Netflix's Longest-Running Show Is Still Massively Underrated After 11 Years

Grace and Frankie has quietly become Netflix’s longest-running original series, holding that title 11 years after it premiered. The offbeat comedy ran from 2015 to 2022 for 94 episodes, the most among Netflix originals to date. Starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as the titular duo, the series forced unlikely companionship after their husbands—Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston’s characters—were revealed to be in love with each other. Despite the celebrity cast and distinctive premise, it never won an Emmy during its run. The show also leaned heavily into themes of aging and family life, building a broader audience over time.
