      Season 1 – Grace and Frankie

      2015 Comedy List
      59% Tomatometer 41 Reviews 87% Audience Score 1,000+ Ratings 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. Read More Read Less Watch on Netflix Stream Now

      Emily Hashimoto Bitch Media It is a pleasure to watch [Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin] at work. Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Alison Herman Flavorwire The creation of two '90s sitcom alumni, Grace and Frankie is both more emotionally complex than the average laugh-track show and sunnier than the typical cable dramedy. Aug 11, 2017 Full Review Sonia Saraiya Salon.com Grace And Frankie is plagued by caricature. Nov 13, 2015 Full Review Nabila Hatimy The Star (Kenya) This show is an indication that times have really changed and that life is constant. People will change, time will keep on moving but the most important question is what will you do about it? Jul 17, 2020 Full Review Chuck Barney Contra Costa Times An amusing original series. Nov 13, 2015 Full Review Dillon Paul The Young Folks The writing is brilliant, the acting is superb, and the drug references are hilarious. May 29, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      Sibena R Loved Season 1, and surprised at the negtive reactions to it. Snappy sitcom one-liners? Well, it was created by the lady who created Friends, so no surprise there. And I love sitcoms. I guess I could have poo-poohed the quicksilver repartee, but I was busy laughing, so who had the time? My 20-year-old, who insisted I watch the show, agrees. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Nestor G It's refreshing for new TV show Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Scott W This is a one-joke show, and the joke isn't funny the first time, much less the 50th. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review luke g Though it had some rocky moments at the start, Grace And Frankie is hysterical all the same. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda run the show with playful banter, and a fun dynamic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Can't help but think this is partly inspired by the British TV comedy "Absolutely Fabulous." Doesn't help that Frankie & Grace look like Edwina & Pat, & both series have a husband that left his wife for another man. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Critics of this show only prove they know nothing about good television. I can only hope they choke on the D—K of that high horse they obviously have no clue there riding. 😁 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
