USA TODAY's TV critic Kelly Lawler breaks down the best TV shows you don't to want to miss this summer
Buckle up, buttercup, and start perfecting that Southern accent. The madness of Netflix's 'Ginny & Georgia' has returned for its third season, and viewers will see how manipulative matriarch Georgia Miller (Brianne Howey) handles her arrest.
In the January 2023 Season 2 finale, it appeared that Georgia might've found her happy ending. She'd married an enamored mayor (Scott Porter) who could provide emotional and financial security. But as she danced with her groom at their wedding reception, she considered the worry that accompanies joy: 'Happiness is the scariest thing to be,' she thought. 'Once you're happy, you have so much more to lose.'
Enter the police to apprehend Georgia for the murder of Cynthia Fuller's (Sabrina Grdevich) comatose husband Tom (Vincent Legault). Georgia thought placing a pillow over Tom's face would end his family's suffering, but it might just be the start of hers.
Before beginning the new 10 episodes for Season 3, familiarize yourself with the series' beloved characters.

Netflix's new psychological thriller movie is an unnerving descent into madness — but there's a problem
Netflix is going big on thrillers lately, and you can't blame the streaming service either. Its subscriber base seems to gobble up intense and twisting flicks with glee, so there's a good chance 'A Normal Woman' will be the latest original to make a real splash. It wouldn't surprise me if this Indonesian psychological thriller resonates. There's quite a lot to like here, from the hooky premise of a woman slowly spiralling into madness as her seemingly perfect life crumbles, to the strong leading performance from Marissa Anita. But its strengths are mostly skin-deep. Underneath the intrigue and the unsettling moments (of which there are quite a few), director Lucky Kuswandi never manages to elevate the proceedings above its daytime TV tone, and it can be quite a patience-testing watch. Curious to know more? Here's everything you need to know about 'A Normal Woman' to help you make the call on whether to add it to your Netflix watchlist or give this one a skip. Milla (Marissa Anita) has a seemingly perfect life. She's the wife of a successful businessman (Dion Wiyoko), and living in luxury, her list of problems or stresses seems to be extremely small. However, looks can be deceiving, and the pressure to be perfect weighs heavily on her. And this anxiety begins to manifest itself in increasingly skin-crawling ways. First, as a rash on her neck before spreading to cover her entire face. And the itching becomes unbearable. Under the stern eye of her mother-in-law, Liliana (Widyawati), Milla's sanity begins to spiral, and she also struggles to recall her childhood. It's not long before dark secrets surface. 'A Normal Woman' dives deep into the pressures that come with trying to keep up a facade. Initially, Milla appears to have it all, but it quickly becomes apparent that her perfect life is anything but a dream. She faces relatable insecurities and lacks a sense of self and direction. It certainly doesn't help that the people around her do little but pile on more pressure. Her husband seems far from concerned about her struggles, more annoyed to be 'forced' to deal with her problems, and her mother-in-law is quite a nasty piece of work. Blaming Milla's woes on things like not attending church regularly, while doting endlessly on her son. Milla is also struggling to raise her young daughter, who has deep insecurities of her own, bemoaning her appearance, and desperate for plastic surgery to make herself feel pretty. You probably won't be surprised to know that her self-loathing is only exacerbated by scrolling social media, observing people who present themselves as impeccably put together. When Milla's rash breaks through, it starts small, just a small red patch on her neck, but as her psyche cracks further, and she can't help but scratch, it becomes a festering wound, leaking blood and spreading across her entire face. It's an effective way of showing Milla's troubles bubble to the surface, and for body horror fans, it's effective enough to make you itch your own skin. Throw in the mystery surrounding Milla's childhood, surreal nightmares and teasing glimpses of a dark past, and 'A Normal Woman' has plenty to hook viewers in its early stages. But despite its initial narrative strength, it has quite a soap-opera-like quality, often opting for a melodramatic approach. "A Normal Woman" has grand ideas, exploring its characters' deep-rooted insecurities and incorporating uncomfortable elements of gaslighting, but it often presents them in ways that feel cheap and look more than a little shoddy. Poor green screening on some outdoor scenes doesn't help this issue. However, I think what will really turn some viewers away is the plodding pacing. The movie clocks in at almost two hours, but barely has enough material for a 90-minute movie. It labours its central point, with multiple scenes dedicated to the same idea and repeating details endlessly. I don't mind a slow-burn thriller, but 'A Normal Woman' lays down its cards very early on and has precious few tricks up its sleeve to keep you invested until the very end. Answering this key question is surprisingly tricky. 'A Normal Woman' has quite a bit to say, and much of it is valuable. It's a relatable feeling to be fixated on your outward appearance, and to struggle with anxiety about how you're perceived in the pressure cooker of modern life. But, at the same time, 'A Normal Woman' has a lot of major faults that make it quite a slog to sit through. Too often it trades subtlety for melodrama, and it forgets that sometimes less or more. Plus, I feel the slow-burn pacing is going to be a dealbreaker for an awful lot of viewers. Genre fans may want to give this new psychological thriller a chance, but I expect many people will switch off before they can reach the ending. And considering it doesn't do enough to retain your interest for almost two hours, I can't exactly blame anybody for deciding to dip out early. 'A Normal Woman' seems destined to go down as a Netflix thriller movie with interesting ideas that never quite coalesce into a truly satisfying whole. It could have been a must-watch, but instead is ultimately merely passable. Another Netflix movie that will get lost in the platform's vast library. Which, in some ways, is more irritating than even the itchiest rash. Looking for more Netflix recommendations? Check out our guide to all the new movies on Netflix in July 2025.

'Sorry, Baby': How Eva Victor turned 'very personal' trauma into a must-see comedy
Eva Victor fell in love with acting in a high-school production of the musical 'Spring Awakening.' 'I was the tallest Wendla in the history of the world,' deadpans Victor, 31, whose lanky 5-foot-11 frame is a frequent punchline in her comedy. 'I was like, 'This is my life.' It was very formative for me. I could do the whole 'Mama Who Bore Me (Reprise)' for you right now.' The former theater kid is now a first-time filmmaker, winning a best screenplay prize at Sundance Film Festival for the beautifully tender and wryly observed 'Sorry, Baby' (in theaters nationwide July 25). The movie follows a newly tenured English professor named Agnes (Victor) as she discovers that her best friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie), is pregnant. But while Lydie and their grad-school classmates are checking off major life milestones, Agnes is still emotionally stunted after being raped years earlier by a thesis adviser, Decker (Louis Cancelmi). Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox 'It's a very personal story and I took great joy in it being narrative fiction,' says Victor, who uses they/she pronouns. 'Naomi said this thing that really stuck with me, about how trauma becomes like a stone in a river. You don't get to choose that it's put there, and a lot of the pain is trying to get rid of the stone. But that's actually not possible – it's really about figuring out how to move and grow around it.' 'Sorry, Baby' is disarmingly funny despite the serious subject matter, as Agnes finds comfort in her sheepish neighbor, Gavin (Lucas Hedges), and butts up against the clinical ways that people in power speak to her about assault. Victor, who gained prominence with their viral comedy videos during the pandemic, drew from a wide swath of cinematic influences, ranging from 'Juno' to 'Fargo' to 'Singin' in the Rain.' Victor recently chatted with USA TODAY about the film: Edited and condensed for clarity. Question: There's a moment that really moved me, when Agnes says, "I don't see myself getting older or having kids. I don't see myself at all." What does that line mean to you? Eva Victor: Agnes had this youthful lust for life and her career and her creative expression, and among the many things that were taken from her through this experience, one of them is that dreaming ability. I imagine a world where Agnes is able to dream again, but she is robbed of imagining the future and forced to confront the daily tasks of the world that were once easy and are now extremely hard to get through. I think when she says, 'I can't see myself,' she's speaking to, 'My mind is empty when I imagine what could happen next. People around me are able to see things, but right now, I can't.' So that line means a lot to me, too. Agnes and Lydie often tell each other, "Please don't die." It's a seemingly grim yet relatably heartfelt sentiment – where did that come from? I had a playwriting teacher in college that said this thing I think about all the time, which is that saying 'I love you' is wonderful, but how do these characters say 'I love you?" What is the way that they're able to communicate that in their own private language? On 'Grey's Anatomy,' Cristina and Meredith say, 'You're my person,' and in this movie, I feel like that might be Agnes and Lydie's version of it. There are many quiet scenes of characters supporting Agnes, whether it's through a long hug or a sandwich. Did you ever have to resist the urge to make it "more Hollywood?" There's a part where Agnes gets lighter fluid from Gavin, and I remember writing, 'Oh, she goes to Decker's office and tries to light it on fire.' But the next day, I looked at it and was like, 'That's not what she wants.' Instead, she goes home and she's like, 'I almost did something crazy.' In moments that I wanted to indulge in more movie energy, I tried to remember what this person would actually do. Also, I wanted the world to have people in it who aren't very good at reading the room, like the doctor and the HR women. When Agnes goes to jury duty, there are a bunch of prying questions that feel very scary and make her retreat back into her hole. So I wanted it to be what felt true to me: this combination of people who are lifesaving and holding this person, and then people who are not able to see her pain. How did your experiences making videos for social media, and writing for the satire site Reductress, inform your work on this movie? The muscle of putting something into the world when no one's asking for it from you is embarrassing and necessary. I never had the experience of someone coming in like, 'You should play this!' I've always been making stuff in order to make stuff happen, so the scrappiness was helpful, like, 'Just keep working!' Also, those videos got me in the habit of watching myself and quickly making decisions about whether it was a good take for me or whether I wanted to do it again. That relationship with myself was already figured out by the time I got to set. Have you started to think about what's next? I'm going to cuddle with my cat. I've been doing so much traveling and I really have missed him. It's so funny, when I was writing 'Sorry, Baby,' the only thing I wanted was to share it with the world and open all the floodgates of my feelings. Now that that's happening, I think going back to a private space is going to be just the perfect remedy I need and we'll see what comes.
