    In almost every way Grace And Frankie steps up its game for its second season. Though many of the changes are subtle, they result in a season far more worthy of Tomlin and Fonda’s considerable talents.

    Grace and Frankie might be tripping and stumbling down the path of their golden years, but at least Grace and Frankie itself is showing some sense of gracefully aged--if predictably presented--wisdom.

    Their characters may be distilled a little too directly from their past roles, and they can’t always bring the more ponderous dialogue to life--Ms. Tomlin sometimes seems to be reciting it in a trance. But when they’re together onscreen, they appear to be having a lot of fun, which is infectious.

    I love this show and am surprised by the critics reviews. I'm in a business group with women that range in age of 20s - 60s and someoneI love this show and am surprised by the critics reviews. I'm in a business group with women that range in age of 20s - 60s and someone brought up this show during casual conversation one day. So many women in the group chimed in on how much they love this show so I know I'm not alone in my feelings.
    What I find special about this show is the sincerity. So many shows are steeped in sarcasm, irony, or just mean spiritedness so this makes Grace and Frankie a special gem. Its refreshing to watch a show like this.
    The cast works so well together. Its just fun to see such gifted actors get a chance to really shine in a show that's so enjoyable.
    I wish there were more shows like this. Hopefully with the emergence of Netflix and Amazon produced shows there will be.    … Full Review »

    I was hesitant at first but I dove in to this pool and now love this show and have just binge-watched the second season. Great acting,I was hesitant at first but I dove in to this pool and now love this show and have just binge-watched the second season. Great acting, story-line, and writing. It's very funny, witty, relevant. The main actors are all in their seventies playing like-aged characters. It's encouraging and hopeful that folks of a certain age, especially women, can stay relevant, hopeful, strong, but most of all...funny. Really, everyone is spot-on funny. And the ever beautiful Jane is a great Abbott to handsome Lily's Costello. Thanks, Netflix.… Full Review »
