“Grace and Frankie,” a Netflix Original series created by “Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris, looks great on paper. Well, its cast does: anchored by Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin who are supported by Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston. They do what they do: their jobs. But the writing … it’s insipid. And it’s not like the lines could be delivered any better. This is a comedy with few laughs. Plus, those laughs, when they come, are weak. Actually, this show works a little better when it skews toward drama. After watching the first two episodes (I couldn’t make it past episode three), I wouldn’t call this bad, but it’s not that good either. It’s OK. And frankly, I’m getting tired of that.

Verdict: OK

About: (Source: gracefrankie)

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin co-star as two women forced to reinvent their lives in this funny, honest new Netflix Original series. Elegant, proper Grace and freewheeling, eccentric Frankie aren’t friends, even though their husbands Robert and Sol (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) have been law partners for decades. But when Robert and Sol announce that they’re leaving their wives for each other, the two women start to bond in ways they never expected.
