Marathon, anyone? Here are a few series to add to your watch list if you're hooked on the Netflix mother-daughter dramedy.

1. 'Gilmore Girls' (2000-2007, 2016)

Before there was Ginny and Georgia Miller, there was Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. This mother-daughter duo might not have a murder to contend with, but they do provide ample helpings of lovable family dynamics and small-town charm like their successors. Truthfully, if Stars Hollow actually existed, we'd be dining at Luke's on the daily, dodging all of Taylor's crazy schemes and hanging out with Miss Patti.

2. 'Euphoria' (2019-present)

Where to watch: HBO Max

Touching on similar themes to Ginny & Georgia—teenage growing pains, mental health struggles, turbulent high school life—this drama is a more extreme take on the Netflix series. It grapples with strong subject matter as young adults navigate their way through murky waters. Here's what you need to know about the forthcoming Euphoria season 3.

4. 'Teenage Bounty Hunters' (2020)

Where to watch: Netflix

Sure, Teenage Bounty Hunters only lasted one season, but its premise—"twin sisters Sterling and Blair balance teen life at an elite Southern high school with an unlikely new career as butt-kicking bounty hunters"—share the same "coming of age comedy meets crime thriller" mix that we've come to love from Ginny & Georgia.

5. 'Good Girls' (2018-2021)

Where to watch: Netflix

A group of women (played by Christina Hendricks, Retta and Mae Whitman) gets tired of playing nice and getting the short end of the stick.

6. 'Little Fires Everywhere' (2020)

Anything Celeste Ng writes gets immediate real estate on our bookshelves. And anything Reese Witherspoon creates is a must-watch.

It explores a small town in the '90s when a picture-perfect housewife (Witherspoon) rents out a home to a mother (Kerry Washington) and daughter (Lexi Underwood), but there are secrets lurking everywhere, and that whole "picture-perfect" notion is shattered.

Where to watch: HBO Max, Hulu Premium

Three Monterey moms (played by Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley) from very different backgrounds form an unlikely friendship in this book-turned-series. There's a facade masking the perfection that everyone is working so hard to maintain. Will the real secrets of this beachside town be exposed?

8. 'Atypical' (2018-2021)
