This isn't the profound show commercials hail it to be. I stuck with this show for 2-seasons mainly because other family members of mine are in love with it. I understand redemption, and in fact encourage more productions of such a subject, however, the constant nudity, terrible dialogue, and -- at times -- corny acting, really can steer me out of the room instantaneously.
Holly Hunter (while great in other shows/movies) is really over-the-top in her performance on here. She's virtually nude in the majority episode selection, and to be all honest, this isn't edgy or innovative -- I could watch nudity on Weeds and still be engaged with the characters and story... not Saving Grace, where it is unnecessary and does nothing for the tone, nor add to the story.
The episodes plod on and on about the same thing over and over again.
The music is too preachy, making scenes drag on like music videos, rather than seem like actual human drama.
All in all, Saving Grace is a mixed-bag. Good idea, executed poorly. I say pass on this show, and save your DVR/TiVo space for The Closer or LOST.
