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.

Rachel Charlene Lewis Bitch Media 07/22/2020
Grace and Frankie feels more like a lighthearted sitcom about two families rather the buddy comedy it was originally billed as. Go to Full Review
Lorna Codrai Film Inquiry 05/06/2020

Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice 01/17/2020
If the writing feels familiar, the performances always feel witty and refined, like two masters easily pulling off material they could do in their sleep. Go to Full Review
Marshall Estes The Spool 01/16/2020
The series's sixth season is good preparation for its seventh and final one, setting up some new character arcs while being a fun ride in its own right. Go to Full Review

3/5
Complex TV relationships and characters tend to max out by age 50, which is why, despite the show's flaws, I could watch Grace and Frankie's existential journeys over and over again. Go to Full Review

dave d @RT34924333 07/30/2021 G & F goes into some new directions, but remains loyal to its fanbase by playing the hits. It will still make you laugh, perhaps not as often. Like a cherished friend, be willing to overlook some of its faults for all the joy and comfort it brings you! See more 12/03/2020 I love this show!! It's great to have a show that I can relate to. For some reason when you reach 60 people think you don't think about or enjoy sex . They think we are to old to still experience new things in life. Grace and Frankie show that life does go on for older people. We can start a new business and continue doing most of things we have in life, just a little slower. Please renew this show. I watched the series for the first time early last year and after re-watching it for the 4th time, I'm enjoying it again Season 4 Episode when Saul's friend from the cruise meets Robert.

Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen, and Sam Waterston are divine. Well written, superbly executed, bring on Season 7! See more 03/08/2020 Best season of them all....never laughed so hard. Ending was absolutely perfect. Great job everyone.... With only one final season left, am hoping it'll be amazing. I'm going to miss the gals and the guys. See more 03/03/2020 Great show and wonderful acting by all. Love Fonda and Tomlin they look like they really love each other. Their characters are so perfectly acted. All seasons were perfect, though hard to outdo the first one. Keep it going! See more 02/03/2020 I continue to love the show, which is overall a delightful display of keeping family bonds, while fighting for one's voice and individuality. It also shutters some glass ceilings regarding the limitations we face as we age. While not perfect, it felt very raw, particularly because every character had a strong sense of personality. Since I valued this aspect so much, I found the 6th season disappointing. The characters are often times unrecognisable, as they face some plot twists that feel awkward, forced, and hurried. We may be able to see some new sides of the characters in this way, however consistency should not be sacrificed to the point that you're asking whether these are the same people you followed through for five years. I guess it is a matter of degree. If the nature of the events were as shocking as the characters' responses seemed to indicate, maybe it wouldn't have felt as shallow. See more Read all reviews
