Sharon Horgans new comedy Youth premieres on streaming platforms, exploring life in ones 50s with wit
Sharon Horgan’s latest series, *Youth*, premiered on streaming platforms on Saturday, offering a comedic yet poignant take on life in one’s 50s. The show stars Horgan as Alex, a literary agent navigating career pressures, family responsibilities, and a confusing situationship while questioning how to reclaim joy in her later decades.
The series opens with a sharp montage of older women achieving extraordinary feats, juxtaposed with Alex’s chaotic reality—dropping her phone on her face after stumbling upon a startling menopause-related video. Horgan, known for *Pulling* and *Catastrophe*, leans into her signature blend of humor and raw honesty, using the opening scene to establish Alex as ambitious yet prone to self-sabotage.
Fans of Horgan’s work will recognize her knack for balancing life’s absurdities with emotional depth. The first episode’s rapid-fire sequence—from social media scrolling to a frantic bus ride—showcases her ability to mine humor from everyday struggles, a hallmark of her storytelling. The series promises to explore the next phase of life with the same wit and insight that defined her earlier projects.
*Youth* is among the weekend’s streaming highlights, alongside titles like *Brothers*, *Unabomber*, and *Columbo* .
