Ginny & Georgia: parents' guide

Mostly brief, with little blood. Flashbacks show men abusing women, and a teen Georgia slashing one abuser with glass and shooting her stepfather in the hand. Georgia secretly kills several people. Sexual abuse is depicted, including a stepfather inappropriately touching his teen stepdaughter.

Frequent but mostly milder: one review counted 6 to 10 s-words per episode, plus "bitch," "bastard," "ass," "pussy" and frequent misuse of God's name. Crude sexual terms, "whore" and some slurs also appear.

Ginny, 15, loses her virginity in the first episode in a frank scene that shows her bare back. Teens and adults undress to underwear and have sex, including oral sex, without explicit nudity. Frank sex talk, porn audio, and an abortion in season 3.

Georgia drinks a lot of wine, teens get drunk at parties and use alcohol to cope with depression, and teens and adults smoke marijuana. A flashback shows underage drinking with a fake ID, and Georgia's parents were drug addicts.

Ginny burns and cuts herself in several scenes, and scars are shown. Abuse flashbacks, a dangerous ex, Ginny's nightmare of being smothered, a murder trial and classmates bullying young Austin add tension, and teen depression is a recurring storyline.
