20 Best Netflix Original Shows
16. Grace And Frankie
By the time it comes to an end with its upcoming seventh season, Netflix's acclaimed comedy-drama Grace and Frankie will be the longest-running series to have appeared on the platform. Watching it for even a handful of episodes makes it clear why it's been able to stick around for so long.
The show follows Grace Hansen (Jane Fonda) and Frankie Bergstein (Lily Tomlin), two women with a strained relationship whose husbands (Sam Waterston and Martin Sheen) admit they're in love with each other and plan to wed. What follows is a consistently amusing riff on love, friendship, and the trials and tribulations of aging and navigating life's curveballs.
The biggest draw of the show, outside of its sharp, sensitive and funny writing, comes with the on-screen partnership of veteran actors Fonda and Tomlin, whose chemistry is blisteringly entertaining and constantly heartfelt.
Between its beautiful life-affirming drama and lovable comedic beats, Grace and Frankie is more than worthy of its success, and deserves to be seen again and again.
