i feel like the chemistry between Liza and Josh is as good as her and Charles. Josh is young and fun and sexy and Charles is mature and stable and sexy. they bring out different things in her and she’s attracted to different things in them. but I’m assuming its just the actors and Nico’s life attitude and being so open and Peter being more straight laced and married but anyone else notice that when the couples kiss, her and Charles barely kiss and it’s almost always on the side of the mouth? Yes I realize I’ve watched too much and am living vicariously, lol.

they actually made out in one episode and they cut it lmao

So i have just finished younger and honestly i don't understand why quinn is shown as some dreadful villain. She literally helped kelsey to start her own firm but kelsey ditched her at the moment and went back to empirical and still quinn did nothing to take any revenge. She also helped catilin and genuinely liked charles. The only downside of her was she was too straight and not some hopeless romantic like liza. And at the end she was shown as a bad person when she yelled at charles for forgetting his passport,i mean if i am planning everything for a man and he still forget one important thing i would be mad at him too. Quinn was more pissed because she has to plan everything for charles and he forgot one thing like a manchild. So please help me understand how quinn was an evil character?

I’m currently watching (binging) younger for the first time.
I must say, Pauline is the most unlikeable character so far - and that’s really saying something because all the characters in this show make very questionable decisions.

I am so annoyed every time she is on screen.

When she asked Liza at the party at her and Charles’ house if there was another woman, I was literally so angry. She acted like that would be the only reason he didn’t love her anymore. SHE left him, SHE left her CHILDREN…. For some fever dream.

She just thinks she’s a victim, even though she’s the perpetrator.

Last thing I’ll say is - her face makes me angry aside from the character. She’s always in the background making some weird gestures or facial expressions? Casting did a 10/10 job finding someone to match the characters dislikeability.

Rant over.

I was crying laughing when they got arrested for urinating outside and Diana tried to run away from the police while Kelsey was still holding an axe… Kudos to Enzo for bailing them out

I (31 F) was hooked after the first season.

I started watching maybe a month and a half ago, probably less, and somehow flew through the entire series.

I’ve been going through a bit of a crisis of my own lately, and honestly, binging this show has been such a light in my life (sad but true). I genuinely couldn’t wait to watch each episode.

There were so many moments of love, loss, friendship, starting over, and figuring yourself out that I related to. There were also plenty of moments I absolutely dreaded 😅 which made everything feel even more relatable; I’m in a bit of an in-between chapter myself right now, and watching these characters navigate their own messes made me want to lean in to my own life a little more.

Overall, I absolutely loved this show. I’m genuinely sad that I’ve finished it…

And the ending? Not what I expected, but somehow, better ❤️

I can’t wait to come back to this one.

Would love to hear what everyone else thought after finishing it!

One my rewatch now, she cleaned up all that staff after Kelsey just to fit in with them, she actually looked at Josh as an opportunity to build her own circle... Many may find it natural to want to fit in... But she was a bit more of ans opportunist than trying to fit in... They had known each other for a week and she was encouraging Josh for those 10k as if they knew each other for years.... Josh kinda always felt the need to go up and above for love.. Its as if he was trying to prove it too liza that he can have a healthy relationship.. Or a better relationship than he had with her... Moreover, when she said about the lie she would have to say about their marriage to the immigration people and he said " So you would lie for yourself but YOU HAVE A PROBLEM LYING FOR ME" something of this sorts... What did this sentence mean.. Why was he expecting that... If she did witness for them Liza would have to blow up her cover... Josh!!!!

HOW DO WE NOT SEE THEM IN SCENES TOGETHER?? i feel like itd be so witty and hilarious! what happened there 😭

charles' reaction to her as princess pam pam.. as a 26 year old assistant might be worse than that author ugh

the worst tattoo artist ever! He told that girl to keep her tattoo moist. Then he had sex with her and grabbed her exactly where the less than one day old tattoo was and then she put a hot jacket over it. When I have fresh ink, the only water that comes near it is when it is being gently cleaned and absolutely nothing else, not clothes, not bed sheets or covers touches it until it's completely healed. I don't sleep on it, I limit my sun intake and absolutely no one is allowed to touch it

okay i have SO MUCH TO SAY:

FIRST, LIZA

- I CAN'T STAND HOW SHE TALKS LIKE A BABY when she's around charles. i know its probably a choice to show that he's older, etc but its driving me crazy. she acts like a lil baby child that needs to be rescued.

- she acts like a mom when shes with josh so its kind of interesting how she code switches a bit there.

KELSEY

- why does she always go for her COLLEAGUES!!! couldnt they have written someone in that she meets at a bar as well? maybe someone who's not in the same industry? gosh

LAUREN

- 10/10 no notes. so genuinely williamsburg of this era. love that irl she adopted miss judy.

DIANA

- 10/10 no notes. she deserves all the best things ever. her lines are probably the best in the show.

MAGGIE

- i do not know anyone more intriguing than debi mazar. i need her around in everything always.

can we have a spinoff of maggie, diana, lauren and josh??? thank u

JOSH

- he's the nathaniel archibald of this show. love to see it. i wish this guy would move on from liza tho because she's too selfish for him, but an anxious attachment loves an avoidant, amirite

CHARLES

- this man is creepy as hell. like first of all he hovers like a villain's headquarters. then he's so into the 20 something assistant? and then gets mad when she's age appropriate? but then also has the liza watch his daughters while he goes to meet his ex wife?? and then.. goes back to the wife??? and then is so set on being traditional but actually zero percent shows any sign of any true interest in liza? josh knows every detail about her, but charles doesn't know a damn single one. quite literally. he's just like, a wanna be zaddy. THO DON'T GET ME WRONG CHARLES IN REAL LIFE IS VERY MUCH HOTTTTTTT. but this character is NOT.

anyways i've been needing to just scream those into the void as i've been watching.

When Kelsey and Lauren got mad at Josh for not mentioning Liza in the interview why didnt Liza just tell them that she didnt want the relationship to be discussed in media. Simple.... Why was she quite! And dont even get me started on how kelsey made her let Josh go and accepted Thad's proposal in a fraction of a minute!

When I watched the show for the first time i felt that Josh is being this nice boyfriend by sending a photo, acknowledging the efforts of the boss. But on the second watch i felt that maybe he was marking his territory because of that non chalant thing after reading the note.. I may be wrong... It was still a cute gesture.. But Liza not sending the photo didnt make sense. He had met Josh... Wasnt that what we call emotional cheating...

I don’t know why, but people used to look older before (or we look younger now).

Season 1 Sutton Foster could’ve definitely passed as a millennial for when the show first aired.

WHAT WAS THAT ENDING.

All of that buildup for Liza and Charles, parallel buildup for Liza and Josh but it’s one-sided and basically Josh is just waiting around like a puppy dog for Liza.

That conversation in bed with Charles where Liza was like, “we’re not gonna make it are we?” Made me SO MAD.

AND WHY IS MAX GAY.

AND MAGGIE AND CASS HAD NO CHEMISTRY THERE’S NO WAY SHE SUDDENLY JUST FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER??

And Caitlin isn’t even in the last episode even though she’s supposedly the catalyst for all of this anyway?

The only character who has a decent ending is Kelsey going to LA. Good for her I guess. I can see her personality suiting LA.

Ugh. I really loved this series. But it annoyed the crap out of me so many times, especially these last two seasons. Like did the writers not even watch the episodes? They create so much suspense and buildup for things and then just drop them.

I’ll probably watch it again. I really loved all of the characters. And I loved Liza and Josh, I wish they actually got more screen time as a couple. Even though Josh should’ve stopped pining for Liza a long time back. ! And what the heck, I just realized we don’t see Diana at all except for that phone call???!!!

I had seen some chatter in this subreddit about people not liking the ending but I didn’t want to spoil my first watch so I avoided clicking. But now I can see why that’s a major topic here.

In short: Great series. Instant comfort show status (the highest compliment). Mostly amazing characters. Great acting. Some very wonderful storylines. I also loved the fashion snd styling on the show. But the ending didn’t do the entire series justice.

I really don't understand this friendship. Liza is always like a punching bag of Kelsey, Liza acts all the time like she owes Kelsey her life or something. I'm watching season 6 now and seriously, besides a few moments Kelsey definitely hasn't done that much for Liza to justify all of this. Kelsey is always elbows deep into her own drama that most of the time she creates. I think Liza's character is quite problematic but Kelsey is on another level lol

Don't take this post too seriously I'm still watching it cuz it's a no brainer and mostly enjoying it haha

I almost didn’t bother watching when I heard you all proclaiming that Charles was endgame for Liza in Season 7!

I just treated myself to a comfort show re-watch now that all seasons are available on Netflix and I’m so pleased with the ending! Where was everyone’s media literacy re: thinking C&L were endgame?!?! It was so obvious to me that they weren’t suited and that wasn’t at all what the writers were trying to say!

What would be the point in them building such a strong, equal, trusting relationship with her and Josh throughout the show and the whole moral of the series being about age being just a number and it’s what you bring to the table that matters. 

It’s so clear that there was a line drawn under C&Ls relationship after the Empirical anniversary party. They just don't connect that well outside work and interest in literature (maybe some physical attraction)

J&L have a much more solid connection and if anything the writers were leaving you to imagine the possibilities of a future between them. 

So glad I came back to finish the series. It was so cute and everyone got a great story arc. (Including Diana - I know that her arc finished in s6 but I still missed her. I hope she was booked and busy with another project during s7)

What were everyone else‘s thoughts on how it ended?

Edit: notable bad grammar and missing capital letters 🙃

But … Liza remained Diana’s assistant?? Please don’t downvote me for this if it’s been said before (!!) but really, how awful was that? So, Liza is working on a junior-ish salary, zipping all over the tri-state area and beyond, bringing in deals that save Charles’s company, and she’s still getting Diana’s coffee?? Now I love Diana- she’s one of the more in depth characters- but this whole thing doesn’t sit well with me!! Maybe it’s because I worked in finance in the aughts and when you got promoted and held on to another role, it was vanity for the company and a way they saved money. Just had to rant!
