Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin co-star as two women forced to reinvent their lives in this funny, honest new Netflix Original series. Elegant, proper Grace and freewheeling, eccentric Frankie aren't friends, even though their husbands Robert and Sol (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) have been law partners for decades. But when Robert and Sol announce that they're leaving their wives for each other, the two women start to bond in ways they never expected.
This is supposed to be a comedy with plenty of tears. With a cast like this, it should be a fun romp. I am surprised Netflix could get all this talent in one room. Is a second season even possible? I'm not worried since we have 13 episodes to enjoy before that becomes an issue.
Update: Netflix has renewed Grace and Frankie for a second season. I'm glad since I enjoy watching these actors together, though the first few episodes seem to be somewhat dated in their approach to gay relationships. And the children are not as interesting as the brood in Transparent. Maybe it will even out over time.
