I am such a big fan of Holly Hunter as Grace Hanadarko on TNT’s Saving Grace. She brings an intensity to that role that reminds me of Glenn Close’s Patty Hewes on Damages, although the characters are very different. Patty is a lesson in control, whereas Grace is the exact opposite. But both get the job done.
Grace is a tiny firecracker who parties hard and regrets nothing in her job as a cop with the Oklahoma City Police. In her words, she has “an angel on my ass, a man who hears God talkin’ to him, and a killer on Death Row who shops at the Gap. None of this makes sense.” Read more about Grace in Ivey’s preview of season three.
In season two, out on DVD this week, Grace shared visions of her last-chance angel, Earl, with a death row inmate named Leon Cooley. Her relationship with her partner Ham got even more complicated, and she started having visions of a young drug addict named Neely.
Also on DVD this week: Burn Notice season 2, Family Guy Vol. 7, The Three Stooges Vol. 6, and Transformers, The Complete First Season (25th Anniversary Edition).
