What does being younger mean to you? Taught skin? Perky
breasts? The world at your fingertips? Bingo! Let’s face it, age is more than
just a number. It transforms you in ways unwanted. But, what if you could
redefine yourself. What if you could reverse time and relive some of the
greatest years of your life. Would you do it?
Last weekend, I started a new TV series called, Younger, based
off of Pamela Redmond Satran’s Novel. And, I’m happily obsessed! The storyline
is about a 40 year old divorcee, seeking a job in publishing after a 15 year
long break. The main character, Liza, quickly realizes she’s been out of the business
too long when her interviewers, younger than her, vulgarly reference social trends
as if speaking a different dialect. Unable to land a job, her new roommate,
Maggie, takes her out for drinks at a nearby bar in Brooklyn. After Liza gets
hit on and mistaken for being 26, she realizes changing her age might be the
key to success.
As a good friend, Maggie helps Liza alter her identity, which
finally lands her a job as publisher’s assistant. But, passing for 26 becomes
her job’s biggest challenge when she observes that generation Y has redefined,
well, everything. Taking one day at a time, she begins to learn the millennial
views: magazines = mentors, dating = trend, fashion = statement, and social
media = bible. And, as the story progresses, more complications arise, each nearly
revealing Liza’s true age.
Trust me, this dramedy (drama/comedy hybrid) is every
woman’s indulgence. If your interest is peeked, check it out on TV Land!
Season 2 premieres Wednesday, January 13th 10/9c.
Tune in!
Happy Watching!
With every best wish,
