After the successful release of the first season, Ginny and Georgia are back with more drama, teen angst, and well, running from the law on Georgia's past. This season does a way better job of delving into every character's lives and telling us their stories. Picking up from where the last season ended, Paul and Georgia are still very much engaged. Ginny took off with Austin and is living with her father Zion. She is still reeling from the shocking revelations that the PI Gabriel told her. Believing her mother to be a murderer, Ginny just cannot face her again. But soon Georgia puts her foot down and insists that Ginny and Austin move back in. Fearing her father will reveal her secrets about her self-harming habits, Ginny reluctantly agrees. But the problems are only just resurfacing. Where Georgia believes her engagement to Paul is the reason behind this rebellion, she soon becomes painfully aware of Ginny's internal turmoil. With words, poetry, and sinister plans, Ginny conveys how she feels about her mother's dark past. Even though Georgia is still adamant about everything she did being in the best interest of her kids, this time she seems a little more inclined to listen to Ginny when she talks. Meanwhile, Ginny gets back to school. Back with Marcus. And the series dives deep into the lives of Abby and Marcus and Max. Their heartbreaks, their demons, and their stories are so well explored and expressed, that the second season turns out more wholesome than the first. Of course, domestic problems aren't the only thing worrying Georgia. Austin's dad Gil is back from prison, which is far from being happy news to Georgia. And PI Gabriel unearths secret after secret, and in each episode, you almost expect to hear the police siren and their lights flashing across Miller's living room. Themes of mental trauma, the need for therapy, struggles with body acceptance, gun control, and racism are tackled well without sounding too preachy. The story is still very much about Ginny and Georgia, and we are already biting our nails in eager anticipation after that heart-stopping cliffhanger!
