For as long as they can recall, Grace and Frankie have been rivals. Their one-upmanship comes crashing to a halt, however, when they learn that their husbands have fallen in love with each other and want to get married. As everything around the ladies is coming apart, the only thing they can really rely on is each other. This Netflix original re-teams Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin ("9 to 5") as Grace and Frankie, respectively, bringing their chemistry to the small screen. It's a casting reunion on a grand scale, as Tomlin is reunited with her co-star from "The West Wing," Martin Sheen, who plays Grace's husband, Robert. And Fonda is back with Sam Waterston, her co-star from "The Newsroom," who plays Frankie's husband, Sol.

The dynamic between Grace and Frankie [Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin] has become as finely tuned as any of the great sitcom partnerships. Go to Full Review
Heather Hogan Autostraddle 07/02/2018
It's sweet and it's funnier than ever and triumphs abound for Grace and Frankie. Most importantly, though, even with the lazy last story arc, they end as they always do: holding hands, facing the world together. Go to Full Review

4.25/5
Grace and Frankie examines [elder living] from every possible direction with its familiar tones of friendship, comedy, and exasperating family both helping and tossing hurdles into the way of the glorious titular characters. Go to Full Review
Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) 03/12/2018
Showrunner Marta Kauffman's keen eye for character, and plotlines that can be both wistful and twisted, keeps it on rather sharp toes. Go to Full Review
