Younger follows the life of Liza Miller who lives in New York City, is a divorced woman in her 40s, with a teenage daughter, all amongst having a failed marriage because of her ex’s gambling addiction. They both live in New York City. Liza ends up meeting a 20-something-year-old named Josh who thinks she’s his age and is in her 20s. She ends up coming up with a plan to pass herself off as a woman in her 20s so she doesn’t have to deal with the harsh stereotypes of being an older age in New York City. She does this so she doesn’t fall under discrimination when applying for a marketing job. Her plan works, and she ends up becoming the assistant to the head of marketing at a big company.
Since releasing Younger, it has received really positive reviews all around. Critics said that it is quite refreshing to have a series that’s based in New York, be about books and publishing, rather than fashion like many shows based in New York are about. Other critics say it is overall an extremely well-made series and that it has an amazing cast and plot. It is extremely relatable in the sense that aging makes it harder to start a new career. And this series does a great job at showing that.
