Saving Grace


Saving Grace is a show about a disfunctional, heavy drinking, strong willed independent woman who is on a road to self destruction. Grace Hanadarko the main character of the show is played by Holly Hunter, is a long time cop who has experienced a lot in her time with the loss of her father in the Oklahoma city bombing and her being attacked by a psychotic killer who hates whores. She is unlike any character currently on TV as she walks her own path, always on the edge of becoming unlikeable because of her actions IE; stealing evidence, braking into private buildings, sleeping with almost any guy who gives her the time of day. Still, she always winds up redeems herself and reminds the us that life is not as straight a path as we would like it to be, but in fact a series of zigzags that we need to maneuver. Grace is helped out by an Angel named Earl who claims that God has a big planwhich involves Grace. Earl is trying to get Grace to change her life and get out of the downward spiral she is currently on. Although this show is not for everybody, try to catch an episode, you might be see yourself getting entertained, surprised and irritated by the character, but still get hooked to one of the more original shows out there today.
