Younger is having its #MeToo moment.

When it comes to popular culture, finding ways to tackle the contemporary moment, and its global movements, can be fraught with peril. Do you ignore it and risk being branded ignorant? Do you brush over it and risk being branded insensitive? Or do you tackle it head-on and risk being branded hamfisted, ignorant and insensitive?

The first episode in season 5 of Younger (Stan, Wednesdays) tackles sexual harassment and while it is a big subject to bite off in a 22-minute episode, and some of the bits might get stuck in your teeth, the show's depiction of what many women face in the workplace isn't ham-fisted at all.

In the offices of Empirical Press, the curmudgeonly novelist Edward L.L. Moore (Richard Masur​), the writer of the fantasy series Crown of Kings, is king. His book series is one of the struggling publishing house's best sellers and the latest hotly anticipated instalment in the hugely popular series (think Game of Thrones) is about to be released.

But in the lead-up to the book's launch it becomes apparent that Mr Moore has been far from appropriate with a number of female staff members, including the show's heroine/anti-heroine and book editor Liza (Sutton Foster).
