In the season 4 premiere of Younger, titled "Post Truth," we reunite with Liza, our favorite 40-something posing as a 20-something, as she takes on yet another identity crisis. Freshly broken up with Josh, Liza is trying to figure out where she fits in in both her personal and professional lives.
At Empirical Press, Kelsey is still navigating the halls of power as the new publisher, and she's not afraid to make a few waves. When her new author, L.L. Moore, reveals a shocking secret that could blow up their entire imprint, Kelsey has to decide whether to stick with the author and risk career suicide or jump ship and take a more conservative approach.
Meanwhile, Maggie and Liza are both dealing with the aftermath of their breakups. Maggie is thrown for a loop when a famous artist takes an interest in her work and Liza starts to realize that Josh may have moved on faster than she did.
There's also a new man in Liza's life, a sexy and intriguing journalist named Don Ridley. But can she trust him or is he just using her to get ahead in his career?
As always, the show's trademark humor and heart are on full display in this episode. From Liza's awkward attempts to fit in with the millennials to Kelsey's cutthroat business tactics, we're reminded why we love these characters even when they make questionable decisions.
But at the heart of the episode is a deeper theme about truth and authenticity in the modern age. As Liza struggles to build a life for herself in a world that values youth and beauty above all else, she's forced to confront the question of whether it's possible to truly be yourself in a society that values image over substance.
Overall, "Post Truth" is a strong start to the season, setting up intriguing storylines for all of the show's main characters while tackling important themes with a light touch. Fans of the show will not be disappointed, and newcomers will find plenty to love as well.
