The second season begins again with a wide range of events, as Seoul still seems to be thinking of telling Robert about betrayal, and Frankie is determined to finally break away from Seoul, but there may be different and unexpected events pulling her back. On the other hand, Brianna wants to produce organic yam lube.
For a story about two women who've been betrayed, abandoned, and forced to rebuild their whole lives in their 70s, Grace and Frankie is a remarkably Zen show -- and, not coincidentally, a remarkably dull one.
Still slow-moving and unsurprising, Grace and Frankie's writing and humor ages better in a second season that feels more like a fully realized - and deeper-cutting - dramedy than its initial debut.
Grace and Frankie has become, therefore, a show about letting go of grudges, being more accepting, and enjoying life -- all very good sentiments that surface rarely in most other current sitcoms.
Grace and Frankie has its flaws, but it remains unlike anything else on television. It knows there are limits and ends to everything, and it's making the most of the time it has.
