'Grace and Frankie' Tackles Mental Health With Laughs and Tears in Final Season
It’s the end of an era. Netflix’s longest-running original series, “Grace and Frankie,” starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, has dropped its seventh and final season, and I for one am kind of gutted about it. What began as a campy romp highlighting two older women that forge an unlikely friendship after being left by their respective husbands who have fallen in love with one another and want to get married has evolved into a poignant commentary on some really important and sometimes heavy subjects. The final season, while cleverly written and filled with laughs, tackles issues including trauma/intergenerational trauma, addiction, grief/loss, death, healthcare, and dealing with the decline of a loved one with memory loss due to dementia or Alzheimer’s.
