Season 7 Review:
Younger pulls off a final season that will remind viewers why they fell in love with it in the first place. At its core, the show has always been about our ability to reinvent ourselves. But while earlier seasons might have emphasized our longing for the opportunities we wasted away in our youth, this final one comes off as older but wiser. It’s a hopeful exploration on how fresh starts can occur at any age.

Season 4 Review:
Despite entering its fourth season,, Younger manages to remain fresh. ... The heart of this series rests in the relationship between its impeccably layered ladies. [30 Jun 2017, p.54]

Season 3 Review:
What makes Younger continue to work is the fact that Liza's daughter, job, and friends still (appropriately) take priority, It's that truth--as well as help from Liza's zany associates--that keeps the series grounded in its fun reality. [30 Sep 2016, p.53]

Season 7 Review:
The absence of Shor’s acerbic Diana. ... Her brief, quick-witted appearance will leave viewers hungry for more. There’s no such thing as too much Diana. Thankfully, that loss is somewhat mitigated by the increased presence of billionaire Quinn (Laura Benanti). Quinn makes for a delightful villain. ... One of the true joys of Younger, which continues into the new season, is how delightfully it trolls the publishing world.

Season 1 Review:
There's merry if repetitive humor in the nuances of [Sutton Foster's character's] physical and digital transformation. [3 Apr 2015, p.58]

Season 1 Review:
For those of us 40 and older, it’s a bit of a hoot watching Foster navigate these waters, from learning how to use Twitter to deciphering texts IRL (in real life) to explaining away those crow’s feet, among other things that aren’t mentionable in a family newspaper. But it’s the personal relationships--with the hunky Tortorella and with Duff--that hold the most interest here.

Season 7 Review:
In its final episodes, Younger remains as fizzy as the Champagne that gets poured at all those rooftop parties that Liza & Co. get to attend. The show’s connection to the real world may be extra-tenuous, but the truth is, most of us never came to Younger for reality. We came, season after season, to escape. Despite some uneven spots, it’s still a pleasure to let it sweep us away again for one last time.

Season 6 Review:
Even though the series starts on a less instantly tense note than last season, it’s still just as enjoyable. Six seasons in, Younger remains a fizzy New York fantasy that’s light without sacrificing its intelligence, a pleasure that comes with no residual guilt whatsoever. Its cast is still charming and fully in command of the show’s snarky-to-poignant tonal shifts.

Season 4 Review:
We tend to crave pop culture that’s addictive and purely entertaining more than ever during this season, and Younger is precisely that sort of television. It’s also the sort of show that pokes fun at millennial stereotypes without talking down to members of that demographic.

Season 3 Review:
Younger maintains its thematic edge not by glorifying one generation above the other or by prioritizing the domestic over the professional, but by giving insightful critiques on larger, institutionalized problems like ageism and sexism. Thematically, this show does more with its 20-minute episodes than some shows do with an entire season.

Season 1 Review:
Younger sells it through Foster’s agile charm and its refusal to make any of its characters into punching bags. (TV Land sent out the full season for review; I’ve seen five episodes.) Like its protagonist, the ideas behind Younger have been around the block a few times. But it doesn’t show its age at all.

Season 1 Review:
There are a lot of jokes about Brooklyn, sex and millennial entitlement, but the underlying sensibility echoes that of “Sex and the City.” It’s a lighthearted but wistfully knowing look at the gender imbalances and generational rifts that make life hard for even fabulous women.

Season 6 Review:
At this point, Younger knows exactly how to give its audience what they want. [14/21 Jun 2019]

Season 5 Review:
As the show (and Liza) grows older, it’s comforting to see it shake off inertia but still be able to offer insight in a loving, laughable way. Judging by the first three episodes this year, Younger shows promise in being able to adapt and grow, no matter what its age.

Season 1 Review:
Younger, with its fizzy sensibility and sexual frankness, is a not-so-veiled attempt to lure younger audiences to the network, but there's a caginess to the humor, poking fun at both the younger generation, whose self-worth seems irrevocably tied to the strength of their Instagram following, and the pop cultural obliviousness of Liza's generation.

Season 2 Review:
As ever, the show feels confident in what it’s doing with its characters (some excluded) and what it’s saying about women who face a constant uphill battle for understanding from the outside world when they are, most importantly, just trying to understand themselves. There’s poignancy to that.

Season 1 Review:
The series tries a little hard at first. You can hear its knees creak, its joints pop.... But once we are out in open water, things improve; the show grows across its 12 first-season episodes into a comfortably familiar and appealing sort of TV-season-length rom-com.
