    "Perfect"
    Worlita, While I understand your point of view, you must understand the writers' as well. The point they were conveying was honest. MANY people start and live their lives in this way that Grace did, yet they turn it around. In my personal opinion, it was authentic, realistic, not "sugar coated" like many other tv series that touch on sensitive subjects such as religion, angels, etc. I think it was refreshing to finally have someone show what REALLY happens sometimes in life. I'm not saying it's true of everyone, but MANY ppl live their lives that way and find a calling and turn it around. I LOVED this show, and I wish that they would bring it back. Our society is soooo quick to judge, and always want to sugar coat reality instead of showing what it really is! Saving Grace was realistic, to the point, and very touching.moreless
  • What a let-down! I'm so dissapointed.

    4.5
    "Poor"
    Great show with great actors, but the finale was a complete dissapointment that made absolutely no sense. I was a total fan of this show up until the ridiculous, lame series finale. As a fan I could have come up with several different endings that were better than what was aired. I don't know what went on behind the scenes as far as staff and network cancellation are concerned, but the viewers are the ones who got cheated in the end. The writers should be ashamed of their work here. They should take notes from the writers of The Tudors series finale - now that's how you end a tv series!moreless
  • An abrupt (and not in a good way) finale

    4.5
    "Poor"
    Many shows have trouble finding a fitting end, few actually pull it off. Lost was the most recent that got closest to it, the remake of Battlestar Galactica almost but then ruined by a cameo and too obvious metaphor. Saving Grace on the other hand ended with what on paper sounds like a shocking ending but in delivery was truly absurd. After 3 seasons of pretty decent television (and a few rocky episodes) viewers were left with the feeling of 'Why did I bother?'. If the show was actually trying to ridicule religion or belief systems then perhaps it actually worked on that level. Like Earl's expression in the last few frames perhaps the viewer was mean't to think 'God's plan is garbage then...'. Personally though I don't think the show was being that clever and would imagine it was a poorly contrived method of pulling on the heartstrings (cue the cliched ballad by The Calling during the end sequence). That clearly went drastically wrong. The bluntness at which the devil/demon informed Grace about her sister's necklace and the speed of her reaction/the explosion just didn't gel. I am sure the team behind Saving Grace will clap themselves on the back for provoking such a strong reaction from the fans for the ending. However they will be wrong in doing so as this wasn't a clever though unsettling ending like say The Sopranos or The Shield. It was just disappointing.moreless
  • I'm so sad this show is over.

    9.5
    "Superb"
    It's the best show on tv right now. Someone outta do something about that. I'm sure Grace can either come back as an angel or just come back.

    The ending was very dramatic. I can't believe she died. It can't be over!!! No! Say it isn't so!!!

    I have 53 more characters to put in this space, so I'm going to ask if anyone knows how we can get in touch with these people and insist they keep making this series. Holly Hunter should be on tv all the time. She's an amazing actor. Her mannerisms are impeccable. Hanadarko was my idol!moreless
  • Grace is a devil lover. Some angel (tom from lost) comes to annoy her. Waste of my time.

    "Bad"
    Grace is a beer drinking smoker that cusses like a sailor. Then some angel shows up. Some guy wrote a review about how good of a christian show this is. WRONG!!!! Unless christians love shows with sex, profanity, and violence (grace hits people and runs over a guy). I wasn't sure what kind of show this is, but i believe it has something to do with solving crimes. It's like a cheesy religious show with a murder mystery thrown in. Holly hunter is an award winning actor? This woman is a skeleton that probably has drug problems in real life. My aunt julie was on crack and her skin got a pale and wrinkly just like holly hunter. Molly holly needs to check into rehab and eat some cheeseburgers.

    No need for me to continue watching. TNT should cancel this show after they see the ratings for next weeks show.moreless
