I'm not sure if this is true for others, but the first review that comes up for me describes the show as unrealistic and promoting sleeping around, lying, and other debauchery- the main complaints I've seen about this show seem to be that it promotes sex, lying, sleeping around etc. or is ageist and sexist. What these reviewers seem to believe is that the show is either a guide to life that must teach morals directly, or that it is apparently not a tongue-in- cheek comedy using stereotypes to make social commentary in a humorous way. It is not a how-to guide on being a woman in today's world, and since it isn't a children's show, I don't see why anyone would be concerned that the characters are not all traditionally moral, conservative individuals. I, personally, prefer characters that make mistakes, grow, learn, and change, and have diverse viewpoints. This show has that, and for what it's worth, the main protagonist is neither 'slutty' nor wildly amoral and evil, but is instead rather 'normal' and sympathetic.

I would say that the show is witty, humorous, and at times thought- provoking. The characters are, in fact, more complex than the stereotypes they portray, and anything seemingly sexist or ageist is done deliberately and self-deprecatingly. Yes, it IS unrealistic that a woman over 40 would have to pretend to be in her 20s to get a job. That's the point. Would anyone really go into watching a show with the premise that a 40 year old divorcée is successfully passing as a 25 year old college grad in order to get a job and expect realism?

The show takes little kernels of reality and makes them more absurd, extreme, and unrealistic in order to present a charming, funny show that still provides some insight into social perceptions.

Also note that I managed to watch and enjoy the entire season without feeling the need to sleep around, lie pathologically, or mock anyone over the age of 40.

I was hooked from the start when the show started but then season 7 happened - BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! The first half of the season lacked clear direction and the second half felt very rushed. But was worse was the writing - no originality. Such a pity but the first few seasons were very enjoyable to watch with some great moments.

Me and my mom loved this series from start throughout season 6, but after finishing season 7 I had to lower my rating from a solid 10 to a disappointing 9.. Very good series overall, but they could've ended it with season 6.

I am. 50 year old male Truck Driver who watches a lot of Hulu. I found the first four seasons of Younger and have binged them all. I am recording season 5 on my DVR now so I don't moss a thing. The first 2 seasons were amazing season 3 was slow but picked up at the end. This is a guilty pleasure. I only wish I could see more of their lives. There is so much content that they are missing. This is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. Why did I never hear about this show. EW where was the cover??? Great show. Everything is what I expect in a fantasy based in reality. My question is when do these people sleep. And half their checks must go on taxi and Uber/Lyft. Amazing and full of cliffhangers.

I find it refreshing to watch a show where the main cast is not overly made up, naked and dramatic, chasing men and talking about fantasy love from fairy tales. It is just a really well made story with a nice cast and plot where women can reflect on our new stance in society and the realities we tend to deny. I love how each role has a normal type and depicts the average life and human desires without going over the top with drama and grotesque scenes. I like how fresh, amusing, casually, and simple the story and its characters just show us a good time and the ironies of being a woman in today's world. The young and older woman with its perks and difficulties,goods and bads. Thumbs up!

I need this show to go on forever. I also need more love scenes with Peter Hermann in general. He gets hotter as time goes on. Peter Hermann, promise me this, if this show ends one day you will come back for us 🙏🏻💖 We NEED you 😅

This show is fun and touches on the challenges of getting older while reminding us to stay young at heart. The main character is a women going through a mid life crisis who is forced to reinvent herself after going thru a divorce to a world that sees her as being washed up, out of touch, and unattractive to the job market and dating scene. Instead of accepting peoples'stereotypes she does a makeover of her life and re brands herself as a energetic highly skilled 26 year old. Too many people as they get older become plagued with responsibility and this show reminds people to get out and live life. We all have a lot of life left to live. We are only as old as we let ourselves be. This show reminds us to live life to the fullest. We cannot let stereotypes tell us what we can and cannot do. Love this show as it is well written and gives people the confidence to make changes and take chances. Highly recommended feel good show.

I love this show and feel like it hasn't got the attention it deserves. It's smart, well written and witty. Sutton Foster is a bright star in this. She's funny and relatable. Hillary Duff is just an OK actor but the other cast members pick up the slack. The Diana Trout character is hilarious! Great show!

Overall I enjoyed this show as a simple but somewhat captivating cast of characters with a fun premise. I was looking forward to the last season but will say as I watched it I couldn't wait for it to end. I was bored most of the time and I don't consider myself a prude but this last season was over the top with blatant vulgar scripting and storyline. It didn't need to go that far. These writers sometimes forget the old adage of sometimes a little less is more.

I stumbled across this show just looking for something new to watch. I've been binge watching ever since. I'm surprised how much I like it and really enjoying it!!

This show started out really fun and I considered it my guilty pleasure. However, as the seasons progressed I found the writing to be lazy and the show unwatchable.

When good things fail, they fail on massive levels; I remember how happy this show would make me when it would announce its upcoming seasons. I loved its quick-wit, big-laughs, and quirky characters. However, the series has really fallen apart, the seventh season is extremely inconsistent, annoying, over-the-top (Fupoo Gruncrapper climate change girl), and makes me so glad the show is over. Its consistency lies in its decline in quality, conflict, and introduction of millennial writers (which were sometimes a little bit too much, or extremely vapid). I am certain after watching this trash-heap, that the show was supposed to end earlier than this... but that is just my opinion. New season is a serious pass... finished it cause I was a fan. Emphasis on WAS.

This is probably the most entertaining and addictive show I've watched in a long time. I love that it is set in the publishing industry in NY. The cast is superb. Maggie is my favourite, but I wish a Josh would walk into my life. I love how it breaks the stereotype of a young man only looking for fun. At a first glance it may appear silly. There is a lot of silliness involved, but it does touch on important issues. I don't even care, because it's so much fun!

Generally, the previews interested me. Contemporary, fun, includes the older and younger generation? Very cool! Being a woman, I can see how this would appeal to my gender, but anyone can enjoy it really. I couldn't stop watching after the first episode. It's a bit liberal for my taste, I haven't seen other shows besides Hot in Cleveland on TV Land, but even with the "adult-situations" it's easy to watch, and there's a charm to it that sets it apart from new shows these days. Great actors and actresses for the main roles, Hilary Duff was what drew me in in the first place, but a good show wouldn't be good without who's in it! Just watch, be free, and enjoy it!

Have watched this series from the beginning and enjoyed each one. Good ensemble cast acting. Good plotlines. Good reflection on todays lifestyle. I am in my 60s so it's not a programme just for millennials.

I love this show. Superficially it seems like a light and fluffy romance drama but there are really poignant moments and some heartfelt emotional ones too.

Oh come on get a life nay sayers! Show is adorable and shot for 25-60 year old male or females. Very cute premise and spot on casting. If you don't like chick flicks or rom-coms this is not for you!! Sutton Foster is truly a 40 year old who looks 26 & is smoking hot! She pulls off the part perfectly and kicks in enough spice to definitely heat this up a remind you just how sexy a 40 year old can be. Debi Mazar is the perfect sidekick & Hillary Duff kicks in just the right amount of naiveté to her role. I think this show will really start to gel as everyone grows into their rolls. It should have been written as an hour show. Just as the episode starts to hit stride, poof, see ya next week.

UPDATE; 3 Shows & "Rockin" What a fun show! It is gelling & non stop FUN! UPDATE #2 5 SEASON I sure love this show just wish the would they would make it an hour show. OR join the real world & release all so we can binge, lol.

Tell your friends, spread the word. They deserve to be entertained by a well written & witty comedy!

But I'm getting used to it with these « current » TV shows. Where The Bold Type failed at being Sex and The City 2.0. With its literal way at tackling modern social commentaries. This one did it in a smart and fun way, because it's seen through the eyes of someone from the previous generation, on its early seasons. It's kind of a sitcom, only the writing tries not to be too typical of the genre. Just like SATC was back in the day, on its early episodes. It's no surprise it was released by the same people then. The cast is great, even Hilary Duff, who could look weird for the show (using her songs in some episodes, adds to that impression). But none of them live up to Miriam Shor's comedic timing. She is the real comedy monster of the show. But maybe that's just me. I wasn't too annoyed with the way millennials are depicted and introduced throughout each episodes. Which is a big plus... It's not without it flaws, the heroine is a bit annoying sometimes, but it is nicely written and very entertaining. Until season 4. Season 5 onward is a different story. Let's just say, they couldn't help it, and lost one star from me...

It is an amazing show. I started it because I wanted something chill and I got obsessed. Generaly, I love series which are located at the NYC and this was excactly what I was looking for. The story is fun and unexpecting and definetely I recommend it to you with my whole heart. The only reason I gave 8 stars is the last season. It was awrful. This fantastic show shouldn't has this end, it's a no for me. I'm sorry about this because I loved the rest of it. Nevertheless, the whole message of the series is topical and remind us that age is just a distance, a controlled distance.

Fished me in with S1 and S2 but by the start of S7, it was tough to get through.

Who's idea was give Molly more screen time?
