Mary McNamara: Netflix’s longest-running show just ended. You wouldn’t know from the sendoff it got

Marta Kauffman's Netflix series "Grace and Frankie" came to an end last Friday, and I don't think we are making a big enough deal over this.

Still sticking with its signature binge model, Netflix is not and never has been about finales, just as it has never been about premieres. After a brief moment in the sun of "Trending on Netflix," each subsequent season of every show is simply shoved into the streamer's overstuffed library, neither celebrated nor mourned.

"Grace and Frankie," which stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin and became, in absolutely related news, the streamer's longest-running show, deserved something better, something special.
