.@YoungerTV, created by "Sex and the City" and "Emily in Paris" veteran Darren Star, began as a millennial gag — but its bridging of generational gaps made it a classic, says @LATimesTVLloyd latimes.com/entertainment-…
The series, which premiered on TV Land in 2015, stars a 40-year-old divorcée who passes herself off as 26 to get a job at Empirical Press, restarting the career in publishing she left decades earlier as a young mother latimes.com/entertainment-…
Like “Sex and the City,” @YoungerTV is built mainly around its women.

But they are more emotionally and practically entangled; they work together or live together, and what matters most is the temperature of their relationships latimes.com/entertainment-…
The series leans a little hard at first into gags about intergenerational mutual incomprehension (and Liza almost blowing her cover by forgetting not to act her age).

Read @LATimesTVLloyd's full take on @YoungerTV latimes.com/entertainment-…
We talked to @YoungerTV creator Darren Star last year.

He's been making hit TV shows for 30 years, and he told us all about his past projects — those he's happy about and something he wished he could've changed in hindsight latimes.com/entertainment-…
In uncertain times, TV series like "Younger" are turning the romantic comedy on its head, rejecting notions like "happily ever after" and "one true love" latimes.com/entertainment-…
A year and a half after the end of its sixth season, “Younger” returns today to conclude its business with a seventh on Hulu and Paramount+ latimes.com/entertainment-…

Few workers are in a rush to go back to their office buildings, data show.

But employers are betting that workers will want to return as vaccinations increase and virus fears recede.

@rogervincent reports: latimes.com/business/story…
An average of 24% of employees in 10 major U.S. cities were back to the office as of April 7, down nearly a full percentage point from the week before, according to Kastle Systems. latimes.com/business/story…
The worry for landlords is how much space tenants think they need going forward and whether they still want to work in city centers that many can reach only by long commutes. latimes.com/business/story…

On Friday in Washington, D.C., a bicyclist was killed in a multi-car crash after getting hit by a driver.

For energy reporter @Sammy_Roth, it was personal — the cyclist was a friend of his, Jim Pagels. latimes.com/environment/ne…
As @Sammy_Roth explains in the latest edition of Boiling Point, Jim is one of roughly 850 bikers and 6,200 pedestrians who will likely be killed this year in traffic collisions in the U.S., based on recent years. latimes.com/environment/ne…
Jim’s final tweet — sent a few hours before his death — lamented D.C.'s shortage of safe pathways for cyclists.

Filmmakers shared their memories of the beloved venues.

Via @jenyamato @indiefocus latimes.com/entertainment-…
"Not only has the ArcLight Hollywood been my favorite cinema to see new releases, it has been one of the reasons I have continued to live in Los Angeles — Yep, it’s that deep," Sean Baker (@Lilfilm) says
latimes.com/entertainment-…
"That’s what the ArcLight was — a community. Yes, it was about the movies — but not entirely. It was about the people who came to the ArcLight to watch the movies," says @itslizhannah, who also has strong feelings about the popcorn latimes.com/entertainment-…
