After watching just three episodes (last season’s finale and two new episodes) of Saving Grace I have realized how underrated TNT used to be in my eyes. As a lover of crime and medical dramas, I could be very happy with TNT being one of my favorite networks. With Saving Grace, Hawthrorne, and The Closer alone, there is plenty going on and it’s all wrapped up in a well written, phenomenally acted set of storylines.
Starring Holly Hunter as the title character, Grace Hanadarko, Saving Grace is just beginning season three of an already amazing run. Hunter plays the role of Grace, a brash and gutsy Oklahoma City Detective that happens to have an angel watching over her. Hunter stars with an amazing ensemble cast, including Bailey Chase, Kenneth Johnson, Lorraine Toussaint, Gregory Cruz, Yanni King, Dylan Minnette, and Laura San Giacomo. Needless to say, it would be hard to come up with such an amazing cast and it shows in every performance.
Grace and the rest of the team are able to work together, but they also bond and spend a great deal of time hanging out with one another as friends. They are serious when it comes to their jobs, but when the time allows someone is always getting a prank pulled on them. With such a high stress job, it’s likely this is just one way to make sure that everyone is able to have a little fun.
Grace is in a relationship with her partner Ham (Johnson). Ham is in love with Grace and is ready to take their relationship to the next step now that his divorce is finalized, though he doesn’t know if Grace is looking for the same things. He also doesn’t know much, if anything, about Earl (Leon Rippy). Earl is Grace’s last chance angel.
This season you can expect to see Grace deal with just as many brutal crimes, but in the midst of all of this you will get to learn more about some of the other detectives on the force. The personal lives of Stillwater (Cruz), Ada (Chase), and even Captain Perry (Toussaint) will be a prime focus this season.
Additionally, you will see more from the amusing and good-natured, Rhetta Rodriquez (San Giacomo), the criminalist best friend of Grace. This season we learn more about her money problems and how they could end up hurting her marriage. You even get to see a battle of the angels over the chance to save Grace’s soul.
Saving Grace premieres Tuesday, June 16 at 10 PM Eastern (9 Central). It is part of a star-studded Tuesday night lineup with other shows like Wedding Day and Hawthorne.
