TALK ABOUT "IN YOUR FACE TV" A SURVIVOR LIVES HERE WAS THE BEST EPISODE YET. I REALLY LIKE HOLLY'S PORTRAYAL OF GRACE.
BUT SHE REMINDS ME OF A FRIEND WHO IS NO LONGER WITH US.
SHE RESEMBLES THE FRIEND IN FACE AND IN BODY BUILD.AND SHARES AN UNCANNY MENTAL RESEMBLANCE AS WELL. IT'S A GOOD THING. SOMETIMES LIKE SEEING A GHOST.
WELL DONE IN ALL RESPECTS. ADULT TV AT IT'S BEST.

Re: Mooo Episode and more...

This show is of high value, in my opinion, to bring people, especially those with negated and negating personas, to a place of understanding their own detached vulnerability and perhaps allow them to lean in a new direction; toward renewal and ongoing faith while learning about tradition and reaching out to others with a new perspective. I encourage and applaud it. Raw and kinda hilarious.
As a sort of modern theologist with buddhist and judaic leanings, I have noticed that the masses seem to glean more about Judaism from The Fiddler on The Roof than any research or true inquiry.
Therefore, I was thrilled to see the character, Grace, so nakedly present the common, sophomoric, insulting questions full of confusion and doubt. That was the obnoxious reality of that moment, the like of which has unfortunately been observed by so many in a variety of situations regarding religious and philosophical beliefs.
From my mulit-perspective, that silly, noxious presentation of confusion and doubt seems to be how many in fact, are lead to faith of any kind at all. I for one would be grateful to receive enlightenment not weighted by either chastisement or proselytization. So many faith organizations are either so exlusive and esoteric or so cultish that misunderstandings and failures are guaranteed.
Here's to allowing the truth of our own personal frailties to come into the light of a new day.

REGARDING THIS EARLIER REVIEW: [sic] (quotation) I was offended by this episode and I am not a Chasid. The comparing of voodoo/witchcraft as as much a legitimate expression as Orthodox Judaism was disgusting. The rules of how Hashem is to be approached and inquired of are in His
teaching - the Torah and not as humans choose.
It was good that you used the angel Earl to explain who actually is in charge and makes the rules - unfortunately you forgot to add that the rules were set down in the Torah which Yahoshua(sic Jesus) totally followed all of his life perfectly. If he hadn't you'd have no show.
The lack of respect and understanding furthers the attitudes toward the Jewish people that have been around for centuries and are sadly still here. These attitudes will continue until Moschiach
Yashua returns.

This show is racy, quwirky guttzy, funny, serious, sensitive. When you can hit all that in one show, they earned the next step... make a movie. This show is captivating, I love the joke playing on each other

Great writing, great acting so of course it gets axed. TNT should try to save this one for sure. There is so much crappy crap on TV and then you come across this quality show and actually plan your evening around it only to have it jerked out. Very sad state of affairs for TNT.
