There's a lot to love about Netflix's Ginny & Georgia. From the outrageously ridiculous plots, to the questionable age differences between the cast and the characters they play, to the way they actually highlight important issues we need to see on screen, we can't help but bingewatch the series.
And one of the biggest things we love about the series is the intergenerational family dynamic. In just one series you get to explore the lives of both teenagers, kids and adults. If like us this is one of the biggest draws to the series for you too, then we've rounded up six must watch shows you need to watch next that have a similar family dynamic to the storytelling in Ginny & Georgia.
Where to watch: Channel 4
With six seasons there's a lot to keep you occupied if you watch This Is Us. It follows the lives of one family - the two parents and their three children - over various different timelines and stages of their lives. There's intense storylines including grief, heartbreak and love. Trust us - you'll need the tissues when you watch this one.

Friends are often family, and Firefly Lane does an incredible job of showcasing this. It's about two girls Tully and Kate who met when Tully moves in next door with her chaotic single mother. The show jumps between various timelines (just like Ginny & Georgia) as you watch the women go through first love, their careers, children and illness. With just two long seasons you could potentially bingewatch it over a weekend.

At the heart of Sweet Magnolias is the story of three best friends, but after a few episodes it becomes clear it's more than just that and we get introduced to their families and community. Just like in Ginny & Georgia there's a lot of high and low stakes drama as the three women navigate divorce, betrayal and running their own business together in the small and close town of Serenity in South Carolina.

Part legal drama, part family series, The Split is perfect for you if you loved seeing Georgia's trial unfold during the recent series of Ginny & Georgia. The BBC series is about the Defoe family who all work in divorce law for their family's firm. Well, all except the eldest daughter Hannah, who works for the family's rival firm. As well as their clients' own cases to win, they've all got troubles of their own to sort out.

Based on Celeste Ng's novel of the same name, Little Fires Everywhere is perfect if you love the small town drama of Wellsbury in Ginny & Georgia and how one seemingly perfect community can actually hold a lot of darkness. It stars Reese Witherspoon as Elena Richardson who invites single mother Mia Warren (played by Kerry Washington) and her daughter into her family's lives, only for her decision to have disastrous consequences.
Where to watch: Netflix
If you want a more light-hearted family drama series then we'd recommend The Duchess. It stars Katherine Ryan as a single mother in London trying to raise her daughter. The unconventional dynamic between Katherine's character aptly named Katherine and her on-screen daughter Olive, has a lot of similarities between that of Ginny and Georgia. Expect a lot of laughs, incredible costumes and touching moments too.
