Saving Grace Reviews

Grace Hanadarko (Holly Hunter) is a good cop but her personal life is in the toilet with too much drinking, fast driving and sleeping around. She's offered the chance to redeem her life by a angel. The show follows her journey to redemption with the ever present question of "Will she make it?"

Saving Grace is a top-notch show with real characters and real emotions. You'll find yourself going from humor to anger to resignation in a span of a few minutes.

Hunter's performance especially is fantastic. At times you want to wring Grace's neck for the decisions she makes but Hunter injects this vulnerability that you find yourself sympathizing with Grace.

Leon Rippy is hilarious as the tobacco-chewing angel who follows Grace around.

This isn't Touched by an Angel - though there are moments of compassion, there's always this doubt over whether Grace will achieve her redemption.
