life-affirming and transcendental show..


from the acting, the realistic honesty of the plots/life situations and circumstances, and the amazing chemistry between the main characters to the uplifting combination of sad and touching tender moments and hilariously rip-roaring explosions, this show is a gift of life-affirming goodness..

without a doubt the most honest, poignant and realistic look at 'life' ever put into episodic format..

finally, i'd like to say that, in my humble opinion, these amazing actors -fonda, tomlin, sheen, waterston et al.- put in the finest work i have ever seen them put in before in any of their previous endeavors.. from this point forward, i shall forever remember this as their finest acting hour..

i am now totally taken and enamored with jane fonda and lily tomlin.. totally! lily i already loved but jane has become a revelation to me.. forget what you thought you knew of her.. she will blow your mind in her depiction of grace hanson.. can't get enough of this woman!


it wasn't the fall from her 16th-floor penthouse that killed her, it was the landing

I agree wholeheartedly! The show has a generosity in it towards its characters that I love. We're allowed to see the strengths and the weaknesses of each character but always through this lens of accepting and delighting in who they are.
