A 30 something hot mess has today revealed that she can now only find herself relating to TV shows, now that’s moved up into the 30-39 age bracket.
Speaking to The Advocate, Steph Edmondson says that unlike every other person her age, who seem to have a partner, a nice apartment and a decent paying job, she’s still stuck being a bit of a drop kick – which means a lot of the TV shows she grew up watching are no longer relatable, because all the characters in a similar situation are in their early twenties.
“I love Broad City, but they’re like, 22”, says Steph, with a huff, “and yeah, the Friends characters eventually turn 30, but by then, a lot of them have stable careers and I’m pretty sure Monica was pregnant by 31.”
Steph says she can no longer rewatch shows like Gossip Girl and The OC without feeling ‘old as fuck’, which is why she’s whittled he yearly reruns to just two shows – Sex and The City, and Fleabag.
“I fucking loved Sex and The City in my twenties, and now that I’m 32, it’s even better.”
“It’s perfect. They’re all in the thirties – pretty sure Samantha was forty something in the first season – and still making the DUMBEST decisions.”
“And Fleabag. God, it’s time to watch Fleabag again.”
Steph adds that the show ‘New Girl’ also gets an honorary mention, but that Zooey Deschanel’s hair is just too nice for it to be relatable.
More to come.
