Very disappointed to here that Saving Grace has only got one more season after this but at least they have said that they are going to wrap up the story before it ends
If I understand right Grace is cancelled! I hope I'm mistaken!
Returning with new episodes on Monday, March 29, 2010 at 10/9c on TNT.
Grace is a hard nosed detective with a bit of southern charm and no moral boundries given a second chance to save her damned soul. hide show
The show has a different feel to it than most shows. Grace is a detective who lacks any remarkable or extraordinary qualities other than her missing moral compass. Grace is basically a fallen soul who is given a last chance by an angel to redeem her soul and stay out of hell when her days are done. Usually when you think of shows where a person is given a second chance and the revelation of the existance of a higher power the person reforms and changes becoming a decent human being, but not Grace. Grace continues on trying to avoid her miracle choosing damnation over salvation. Grace is a flawed and fun, easily likable, but not as much as she disgusts you. Grace is very much like the people you party with, but would never want involved in your life. As much as you want to root for her you can't help but hope she goes to hell. Show is definitely worth a watch.
Grace solves a crime with the help of a sex swing and some other people. hide show
Saving Grace is a good show. Unfortunately, it's attraction is 65% Holly Hunter, 20% Earl, 14% the rest of the cast, and 1% crime solving. Hunter might as well be acting on a white, blank stage, because nothing else matters when she's onscreen. Unless she's with Earl. Then there's that captivating dynamic of imagining someone actually talking to a guardian angel--and the actor that plays him is pretty awesome too. This particular episode was not up to par with previous episodes. I had to really think back to what had happened (I watched it a week ago), and can't remember much of it other than Grace swinging on a sex swing in the suspect's home (a nice turn by Elias Koteas--the skinhead from the 80's movie 'Some Kind of Wonderful'). I think the problem might be that the show is trying to wear too many hats at one time and therefore is having an identity crisis. Is it a show about redemption? A single woman making it in a hard world? A crime solving show? I could do without the weekly crime solving story and stick to Earl, Grace's mysterious connection to the guy in prison and, sure, her personal interactions with friends and co-workers. Just not at work. Once that's over, start another season long crime mystery...Aha! There it is...one hour is not enough time for Grace to be involved with a crime. It's so tedious. Let's leave that formula to THE CLOSER (which I enjoy btw). They've found a good balance over there for D.C. Brenda Johnson--more crime solving and less personal mess. Grace is all personal mess. I hope to see more of it.
do you believe in second chances? grace hanadarko does. she's a hard living, hard drinking oklahoma city detective who's life is being watched over by her very own angel named earl. hide show
Yeah, yeah. Another cop show. The airwaves are full of them. Saving Grace is worth giving a shot. Grace Hanadarko is a hard living, hard drinking Oklahoma City detective who is spiraling out of control. One night, while driving drunk, she kills a pedestrian and thinks, "oh s**t". a flash of light and appears Earl, a last chance angel. He tells her the accident wasn't real but one day it might. Earl, played perfectly by Leon Rippy, acts as Grace's conscious. Which is a full time job in itself. Grace, Holly Hunter, while being a good detective is a train wreck personally. She's smokes too much, is drunk almost every night, sleeps around and is having an affair with her married partner, Ham. Earl is also last chance angel for the man grace "killed in the car accident", Leon. Leon is a death row inmate. He was sent to prison for dui and while there he killed a prison guard, sending him to death row.
Rhetta is grace's best friend and the pd's medical examiner. Grace's brother John is a priest! Go figure. Those two are the only ones grace tells about her angel friend. Her relationship with Ham is volitile. They're great partners in the field. But Ham is well aware of Grace's past dalliances and is insecure about it. Heck, in quite a few episodes, "just last week, last night" Grace was with another man. Grace and Ham seem to made for each other and Ham eventually leaves his wife.
The remaining supporting cast is excellent as well. My definite fav is Butch. Baily Chase is so hot! Yee-haw!!! by the way, Grace had a thing with butch too. Bobby is Butch's patner, he is quiet, strong and dependable. Bobby is also one of the few men in the dept Grace hasn't slept with, lol. Lorraine Toussaint is wonderful as always as the detectives supervisor, Kate. She's their boss, mother and friend all in one. Grace is definitely a flawed leading lady. Sometimes you wonder why people are drawn to her and if she even deserves their loyalty. But I suppose that's part of the point of the show. No one is perfect and don't we all deserve a second chance? Warning, not a show for the kids! The premiere episode started out with a butt naked Grace and Ham getting it on. The language is not be desired as well. I don't know, is Grace supposed to like like "trailer trash"? And Ham too? Sometimes they look like a couple of crack addicts. When you see her off screen, Holly is actually an attractive woman. All in all, a decent show. I usually dvr it but I haven't missed an ep yet. Saving Grace is worth watching just for Baily Chase.
As bad as watching Chuck Norris or Seven Seagal watching themselves. Holly is pure ego. hide show
I stopped watch Holly after 'The Piano', and she has not changed her true colors. What is with her need to display her body to everyone? It looks like an 80 year old dehydrated corpse. I rented the 1st season from Netflix to watch Ken Johnson, but wow. This is pushing religion to an absolutely retarded level. If this represents Oklahoma cops, wow!! The police chief is killed, then the next scene she's making stupid pancakes for her nephew. She drives the boy in her car without seatbelts, She is constantly drunk and drives. She constantly visits with a death row inmate and all those guards are good with that, being he killed a guard.
What's that saying? " reasonable suspension of disbelief". Way beyond my ability to suspend that much flaw.
I had never watched this show until Amazon added it to my recommended items. I'm so glad I bought it. It is a fabulous cast - an AMAZING cast! A lot of actors that I've liked on other shows (most noteably to me - the actor who played Lemonhead on The Shield). I am three episodes in, and am so glad I have the entire season. One Note: This show is not for kids - and it's great to have good adult TV (it reminds me of shows like Rescue Me, the first season on The Shield, and I can't think of more good adult TV).
