Sharon Horgan's Youth is bawdy fun for most ages
A fiftysomething mom and her teenage son both struggle to find their way in Sharon Horgan's witty and insightful new series.
Sharon Horgan's Youth is an enjoyable comedy that introduces viewers to likable characters quickly. The series premiere, titled "Lockjaw," features its protagonist, Alex, who has lost track of time while watching videos about body enhancements. Despite her initial reluctance to engage in casual sexual encounters, Alex ultimately decides to have sex with her partner, Michael, for the first time in four years.
This decision marks a turning point for the character, as she reflects on her priorities and appreciates the remaining time she has left before aging further.
