The Young and the Restless

The Young and the Restless is currently streaming in the US on fuboTV and Paramount Plus Premium, and it earns its romantic beats rather than assuming them. 53 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped.

There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on fuboTV.

There is a reason The Young and the Restless keeps coming up in conversation. The Young and the Restless earns its romantic beats rather than assuming them — a rarer quality than it sounds. The rivalries, romances, hopes and fears of the residents of the fictional Midwestern metropolis, Genoa City. The lives and loves of a wide variety of characters mingle through the generations, dominated by the Newman, Abbott, Baldwin and Winters families. 53 seasons (1973–2026) gave the story room most shows never get. The Young and the Restless understands that tension needs a believable reason to exist, not just narrative convenience. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

The Young and the Restless is ideal for viewers who want romance served with real character development. Days of Our Lives is the obvious comparison, but The Young and the Restless earns its own place alongside it. 53 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. You believe every beat of it, which is the whole job. You will have strong feelings about it by the finale.

The Young and the Restless is currently airing new episodes, created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
