Grace and Frankie boasts an excellent cast - Martin Sheen, Jane Fonda, Sam Waterston, and Lily Tomlin - and a creator with a reputation for sitcom genius (Marta Kauffman, co-creator of Friends), but the ingredients haven't quite mixed as well as they should.

It sees the lives of the two women turned upside down when their husbands announce that they're leaving them, so that they can be together.

Sheen and Waterston make for good viewing as a couple, but the show falls back into cliche and doesn't really deliver much more. It's not bad, it's just sort of there, and hasn't really broken out the way some other Netflix comedies have.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
