If Younger, then The Bold Type

Younger is known for defying (or having fun with) ageism in the work place. Liza Miller, 40, played by Sutton Foster, is under the guise of a 20-something to get a job in the publishing company while trying to conceal a lengthy maternity leave on her resume. Like, raising-a-kid-til-college lengthy.

Yeah. That may or may not work out so well. But, as everyone knows, she meets super-sweet and sexy tattoo artist Josh (played by Nico Tortorella) who's a whole TWO DECADES younger than her. Eeep!

The show is an hour-long adrenaline rush (will she or won't she get found out?) and there are plenty of characters to fall in love with. From her nose-in-the-air elder boss and her sweetheart artist roommate to her BFF played by Hilary Duff to her bisexual, millennial-fluent sidekick Lauren (Molly Kate Bernard), there are plenty of characters and scenarios to relate to, have fun with, get giddy over, and gossip about.

And, as a woman who may or not be having a midlife crisis, there may or may not be a second love interest. This is where it really gets interesting!

No spoiler alerts here. That's all I'll tell you.

You'll thank me later.

Once the magic of Younger has inevitably ended, and you've binge-watched yourself into a "showhole," as Netflix defines the terrible, lonely moment in between shows, you'll need something to fill the void.

And that, my friends, is where The Bold Type comes in.

It's as though you're leaving your favorite college and moving on to the next one, while sticking to the same major: fashion business, English, or magazine journalism.

The best part about The Bold Type is that you feel like you fit right in. There are three friends: one who's a tomboy, one who's a girly girl, and one who loves taking risks and speaking up about social issues.

The Bold Type has that same millennial energy that Younger brings to the table—without the awkward "what is that?" question and explanation directed at TV Land's boomer audience.

Freeform's The Bold Type was made for millennials. In it, you'll find strong, young women shattering the glass ceiling. You'll find bisexual escapades, tears from deep, real-life issues, and a blood-boiling resentment for some men who have wronged them.

Okay. Maybe that last one is just me.

But you do get invested into these characters as quickly—maybe even quicker—than you do while watching Younger. The three friends are constantly navigating their next steps in life, whether that's marriage, a relationship, or a relationship with themselves. The best part? It's career-focused, so it delves deep into that gray area after college and before kids. These women in their mid-20s are trying to live their best lives in downtown NYC, and the city isn't as forgiving.

As a cherry-on-top to relatable drama and excitement, it helps that all of the episodes are sprinkled with designer clothing. The girl trio looks so sophisticated, and I look forward to seeing the latest fashion, since, after all, they do all work for a fashion magazine.

When you're immersed in The Bold Type, you feel like you're out for a night on the town with your girls. There's so many flings, love stories, setbacks, achievements, and challenges that these girls experience that you can't help but feel like they truly are your friends.

And you can't help but want to work at a magazine like Scarlett.

As for when The Bold Type ends? Well, fans will just demand it back for another season.

In a Kat-like fashion, fans posted their heartache from the show's incomplete ending on Twitter. Knowing Kat (Aisha Dee), she would pump her fist, shout into a megaphone, or simply post a controversial photo on her Instagram to start important conversations. The Bold Type's fans did just that, and they got what they wanted.

That's the power of today's millennials. And they never had to fake it to make it.
