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 started this show once a few years ago and didn't make it very far and now, I have no idea why. I started watching it again and I immediately got hooked. As soon as you get your character development, it's hard to turn off the TV. It's heartfelt, it's funny with a few laughs out loud moments. Of course, Sutton kills this role, but my favorite character has to be Miriam Shor's character. She's rough around the edges but hilarious and even kind at unexpected moments. Regardless, I get to hang with my old Saturday morning pal, Hillary Duff while enjoying heart throb boys and a metric crap ton of girl power.
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!
Rewatching this series again and thoroughly enjoying Miriam's portrayal. Younger has so many things that differentiate from other series that make it an enjoyable watch. Filled with a lot of unique characters what really surprised me is how unlikely Diana Trout would end up a redeemable villain and yet they pull it off so well and Miriam Shor is the reason. The words may have been scripted, but every sentence was performed with different nuance and comedy. Truly such a joy to watch her although her story is mostly sub plot. I don't know if anyone could have played the part as well as she did. Love you Miriam!
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.
