Saving Grace is a series for the BIG thinkers and the seekers in this world. Are you wondering why GOD does what he or she does or doesn't do? Are you questioning the existence of Angels? Are angels more like God or more like us? If any of these questions have ever crossed your mind, you'll enjoy this thought provoking Drama. This show is set in Oklahoma City, focusing on the life of a less than ordinary female Police Officer. She struggles daily with the loss of family and friends in the Oklahoma City bombing. She copes with the stark realities of life with too much booze and sex. This is a series for Adults with Adult themes well worth exploring. When the main character, Grace, has too many drinks and hits a man with her car on the way home, she kneels at his side furtively performing CPR and alternately crying out for God's help. When God sends help in the form of an unlikely Angel named Earl, Grace thinks either the drinking has caused a hallucination OR she's losing her mind. Earl is a "last chance" angel, someone (the series writers tell us) who God sends to straighten out people whose behavior probably wouldn't qualify them for heaven. These last chance Angels are God's way of getting people to think about what they're doing and why and to CHANGE that behavior. The series manages to do all this "judging" of Grace's life and behavior without sounding judgmental at all. There's no lectures or sermons, but, there are profound stories of deep importance that make you think about BOTH Grace's life and your own. This is a series that manages to erect HOPE in the midst of the gritty crime ridden streets and unspeakable acts of the darker side of humanity that this character has to confront everyday. That ALONE is worth the price of admission...Read full review
LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!!!!! I missed several episodes of the first season so I decided to buy the DVD's, my first every DVD purchase. Just watched the first 4 episodes of which I missed 2 the first time around. Gritty, far out, and so real. The music is fantastic too, now I need to buy the CD for Everlast. Holly Hunter is perfect for this role as she has never played the goodie, goodie role. I hope this series lasts for a few more years, I am hooked, so much better than so called "reality" shows.
Awesome Show.....Great Actors and story lines. Unexpected humourous situations makes it so worthwhile to watch. I love the show and I have purchased season 2 also. Holly Hunter is an great actress and plays the role superbly. The chemistry between the actors is so good and the friendship that Holly Hunter and Laura San Giacomo have is incredible. Watch it; you won't be sorry.
I always turned away from watching this series on TV until reruns came and there was nothing else to watch. Then there was 'Grace' in all here shortcomings. Gritty, rebellious 'Grace' who was anything but, and it became hard not to fall in love with 'Grace'. Soon she she had me hooked and every night I was glued to the TV waiting for 'Grace' to take me down the road to perdition of my own life. To hold the mirror to my own shortcomings and to remind me that we are all flawed and human. Earl is totally believable as the angel we all wished we had, and Rhetta is the friend we all seek in ourselves. I know I will watch these episodes over and over again and enjoy and learn from them each time I experience them.
My wife sarted my on this show and I'm usually sort of picky about what I watch but this show clicked with me. Being from Oklahoma also puts interest in the show for me. I love how this show really shows you what life is like for a 5 foot policewoman. She is very dedicated to her job but after work, "Yee Haa!" And I love the parts with the Angel that helps guide her. He may not look the part but he is a very special to all the lives he touches. This is a great DVD set to add to your collection. One that makes you think about life.
