N = Netflix Original
Here are the best new TV shows on Netflix this week:
Grace and Frankie (Season 7 ) N
Seasons: 7 | Episodes: 82
Genre: Comedy | Runtime: 30 Minutes
Cast: Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sam Waterston, Martin Sheen, Brooklyn Decker
Not so much the first half of the seventh season, but more the first quarter. However, after 19 months of waiting, there are finally new episodes of Grace and Frankie ready to be binged on. Better make the most of the four episodes available, as more episodes aren’t arriving on Netflix until 2022.
Retirees Grace and Frankie have always been at odds with each other for most of their lives. Grace is a now-retired cosmetics mogul while Frankie was a hippie art teacher. The one thing they do have in common besides age was that their husbands are successful lawyers in the city of San Diego. The rival’s lives are changed forever when their husbands declare their love for each other and will be leaving their wives. Shaken by this overwhelming change in their lives, the once at odds pair are forced to live with each other and learn together how to cope with their new lives.
