So I watched Grace and Frankie and... I liked it... but I don't really know if its something I can bingewatch... I don't want to not continue watching it, and I realize I'm probably not exactly the Target audience... but I have a few thoughts.
First off Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda are both sooo soo funny in it! They are amazing! They have great chemistry together, they play off of each other really well and they are the stars of the show and the reason I will continue watching it even if I don't totally think its a binge-watch show. I'm most excited to see how their characters will grow and their friendship growing because their husbands left them. Ohh if you didn't know what it was about Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin just find out that their husbands have been having an affair with each other for 20 years and they leave them. So Grace (fonda) and Frankie (tomlin) both move to the beach house that they share... but not together on purpose.
These episodes are all pretty short, but they feel quite long for some reason. I've only seen the pilot so far, maybe thats why it felt so long. In the pilot I already knew what the show was about so it was sort of less interesting to me because its just them finding out pretty much. There was something where I was like "ohh this is really good. This is funny... but predictable." And yeah... it kind of was.
Everyone on the show was funny and everything worked... It just isn't something I can necessarily watch all at once. I could see this being released weekly and it being just as good.
So... yeah. I liked the pilot, I'll continue to watch it... but so far, not my favorite just because it was kind of like I knew everything that was going to happen. The comedy was on point, the heartfelt moments were on point and it was very well made... just a little predictable to me and I feel like I've seen it before.
I also would have liked to have seen a little more character development with Grace and Frankie. I know thats hard to see on the first episode... but there are a lot of shows where you kind of know what is up with the characters based on the first episode. I know Grace is a little uptight, Frankie is kind of a hippie... but that is about it. And I know we'll find out more as the episodes unfold and I'm happy to watch it. I believe Marta Kauffman was a co creator of this... I know she's a producer. She created Friends... and this is a little like the Friends pilot. One girls life completely changed and she moves in with a friend. Same thing with this, but both of their lives completely change.
So all in all thats it. Its a good show I recommend it I just kind of was expecting more in the pilot I guess... and I know I'll get more from the series as a whole... but for now its B+
Byeee!
