Anyone else given Grace and Frankie a whirl? I'm into episode 3 and liking it so far. Stellar main cast of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen, and Sam Waterston. Basically two couples are thrown into chaos when the husbands, who are partners in a law firm, announce that they have been having a gay relationship for 20 years and are leaving their wives to marry each other. That forces the mis-matched wives (Grace, played by Fonda, and Frankie, played by Tomlin) into a sort of, kind of friendship. Their adult children get sucked along for the ride, providing a fairly good supporting cast (admittedly, the only one of them I have any knowledge of is former model Brooklyn Decker).
The nice thing is that there are no villains or heroes here. While the men initially come off as rather selfish for how they've handled things, their relationship is nicely portrayed and quite romantic while the women, who initially come off as stereotypes and rather self-centred themselves (Grace as a stressed out, high-living retired businesswoman, Frankie as a rather flaky, New Age-y flower child artist), warm up and develop as characters as they cope with the situation.
