Watch it! Just watch it, I don't need to explain why, you'll see.
Ok, in case you do need me to explain why: It's very well written, perfectly balancing dark and funny, with characters you actually care about, twists and turns you don't see coming. Also, if you're a fan of the comic: It is nothing like the comic, apart from her white hair and the fact that she's a zombie.

This ain't your (grand)mother's Barbarella! Grace and Frankie shows how two families have to reassemble and readjust their lives when two of their members decide to finally follow their heart. You see the good and the bad. The stoic sarcasm (Fonda) and the heartbreaking acceptance (Tomlin). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll learn not to do peyote on a beach at night, alone.

Give it a shot. Why not? We all know nothing will ever be Firefly, so it's unfair to compare. The first two episodes will scream Firefly at you, but don't let them. Be strong. Let the show stand on its own merit. So, think Farscape with better effects and fewer mindfucks. Also hotter dudes. Much, much hotter dudes!
Did I mention Nick Slaughter is in it? (and if you don't know who that is, I pity your embargo-free childhood!)

It has potential. After seeing the promo, I had high hopes for it, but episodes 2 and 3 let me down some. The main character, Buddy, has a crazy streak of good luck that requires and equally crazy amount of suspension of disbelief. You'd think a person thrown into the role of a pastor would do some research, that a person on the run from a criminal kingpin would try to keep a low profile. Not Buddy! I realize that he's supposed to be the lovable loser, but it this borders on stupid.
Sara Rue is wonderful, as always. Michael Rosenbaum builds a convincing character, but again, I don't think said character would have made it to his mid-thirties by being so bloody stupid.

If you want to watch somebody jump into people's brains and solve murders through the knowledge this process provides, while taking on some of the traits of the deceased, go watch iZombie. Seriously, it's way better and, as weird as this sounds, more plausible.
There are two good things in this show. One being Allison Scagliotti (but you can see her as a spunky scientist in Warehouse 13, too) and the Engineering guy. I would love to read that dude's blog about all the shit with which he has to put up from the rest of the staff of the Stitchers programme.
