About this Show
Youth
From Sharon Horgan (HBO's Divorce) comes a wry and witty comedy series that follows 50-year-old divorcée Alex's (Horgan) search for sex and love while juggling caring for her ailing parents and 19-year-old son. Continually pulled in multiple directions, Alex looks forward to a bit more time for herself when her son Ruari (Aran Murphy) heads to university in Kent. But after Ruari unexpectedly returns to London, Alex is forced to shift gears as she balances her busy job as a book agent for her boss/friend Sam (Sharlene Whyte), looking after her parents and son, and an active dating life – finding herself drawn to charismatic bachelor Patrick (Rupert Friend) and other potential love interests. Hilarious and heartfelt, Youth offers a shrewd commentary on the unique pressures that women face in their sixth decade of life.
