One might expect the end of Grace and Frankie to be somewhat of a happy ending

Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris Reverberate One Common Word as They Bid Farewell to Grace and Frankie

After 7 long seasons over a span of 8 years, Grace and Frankie has finally come
to an end. This show brought to viewers a whole new perspective on old age. Old
people aren’t always boring and tired of life as one might expect. But, they
aren’t entirely sorted either. From realizing that the cost of prescription
drugs is a lot to take on, to seeing an old woman come out as bisexual, Grace
and Frankie has stayed unconventional in the best possible way. Now that the
show is nearing its end, here’s what the show’s co-creators Marta Kauffman and
Howard J. Morris had to say.


HOPE, MANIFESTING ITSELF ACROSS ALL CHARACTERS OF GRACE AND FRANKIE

When we spoke about the end of Grace and Frankie, a Netflix Original
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals] surrounding the lives of old
people, one might assume that it is a happy ending that we’re talking about. And
yes, the characters, in true Grace and Frankie fashion, receive the happiest and
most befitting endings, but it is not an “end“, per se.

The one word that both the writers of the Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] series keep repeating is “hope.” When
asked about the show’s legacy, Marta Kauffman only said
[https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/goodbye-grace-and-frankie-the-shows-creators-look-back],
“as for the legacy, my hope is that, for the people who watched, we reminded
them that there’s always hope.” Even Howard Morris assented to this, adding
“it’s the idea of having hope and the idea that you can start your life over at
any point. That resonates through the whole series.”

We also see the word hope manifesting itself across all characters of the show
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/grace-and-frankie], especially the protagonists.
Initially, the two women could only hope to survive the dissolution of their
respective marriages. But, over the course of time, we see a different version
of hope in an entirely different version of the characters as both the women
find a new life for themselves and are more content than ever.

One might expect the end of Grace and Frankie to be somewhat of a happy ending, but this word makes us think otherwise.
