Trying to start a new career gets more difficult as you age, which suddenly single-mom Liza realizes when she tries to re-enter the working world at 40. After a young tattoo artist convinces her she looks younger, Liza decides to do something about it. Her solution revolves around trying to pass herself off as 26, courtesy of a makeover by her best friend, Maggie. The newfound confidence helps get her a job assisting temperamental Diana. Teaming with 20-something co-worker Kelsey, Liza hopes to make it a dream career -- while no one discovers her secret. She later has to deal with the fallout of the truth after revealing her secret to Kelsey.

A really excellent freshman season, in which every episode passed the Bechdel test. Go to Full Review Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) 03/27/2018
At 56, Star ... may no longer be able to claim to the wunderkind tag (damn that ageism), but he retains his feel for the zeitgeist, and an uncanny ability to wed hi-gloss fantasy to real-world concerns. Go to Full Review Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine 10/26/2015

Younger feels like it belongs on a different network. And that's probably a great thing for TV Land. Go to Full Review Liz Kocan Decider 01/09/2025
It’s got a fantastic cast and, despite the kinda silly age premise, it’s a genuinely great bingeable comedy. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. 10/12/2022
Taken at face value, the premise of Younger — a 40-year-old woman lies about her age in order to get an assistant job at a publishing company — should not work. But somehow, it does (fantastically so). Go to Full Review Lindsey Romain Nerdist 11/13/2018
t's a concept that shouldn't work at all, but somehow, Foster and the rest of the cast - including Hilary Duff and Debi Mazar - elevate Younger into something both silly and special... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Chelsea N. @chelseancantos Mar 5 has all the elements — strong female lead, aspirational, has a moral and emotional heartbeat, good looking characters, people do the right thing and end up w the right people, things work out for everyone almost every time yet it still manages to feel realistic See more L. F @RT68678650 Jan 15 A surprising hit! Definitely an easy watch, with a bit more substance to it. Original story telling, with brilliant characters and a great cast. See more Belinda J @RT26007622 Jan 4 This show is fun and lighthearted enough to make it very entertaining, with undertones of serious societal issues that provide gravitas in all the right moments. It hooks you in really quickly! Do yourself a favor and check it out. See more shirley f @graciegirl122 Dec 28 This is a lighthearted show. Some characters are refreshing, some are very annoying but I did watch the whole 7 series. I found the whole premise to be interesting, more like a fable. So much of this show is unrealistic, such as how any woman in her forties could pass for a 26 year old is so unbelievable is in itself just crazy. Some characters like Josh are believable, played by a great actor and realistic as to how a 26 year old man would act today. The person playing the 26 year old who is actually over 40 is quite annoying I found. Her dressing during the show is just over the top and I found most of the outfits ridiculous. The character Kelseys clothing is also ridiculous and looks attrocious on her. The whole show revolves around mixed up women - jumping in and out of relationships just to prove how mixed up they really are. The main character Charles is just as ridiculous. It did have some good points, about how the world still treats women in todays business. See more Rose G @Rosegg Dec 27 So simple, being 40 is not that old! Badly written, not very funny either. See more Julie H. @rtjulie 05/12/2025 So funny. Binge it now! See more Read all reviews
