Starring Jane Fonda (84) and Lily Tomlin (82), this series shattered the invisibility myth. It centered on two septuagenarian women navigating divorce, friendship, and sexuality. Notably, the show explicitly discussed sex toys, dating apps, and career reinvention for older women—topics traditionally taboo in mainstream media. The show’s seven-season run proved a massive commercial appetite for stories about mature women.
