From The Split to This Is Us, the 6 best family dramas to watch after Ginny & Georgia
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. Where to watch: Netflix 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. Where to watch: Netflix 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. Where to watch: BBC iPlayer 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. Where to watch: Channel 4 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. Ginny and Georgia is available on Netflix now

Parade a staple of annual PrairieFest celebration in Oswego
Crowds of families and friends lined the streets along the parade route Sunday during Oswego's annual PrairieFest celebration in Oswego. The parade – part of four days of attractions at PrairieFest – featured a 1950s theme to honor the 75th anniversary of the Oswegoland Park District. The first of the units were members of the Oswego Fire Protection District, Oswego Police Department, Kendall County Sheriff's Office and Oswego American Legion Post 675. Katie Husarik, of Oswego, was with her son and daughter, Slate, 5 and Covee, 3, on Main Street to cheer the people going by in the parade. 'We come to PrairieFest every year. The parade is a fan favorite for our kids,' Husarik said. Amy Danison and Sarah Cooley met for the first time along the parade route on Sunday. The mothers are proud parents with children in the Oswego High School and Oswego East High School marching bands. 'It's gratifying to see all of their hard work actually come to fruition in the parade,' Danison said. 'The freshmen in particular had to prepare to march in their first-ever parade.' The park district has a long list of community partners to help put on PrairieFest, including the village of Oswego and Oswego School District 308, organizers said. 'Our boundaries encapsulate around 38 square miles and we know with future development there will be more residents to come,' Oswegoland Park District Executive Director Tom Betsinger said of the district's mission. PrairieFest began more than 30 years ago as Oswego Days. 'The park district assumed responsibility for the festival from a community group of volunteers,' he said. 'PrairieFest is the largest festival in Kendall County.' Approximately 10,000 to 15,000 people of all ages attend the activities, carnival, expo, car show and musical performances each day at the fest, he said. Oswegoland Park District Recreation Manager Paige Tully was the chief organizer of the parade on Sunday. 'We encouraged parade participants to embrace the 1950s era with floats and costumes to reflect that time,' Tully said. The one-mile parade route began at Garfield and Jefferson streets. Some 43 units marched down Jefferson to Main Street through the downtown where they were greeted by spectators. The parade ended at Washington and Tyler streets. The parade is traditionally held on Father's Day. 'It's always nice to see families and friends come out,' Tully said. Amy Mcmahill and Diana Toutant marched in the parade for Oswego Cub Scout Pack 336 and were decked out in poodle skirts with bows in their hair in keeping with the parade's theme. 'My dad had a 1957 Chevrolet so I appreciate the 1950s, plus our Cub Scouts are celebrating their 50th anniversary, Toutant said. 'The sun is shining and the temperatures are pleasant. We could not have asked for a better day for a parade.' Marching bands were of course a big part of the parade. Oswego High School Band Director Stephanie San Roman and Oswego East High School Band Director Stevan Rexroat said it was an honor to march in the event. 'Our incoming freshman are performing in their first parade,' San Roman said. 'I hope people get excited about the start of summer and the approaching school year. We perform pep tunes to get the crowds excited.' 'We would like for the spectators to enjoy our energy and know they are supporting wonderful arts programs in our school district,' Rexroat said.

Qantas Airways shutters Singapore-based Jetstar Asia on rising costs
SINGAPORE: Australia's Qantas Airways will close its Singapore-based budget airline Jetstar Asia, the group said on Wednesday, blaming rising supplier costs, high airport fees and strong regional competition. The shutdown of the 20-year-old airline next month will result in the loss of up to 500 jobs, a Qantas spokesperson said, and Jetstar Asia's fleet of 13 Airbus A320 planes will be redeployed to Australia and New Zealand. Airlines across Asia, including budget rivals like Singapore Airlines', Malaysia-headquartered AirAsia and Vietnam's VietJet Aviation, have restored and grown their capacity post-pandemic, intensifying competition between carriers and driving airfares down. Jetstar Asia, which operated 16 intra-Asia routes from Singapore's Changi Airport, has faced growing challenges in recent years and has been unable to deliver returns comparable to stronger-performing core markets within the Qantas group, the company said. The airline has seen 'really high cost increases' at its Singapore base, including double-digit rises in fuel, airport fees, ground handling and security charges, Jetstar Group CEO Stephanie Tully told reporters. Jetstar Asia, which Tully said reported profits in only six of its 20 years of operation, is expected to post an underlying loss of A$35 million ($22.76 million) before interest and tax in the financial year ending June 30. The airline said Jetstar Asia's closure would release up to A$500 million to be recycled into its core businesses based largely on the value of the 13 planes, including the ability to replace costly leased aircraft that Australia's Jetstar Airways is using domestically. Jetstar Asia will gradually reduce its schedule before closing on July 31, and customers on cancelled flights will be offered full refunds and moved onto other airlines where possible. Qantas said it would take a one-off financial hit of about A$175 million from Jetstar Asia's closure over two financial years. Qantas shares were trading about 1 percent lower. The group said on Wednesday it continues to see strong demand across its domestic and international businesses. Cost woes Tully said Jetstar Asia's cost base was hit particularly hard in the last 18 months to two years. Changi, the world's fourth-busiest airport by international passengers, is steadily raising charges from this year through 2030 to fund investments and higher operating costs. The airport in March 2023 moved Jetstar Asia's operations from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4, the only terminal not connected by train to the other terminals, despite the airline's objections. 'We think it has had an impact on the business,' Tully said. Changi said in a statement it was disappointed by Jetstar Asia's decision to exit Singapore but respected its commercial considerations. Jetstar Asia accounted for around 3 percent of the airport's passenger traffic last year. Changi said it would work with other airlines to fill capacity gaps, including on four routes that no other carrier currently operates. Australia, New Zealand focus International operations at Qantas' other budget carriers, Jetstar Airways and Japan-based Jetstar Japan, will not be affected, the airline said. Six of Jetstar Asia's 13 narrow-body aircraft will replace leased aircraft at Jetstar's Australian operations, while four will replace ageing planes Qantas uses to serve the mining industry. Two planes will be deployed to Jetstar in Australia and one in New Zealand to grow capacity and potentially launch new routes, the airline said, in a move that will create more than 100 local jobs. Employees losing jobs in Singapore will get redundancy benefits and support to find jobs within the Qantas group or other airlines. Singapore's biggest trade union, the National Trades Union Congress, said it was aware of the Jetstar Asia closure ahead of the announcement and was working with Singapore Airlines, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Changi Airport to find new employment opportunities for the airline's employees. Singapore Airlines said it had set up channels for Jetstar staff to expedite applications for employment within the airline group. - Reuters
