Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
dashopaholic Having LOVED Touched by An Angel and Joan of Arcadia, I wasn't sure how I would like this one. Grace is a hard drinking, swearing, promiscuous woman. But she is also a woman who is an outstanding police detective with a very strong sense of right and wrong. She really does have principals! It truly was an outstanding series. It reminds us all that G-d loves you no matter what you have done; are going to do; and He forgives us for our very human shortcomings. It is also a timely reminder that G-d uses real men and women to do His work. The apostles were NOT saints! They were flesh and blood men who like all men had their flaws. Yet G-d used them to spread the Gospel of Christ and to found the Christian church. It's a comfort really to know we too can serve G-d and survive this earthly plain intact even with our flaws. I do find it really weird though that Joan of Arcadia was canceled after 2 seasons...just when she was actually going to start confronting evil in season 3. The top dogs of Saving Grace did the same thing to this show. I have no doubt, if they had been given time, we would have seen some phenomenal story lines the next season. I am grateful, however, that the powers that be did allow them 3 additional episodes to tie up this series. Every actor chosen for this series was outstanding! I hope we will see many of them in the future in other series.SERIES SPOILER AHEAD: While I was truly saddened to see Grace die in the final episode, I thought it was fitting. She had already had her garden of Gethsemane and knew she was going to be used for something horrific, awesome, G-d honoring. Her death was NOT for naught. While WE cannot destroy evil, we CAN most certainly thwart it. Grace did exactly that. She lived up to her principles right to the very end.
therecordmail Saving Grace is one of the most well written, well shot, well casted shows that ever was. It is a crying shame that it had to end so soon. Every episode was crafted to develop characters (make you fall in love with each one), develop story (drag you into the world of each character), and make you question reality (develop a consciousness for the unknown, which mass-media/Hollywood usually does not, without adding an agenda). On a personal note, I love Holly Hunter. She is a genius. I would love to meet her and pick her brain! I would also love to meet the writers, producers and directors, and/or work with them at some point in my life. The only beefs I have with this show is its' short life and the last episode. I have tried to imagine a better ending, and cannot come up with one on my own, but I know in my heart, that there should have been more justice done for the lead character, regardless of budget and any other matters. By the way I have seen all three seasons 5 times, working on the sixth, and still trying to pinpoint all things that make this show as wonderful as it is, in hopes that I may create something as equally great one day.
Jamie Bonner Okay, I ran out of shows to watch on Netflix and I love TV series as they keep me busy. I ran out of all the good ones, so I decided to try this one. It is not bad, but not great. I would say it is "good." The premise is unique with the angel and redemption, etc. Is a nice little twist to your basic cop show. The actors are okay and Holly is okay, other than the fact she overplays her character. Okay, we get it, you love sex with, well, anyone, you are kinky, you love to drink and chain smoke...and, you love to be naked on camera. A tad too gratuitous for me. She is like a scrappy little teen boy on meth, so you have to be awake...wide awake to follow her hyper character. The story lines are pretty good and not typical. I would recommend this show, but it does not compare to Breaking Bad or Dexter, for example. P.S. See if you can handle her speech impediment and boyish mannerisms... if so, then go for it!
ceebriggs I loved "Saving Grace". It was admittedly hard to watch sometimes, but a great allegory about human frailty, separation from God and redemption. It had gems for the lead characters and perfectly showed how as humans we can lose faith in ourselves and the world but there is a door we can choose to walk through where the light awaits us. Holly Hunter was excellent as the self-destructive cop who has lost her faith, seemingly loves only family and her beloved bulldog, and is the only one who can see Earl, (the angel), played brilliantly by the wonderful Leon Rippy. The other standout is Laura San Giacomo, Medical Examiner, Grace's lifetime friend and woman of profound faith. The musical score was always an added treat and the final episode was all I hoped it would be and more!
