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...
