http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/24/Saving-Grace---Premiere-Episode.aspx Imagine Denis Leary as a woman. Stay with me, here. Then, imagine this woman in TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL. And, there you have SAVING GRACE, the brilliant new series from TNT (Mondays at 10 p.m.). Dennis Leary is played by Holly Hunter, who has never been better. She’s already won an Oscar and two Emmys; she may want to make some room on her mantle for additional trophies. She is brilliant as Grace Hanadarko, a cynical and tortured Oklahoma City detective who tries to escape her demons through promiscuity and booze.    The show starts with Grace in bed with her married partner, Ham Dewey (Kenneth Johnson); when he feels guilt and walks out contemplating an end to their affair, Grace is left talking to her dog, the only one who’ll listen. Because of a family problem, there are no relatives to whine to. Grace keeps avoiding them, anyway, despite a series of invitations to an upcoming gathering of the clan. All she has left is her friend, Jack Daniels. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/24/Saving-Grace---Premiere-Episode.aspx 77 60
