Closing out Tuesday nights will be TNT's returning hit series Saving Grace, which kicks off its second season on June 16 at 10/9c. Saving Grace stars Holly Hunter in an astonishing performance that earned her Golden Globe® and Screen Actors Guild Award® nominations. Her character, Grace Hanadarko, is a top-notch, forceful Oklahoma investigator whose wild personal life translates into a no-holds-barred approach to her detective work. She takes every case to heart, especially cases in which women or children are victimized. Whether skirting the law in order to get an illegal alien to talk to the police, using a tornado as an opportunity to interrogate a suspect, or protecting a witness by having him spend the night in her own home, Grace is the kind of detective any homicide squad would be lucky to have. Grace’s personal life, however, is heading in an entirely different direction. She lives hard and fast, having numerous affairs, including with her partner Ham (Johnson), and fellow detective Butch (Chase), not to mention a memorable night with medical examiner, Henry Silver (Mark L. Taylor, Boston Legal). Basically, no none is off limit to Grace except for her guardian angel. Go figure.
In the Saving Grace's first season, when her life had reached its darkest point, Grace is visited by an unconventional angel named Earl (Rippy). Earl is challenged to calm Grace’s wild way and to help guide her. He weaves a mixture of folksy wisdom and cryptic clues. He also uses dreams that connect Grace in strange ways with a death row inmate (Woodbine). You can catch up on this show, if you missed its first season, by watching full episodes here.
