As Liza approached the bar, the same one in the series’ first episode, and failed to grab the bartender’s attention, Josh slipped in next to her and the pair — though no longer in a relationship — had the same flirty exchange as the one they shared back then.
It may not be this idyllic Hollywood romance that people are looking for but they will always be in each other’s lives in one way or another.
It was the first time Josh stopped relying on external validation from a female partner or a romantic partner, and stepped up to the plate and really started taking care of himself so he could take care of his daughter.
I want to know where he goes and what he’s doing and how he raises his daughter and how Inkburg grows and who he starts dating and what his world looks like after this.
You mentioned something I didn’t think about until now, but it makes sense — that Josh is at a similar point at the end of Younger where Liza was at the start of the series.
I am so grateful that the writers were able to figure that out, that production was able to figure it out from a schedule standpoint that that was going to be my last day.
Does it mean they’ll never have sex again? I don’t know! Potentially, you know? Potentially there’s room for an advanced, complex relationship but I don’t think that that is what we’re alluding to at the end of this show.
I will say this, I do think that the nature of television in general creates this world where the writers of the show create one storyline and then the marketing department creates another storyline and the fans get something in between.
I think there’s more story to be told and there’s a really compelling narrative there about a single father raising a daughter in 2021 and what that means living in New York City and owning tattoo shops.
I think I maybe worked with Peter Hermann one day in seven years when I punched him in the face, that was the only thing.
