Younger

Are you looking for a new light, funny, smart series you can binge? If so, look no further, Younger is the show for you. What's it all about? It about Liza Miller (Sutton Foster) a forty-something year old woman who is going through a divorce and needs to find her way back into the workforce. She used to be an editor before motherhood. When she applies for a job, she is told she is too old. Liza Miller looks young for age - still gets asked for ID. So she decides to lie, pretend she is 26, dresses really young, and boom, she lands a job as and assistant in a publishing house, Empirical Press.
This is a very likable show with a very likable cast. I was very skeptical going in, as it was a recommendation for my wife from a friend and I thought, oh god, not a chick-flick series; which it kinda is. It also stars Hilary Duff - large eye roll from me. My prejudices are coming out. Duff is great in the show as is the entire cast. The writing is smart enough and the ideas are fresh from show to show. I found myself surprised over and over again about just how good Younger really is.
And here is a little bonus for you, the fashion of the show is something to behold. The clothes! OMG I don't think I saw a single outfit worn more than once by any character. Nobody could afford the clothes in this show, but who cares? Pay close attention to Liza's boss, Diana Trout (played wonderfully by Miriam Shor). This woman has an astounding collection of necklaces, some of which are ridiculous, while others are stunningly beautiful.
Shows run about 22 minutes an episode and there are 12 episodes per season. There are 6 seasons and it's has been renewed for a 7th.
Slide into this DM by catching it on Amazon Prime.
