Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage slowly finds itself as Season 1 ends
In the lead roles, Emily Osment’s portrayal of Mandy significantly contributes to the show’s humorous aspects. With her background as a series regular in hit multi-camera sitcoms like Hannah Montana and Young and Hungry, Emily Osment skillfully plays to the audience and takes advantage of live reactions. Meanwhile, Dougie Baldwin’s character, Connor – Mandy’s brother – is a standout supporting character who is disappointingly underused in season one. Connor is an intriguing new addition to the series whose character developed more as the season progressed. Unfortunately, the show Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage failed to make full use of Connor in its first season. Montana Jordan maintains Georgie’s personality consistent with his portrayal on Young Sheldon, but the narrative tone of Young Sheldon’s later seasons may have hindered Georgie from becoming a true sitcom star. In its second season, Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage needs to find a way to let Georgie remain relatable while emphasizing his comedic side.
