If you’re a Netflix regular, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the show “Grace and Frankie” pop up on your Netflix homepage before. And for those of you not familiar with the series, it stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as opposite personalities-turned-best friends when their husbands come out as gay and in love with each other.
After blowing through all four seasons within a couple weeks because I just couldn’t get enough of it, I have to say that one of my favorite parts of the show is the friendship between Grace and Frankie. They have each other’s backs, and bring out the best in each other, making them true best friend goals. And without giving away major spoilers, here’s why:
1. They have no problem snapping back at each other.
And if the clap back was unwarranted, they have no problem getting over it.
2. They can count on each other for a fun night out on the town
Take notes people. Just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean you can’t get down.
3. They stick together and take each other’s sides when arguing with others.
#Squadgoals right there.
4. They never have to feel embarrassed for being out of the loop.
So what if you’re not pop culture-savvy? They’re not judging.
5. Friends who struggle together stay together
If one’s in pain, so is the other.
6. They can be silly together.
And let’s be honest – humor is crucial in friendship.
7. They know how to calm each other down in even the most stressful circumstances
Frankie is Grace’s rock, and visa versa.
9. They’re there to celebrate each other’s biggest accomplishments
Like when Frankie’s artwork is in a gallery.
10. They give each other compliments that you’d never hear from anyone else
Pointing out your assets one ear at a time.
11. They’re brutally honest.
Because who else is gonna tell you like it is?
12. They love to surprise each other.
Especially when it’s something they know the other will flip over.
13. They love each other
And truly have each other’s backs no matter what.
