    Like many TV Land shows, this isn't going to game change TV. What it gives you is a well written, fun comfortable show. I laughed out loud a few times, and enjoyed my time with these characters!

    Creator of "Sex and the city" Darren Star's femin show is funny and sexy he is like a little women inside, he has the comical humor. Foster's charisma is charming and hilarious as the supporting cast. Grade A-

    I'm surprised that a show so offensive, stilted and, frankly, lame doesn't have a single professional critic who noticed. The straw man of the pariah status and uncoolness of women in their forties is hard enough to swallow, but what's worse is that in the service of this straw man, half of the conversations on the show address age. Who does that? It's an exhausting watch. Critics shouldI'm surprised that a show so offensive, stilted and, frankly, lame doesn't have a single professional critic who noticed.

    Delightful use of Sutton Foster to explore an implausible idea. She makes it work. I have missed her since Bunheads was cancelled and am delighted to be able to see her again regularly.

    Getting past the ridiculous premise, expect at some point in every ad lines about genitalia or sex. Writers-watch Frasier & ELR to learn comic writing.

    Why are people determined to make Sutton Foster a star? She is fine as an actress, but I don't understand trying to build this show around her singular appeal. In addition, this is a tough concept to swallow. She is a nice looking woman, but it's hard to imagine anyone thinking she could pass for 26.

    Despicably awful show that somehow creates an idea that millennials are a deciding force, when most of them are struggling with college debt and mediocre careers. The whole "OMG I'm 40, what's a twitter" premise is so demeaning to any age, it's pathetic, and Sutton Foster is so cardboard that no one would notice her or her age. I don't know how things like this get passed any production team.

    I binged this show. I am not going to type a load of paragraphs about my feelings for this show. I will keep it short. The writing is excellent, the acting is tremendous, the actors are gorgeous, the cinematography and wardrobe are out of this world. Whilst watching this show, I escaped my reality and delved into a world of wonderful fantasy that is eerily reality; I laughed and I cried.I binged this show.

    The premise is interesting. They play it purely for lighthearted comedy, but I think they could have gone a bit deeper or more serious on occasion. It's still watchable, even if I'm not laughing all that much. I like the lead and Duff's character. They are delightfully less mean-spirited than most characters I see on TV these days.

    This is a very warm and endearing show. However, with the premise already being somewhat far-fetched, what could bring some truth and reality to it is casting a more diverse set of people. Why is everyone white? How is this at all a reflection of young working life in Manhattan?

    I just finished the first episode of this new show, and first impressions count, even in TV. One of the things that really stuck with me is the way the show makes you feel, which is optimistic, uplifting and relaxed.

One of the things that really stuck with me is the way the show makes you feel, which is optimistic, uplifting and relaxed. By now, all of you know the plot and a little bit about the characters and their environment. Permit me to be a little personal and just a tad honest, as 27 year old who always feels, for some reason, late to being successful and ambitious, put together and in charge of their life, this show gives an example that you can always start over. So if there's hope for a 40 year old, there's definitely hope for someone in their late 20's.
    It's commendable that they are finally making a story about middle aged women who still believe that even though they're not fresh out of college that doesn't mean they're dispensable and useless. It gives you hope, regardless of age that you're not socially or professionally dead once you hit 40, and that inspires. While "Girls" might be a hit, I don't identify with a single character in that show, the portrayal of young people, does more damage than good. Whilst a show about a recent divorcee, stay at home mom who starts being independent again, is more of a good example than whatever Lena Dunham puts out there for young women.
    So, I recommend watching it, because its uplifting, its a new concept and its just a great show.    … Expand

    A show with an appealing cast , good laughs, good writing filled with pop references and pitch perfect 2016 dialogues.
    Light, offbeat, seductive this show is simply a must see comedy

    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.

    It lacks the nuance and cleverness that Star brought to Sex and the City while also missing all the chaotic joy that Broad City and Girls find in this slice of millennial life.... That’s not to say it isn’t compulsively watchable.

    There's a sweetness to the series, an almost admiration for the various crummy behaviors.
