Why not? She's an actress.

I watched all the episodes. I thought the show was good. Oddly, I thought Fonda was the not as strong as Tomlin and Waterston. Waterston's character was so well delineated, and such a departure from other characters I've seen him play. He is an excellent actor.

I had the hardest time believing in the Sheen character, but as the story progressed, he became more believable to me.

Fonda has apologized for posing on a gun in Hanoi more than once. Her problem is that she allowed herself to be a tool for propaganda during wartime, and she should have known better. But there were plenty of people demonstrating in the streets against the war at that time, and they are not held accountable for their actions now. So, to Fonda haters--I say give it up. You don't have to watch her, but she should not be taking up space in your head now. She did not affect the outcome of that ill advised war.

I am happy to know that they are beginning filming of another season.

Isn't it funny how American TV is turning out like British TV?
