An incredible series that is full of the most interesting of contradictions; an angel who seems more like a trucker & a cop who appears to be a slave to her base appetites are each other's companions, therapist, and conscience.
Holly Hunter delivers a fully developed character as Grace Hanadarko, one who is flawed as she is perfect - a perfect mess who is great at what she does, solving crimes. Leon Rippy spreads his wings (pun intended) and fully inhabits them as Leon, knowing just what to say and when to say it.
The scene stealer for me was Laura San Giacomo's performance as Rhetta Rodriguez - the station's Forensic Pathologist and Grace's best friend from childhood. Her strength, vulnerability, & comedic timing play off of Holly Hunter's intensity - it's a joy to watch.
From pilot to finale the characters grow along with the writing through well-crafted story telling. Three seasons went by too soon, too fast, as you're left wishing for just one more.
