“I will admit the first episode is kind of u0026quot;meh.u0026quot; I wasnu0026#39;t thrilled. I mean this was Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda! It should have been rolling funny.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt wasnu0026#39;t. And the second episode? Well… u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut then!! OMGosh!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBy the third episode the writers and cast and crew had found their stride and I was in love. So clever! So funny! So sweet! So engaging! Yes, that is a lot of explanation points but I couldnu0026#39;t help it. The show deserves them all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLily is simply wonderful as Frankie. I mean I fell in love with her. I want her as my BFF. Fonda was wonderful as well as the uptight Grace. She could have played it as a cliché but I was happy to find myself slowly warming up her as the episodes passed. In other words, Fonda showed up the person beneath the outer shell. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI liked Sheen but was crazy about Waterston playing the men who leave their wives to be with each other. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI wasnu0026#39;t crazy about some of the kids, but that wasnu0026#39;t the actoru0026#39;s faults. They did great. I just didnu0026#39;t find them very likable people. But again that was all right. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor instance is Brooklyn Decker cold as Mallory–but she was a chip off her old mother (Fonda). And Fondau0026#39;s other daughter, June Diane Raphael as Brianna, is a bit of a bit*h. But again, she was a product of a mother who was never there and very self involved. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI did however love Ethan Embry as Coyote (one of Tomlinu0026#39;s adopted kids). He is a recovering addict of all kinds and my heart went out to him. The only member of the cast that I was cold to was Baron Vaughn as Nwabudike (the other adopted son). I donu0026#39;t want to be mean but he was terrible. He approached his character as if this show were a 70s sitcom and not a Netflix dramedy–his acting over the top. He jolted me out of the story every time. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI really hope this show comes back for a second season. I loved it!”
