Rivals Grace, a buttoned-up ex-cosmetics executive, and Frankie, a hippie art teacher, end up sharing a beach house after their husbands, law partners for forty years, announce they are in love and getting married.
Starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen
Sitcom fans who prefer chemistry to plotting will be happy here, and the jokes land best when the whole ensemble crowds one scene. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin play the prickly pairing like a real friendship, and Sam Waterston gives Sol a puppyish warmth. Early on the husbands cut off the wives' credit cards, and Frankie chooses to stay with Grace anyway.
The first season leans on the setup and loosens up as it goes, so give it room.
