Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

There are very few television shows that revolve around a single figure to the extent that Saving Grace does. Then again, there are even fewer that can boast an actor as good as Oscar winner Holly Hunter in the lead role, and Hunter draws on her considerable chops and charms to bring to life a character who, while certainly sympathetic, isn’t always especially likable. Her Grace Hanadarko, a detective working for the Oklahoma City Police Department’s Major Crimes division, is a mess. We’re barely into the pilot episode (the first of thirteen comprising the show’s first season) before we discover that her married partner is just one of Grace’s many bedmates (promiscuous is one way to describe her; slut is another), and that she’s a heavy smoker and drinker and a foul-mouthed, habitual liar. And that’s on her good days. There are reasons for all of this, of course--turns out that the death of her sister in the 1995 terrorist bombing that claimed 168 lives is just one of them--but it’s only when Grace commits a particularly stupid and reckless act that the potential for redemption appears in the form of Earl (Leon Rippy), a tobacco-chewing good ol’ boy who just happens to be an angel. A "last chance angel," to be exact, who suggests that if Grace will simply turn herself over to God, good things will ensue.

It won’t be easy. Despite Earl’s good-natured appeals (along with an occasional spectacular display of God’s awesome powers), Grace is nigh on incorrigible. And while each episode features a crime of some sort, ranging from murder and child abduction to the theft of a million-dollar statue of a steer, creator-writer Nancy Miller (who was an executive producer for The Closer, another TNT series with a strong female lead) focuses much more on Grace’s ongoing struggle to accept Earl’s presence ("Why me?" she asks. "I don’t know," comes the reply) and do something to clean up her life. The show’s bluesy, authentic music (including Everlast’s title tune), dry sense of humor, and sexy tone (Hunter, looking very buff, is nearly nude on numerous occasions) are all positive elements; so’s the supporting cast, especially Rippy and Laura San Giacomo (as a police examiner who’s Grace’s best pal). But Saving Grace is all about Holly Hunter, and by and large that’s a very good thing. Bonus features include audio commentary by Miller and others on two episodes and several short featurettes. --Sam Graham

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Series Written with Heart and Soul April 8, 2008
Format:DVD
This series deals with such intense, fascinating topics as to make it WAY ABOVE the typical lightweight stuff we get on the tube. We follow the adventures of a not-very-sorry sinning police officer, haunted by the ghosts of the Oklahoma bombing, as she navigates the tricky depths of saving her immortal soul. Grace is all about unemotional sex, too much alcohol and cigarettes and a furious temper at the unjustice she daily sees in her job. Added to mix, is the unsolved emotional turmoil of the Oklahoma City Bombing and Timothy McViegh including deaths of her family members. So at this changepoint in her life, Grace is visited by the "archangel Earl". The genuine article, as demonstrated by many miracles, who is sent to Grace and expects her to change her ways. Or is he simply the figment of her over-heated mental/emotional distress? This is tough adult drama with nudity, no easy answers and absolutely worth your time if you are looking for excellence in acting, writing, directing--every detail is rich with meaning. Highest rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great show! July 15, 2008
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is not a show for children. There is too much sex, foul language, nudity and disturbing issues for the young viewer. However, this is really deep - even for the Christian viewer. There are many people that believe they are Christians that are more flawed in that belief (believing they don't need to change or re-evaluate their lives) than those that recognize they fall short and are truly flawed. Grace is a "damaged" young woman that is fighting all the hypocrisy in her life and her own self-hatred. I'd like to believe that this shows that it is never too late...

5.0 out of 5 stars Holly Hunter delivers a breathtaking performance September 2, 2008
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Saving Grace" is a marvelous showcase for the talents of Holly Hunter. She's fearless in her portrayal of Oklahoma City detective Grace Hanadarko. The way her emotions play across her face - threatening sudden violence like a summer tornado or breaking into a smile that would crack ice - is testimony to a carefully honed talent. There's magic in Holly's voice, whether she's yelling at a suspect to get on the ground or whispering to a friend about a barely repressed childhood trauma.
She's got her finger on the pulse of something elemental.

Of course, that performance wouldn't count if she couldn't rely on a staff of writers who've crafted a character who, despite a sackload of flaws and failures and weaknesses, is a jewel, the kind of person you'd be proud to call a friend. They allow Grace to fail spectacularly, but they never strip her of her basic humanity.

"Saving Grace" is a compelling drama that manages to ask hard, basic questions about existence and the presence and absence of God, all in the context of a police drama. That's pretty heady stuff for network television, even an edgy network like TNT.

Four stars for interesting characters and well-paced plots. It's enough to make me sit through all the sex and violence, though I wish they wouldn't do that.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a character "Grace " is!
I think it is so funny! I love the story line. That it has mystery,a little racey, but has a priest, and an angel in it is quite interesting.
