Younger: cast, plot and everything we know

2 months ago | whattowatch.com | Louise Okafor

All seven seasons of Younger, have recently dropped on Netflix (Tubi, in the UK) and the fast-paced fan-favorite, starring Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff, is already winning over new viewers following its launch on the platform. Set in New York’s glamorous, but cutthroat publishing world, it follows the adventures of 40-something, (almost) divorced mom-of-one, Liza Miller, as she tries to forge a career path in the industry by pretending to be a 26-year-old millennial.

It’s about family ties. About love lost and found. It’s a story about belonging and being on the outside. It’s also a story about the UK. Its humor, regional accents and most of all its culture.
Priscilla review: Sophia Coppola's Elvis do-over — more pastel, less panache

Nov 3, 2023 | whattowatch.com | Louise Okafor

It’s hard not to contrast Priscilla, Sophia Coppola’s Priscilla Presley biopic, with 2022’s Elvis extravaganza from the king of showbiz, Baz Luhrmann. At every turn, they are striking counterpoints. Where Luhrmann's movie was glitzy, vibrant, dynamic and focused on Elvis the icon, Coppola’s movie is meditative and dreamy, its colors are muted and the pacing is slow (sometimes tediously so).
