Saving Grace Finale--Spoilers! - saynomore - 06-22-2010
I got into Saving Grace a couple of seasons in and played catch up. Played long enough to reach the finale, which was tonight. Two hours to wrap things up. First off, Grace is a hard-boiled detective in the post-noir sense, breaking the rules to get justice; however, typical of a noir hero, Grace's private life is filled with tragedy. Going into the finale tonight: Grace has accidentally run over a young girl and cannot do her job anymore. In the finale's first hour: Grace must choose between obvilion and survival; poignant ending shows Grace walking into the ocean at night with Stand By Me playing in the background. Second hour: No, she didn't drown. She returned to the shore to find Earl, her guardian Angel waiting. Earl, the fantasy element that drew me to the show, guides Grace in all decisions save suicide; here she must make her own choice. She chooses to survive. Then she gets the ultimate case: To bring down the Devil himself. Even her fellow detectives cannot decide if they are hunting a man or pure evil itself. Well, The Devil meets Grace in a grand finale, and let's just say, it was a very satisfying finale. Loose ends were tied up and Grace got justice in a big way. Left me wanting more, which is a good thing.
