Once again, Hollywood has gone overboard. The concept of this series was a good one, with great potential for rich story lines and interesting character development. Grace's encounters with Earl could lead to some interesting dialog and character development; instead their conversations are vacuous and puerile. There's nothing about Grace's character that is admirable or worthy of "saving" from her otherwise self-destructive behavior. Putting aside the incredulous characters, the overdone over-indulgences of Grace, and the overwritten caricature of Earl, the gratuitous nude scenes (for the male audience, no doubt), what exactly is the point of this series? I'm waiting to find out what it is about Grace that is worth saving. The writing lacks intelligence and depth. Holly Hunter's brilliant talent is being wasted on these scripts.
