Hollywood tends to create shows with younger female lead characters and often forget to cater to more mature audiences, however, they hit it home with the Netflix Original Grace and Frankie. Not only does this show relate to mature audiences but younger generations as well. The whole cast is charming and hilarious. It's the bond of Grace and Frankie when they join together after they find out their husbands are having an affair with each other, that gives this show depth. Grace and Frankie are polar opposites in character, but have amazing chemistry together and get into some pretty ornery situations. At first, these two seemed defeated by everything but end up realizing they just needed to find the strength within themselves. With this, they created a dream and started working to achieve it.
If I had to choose a favorite character then Frankie would be it! Her creative artistic spirit is the most refreshing character I have seen for quite some time. Grace is just as entertaining with her equally strong, but more frigid approach to life. Regardless of their differences, they are both bold women willing to take on challenges, regardless of their age, to find happiness and security through their own strengths, and not from a marriage.
This show passes the Bechdel Test with flying colors.
