    Both "The Closer" and Saving Grace are at the top of their games in tonight's premiere episodes.

    This will be good news to people who enjoy watching train wrecks in which the engineer accelerates as the precipice nears, which is Grace's signature move.

    Hunter is just so good and the writing is subtle enough that we're willing to go along for the ride, from those looming-tornado opening credits to the last scene of each episode, in which a new heartstrings-plucking tragedy is neatly and satisfyingly resolved.

    Some may take issue with the cynical tone of both series [Saving Grace and The Cleaner] or the fact that there is very little divine intervention in either.

    A strange feeling came over me when I was watching the Season 2 premiere of Saving Grace. I actually wished that the episode was longer.

    Perhaps recognizing the professional problem, the show's writers return with an episode where the crime has a painful personal connection for Grace. Some of the scenes still drag, but it's stronger than most of the season one episodes.

    Saving Grace is less about its procedural storytelling than it is about simply creating a venue to showcase Hunter's undeniable smallscreen star quality.

    As before, the “big picture” plotlines are often the least convincing, mostly because the trippy angel talk is tough to pull off.

Grace tries so I recorded this show 3 times and tried really hard to like it, but I don't. It's choppy and seems to go no where. Grace tries so very very very hard to be a bad a$$, who puts up emotional walls, that it's a turnoff. And what is with her and her cousin? They laugh so much about "nothing" that it just seems weird, for a while I thought they were lovers. Except for Lorraine Toussaint, and a few other good actors, this show can be cancelled.… Full Review »

    I like how different Grace is. I like how the show accepts all the emotions, and not just the "correct" ones. I like the idea that I like how different Grace is. I like how the show accepts all the emotions, and not just the "correct" ones. I like the idea that someone's soul is worth fighting for. I like the idea that there might be places in this country where people stop to pray at noon, and are not preachy, narrow-minded stereotypes. Prayer and passion, and the fight for the soul; that is what I like about this show.… Full Review »
