Yesterday I indulged in one of my guilty pleasures. Yes, I rewatched "Saving Grace" from 2000 with the incomparable Brenda Blethyn.
What a range this actor has! Not long before, she portrayed a very different, very shaky and broken woman in my intro to her of "Secrets & Lies". Here, she is strong, confident, resourceful, and full of oomph and vinegar. I am in awe of her talent.
And what a fun show this is! Yeah, the subject matter may not be up to everyone's taste, but I can appreciate the whimsy and character growth. And the rest of the cast is chef's kiss, as is the filming location. Makes me dream I could visit Cornwall one day.
