The actors and acting in this are marvelous. The story line is very true according to lifetime and life styles of today. The story line if a very funny one, set with two couples that have been married for forty years. The husbands announce they have are gay and have been in love for twenty years. The story is how these couples in their seventies deal with divorce and starting life over. I can not wait to receive and see season 2. Hats off to Sam Waterston, Martin Sheen, Lilly Tomlin, and Jane Fonda.

It's so enjoyable watching these two women act against each other that the other characters seem peripheral. Fonda and Tomlin make this show work. The husbands and children are great for the first episode, but then after the set up, all you want to see is the spirited, honest, hilarious portrayals by these two women. It's like Oscar and Felix afresh! Bravo for making this series.

I didn't want to see this. My wife usually gets movies and such which makes me want to clean the gutters instead. Well, I can't get enough of this show, it's brilliant, period. If anyone watches this and doesn't find at least half of their family in it, they live on the moon. The killer for me is watching Sheen and Waterston acting convincingly as gay men. It's just too wrong, but so good. There are so many reasons this show is right on, but see for yourself.

After viewing it myself, I bought the DVD for a friend who is finding it as engaging as I did. Fonda and, especially Tomlin, play off each other like an old married couple well-versed in their Two-Step dance. The writing is exceptional, and the supporting actors' work, Sheen and Waterston in particular, in addition the actors playing their children, make for fun viewing. Need I say more?

As you can probably tell by who is starring in this sitcom / dramedy -( a rose by any other name.........) This is an intelligent, as well as funny show with multiple layers - many nuances. This middle aged woman has found it the best show around.
