins using again almost immediately. Things begin to change when she meets Jules, a quirky new girl who, like Rue, is also trying to make sense of her life. You can watch Euphoria now on HBO Max.

‘Gilmore Girls’

Since its premiere, Ginny and Georgia has often been compared to Gilmore Girls. Like the former, Gilmore Girls focuses on the relationship between a mom and her daughter, but the tone isn’t as dark. The show premiered back in 2000 and ran for seven seasons until 2007, but it’s still a big hit with audiences due to its witty quips and unique relationships. Find it on Netflix now.

‘Good Girls’

Good Girls tells the story of three suburban moms who begin robbing to better their respective financial situations. They start off by stealing from a grocery store, but as the show progresses, they get sucked into more and more crime. Good Girls debuted in 2018 to praise from fans and critics and has continued for four successful seasons. NBC, Netflix, and Hulu are among the websites where fans can watch it.
