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. Read full review

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

That balance of gimmicky and profound undulates throughout the season. ... But the cuckoo is stitched together by the heft of Fonda and Tomlin’s performances and the intimacy of the writing when the show manages to take a step back and give the characters a beat for self-analysis. Read full review

At a time when series like Transparent and Getting On have explored later-in-life identity crises with greater depth, it’s hard to watch these women’s serious problems defused with sad spinster humor. Vin Diesel aside, the problem isn’t that Grace and Frankie are old and out of touch. It’s that the show is. Read full review

Ken Tucker

May 6, 2016

Grace and Frankie has become, therefore, a show about letting go of grudges, being more accepting, and enjoying life--all very good sentiments that surface rarely in most other current sitcoms. Still, there’s the matter of actually being funny, which the show is, most of the time, not. At its worst, G&F goes for that most obvious of current sitcom clichés. Read full review

Incredibly good show; it is all about getting old, the grief of letting go of the past, love and illusions, self-esteem and self-worth, one's place in this universe but with a pinch of salt and a lot of humor.

The season was a little slow getting started, but WOW every episode delivered a different and insightful look at a variety of issues relating to the process of aging. Some episodes are very sad. Not bad, just emotional. The jokes are still funny, but sometimes you're laughing through tears.The season was a little slow getting started, but WOW every episode delivered a different and insightful look at a variety of issues relating to the process of aging.

I absolutely loved the last episode where Grace and Frankie realize their self-worth and go back out into the world together to conquer the market for senior female arthritically correct vibrators. You go girls!… Expand

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.

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.… Expand

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 someone brought up this show during casual conversation one day.

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.… Expand
