The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey

The usual great acting one expects from Jackson, but, also some serious work by. Dominique Fishback who plays Robyn. The rest of the cast were also,, awesome. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to see a good story;.

I cant say enough great things. This pulls at the heart strings. I cared for my elderly grandmother and this brings back a lot of beautiful memories as well as deep regret for mistakes made. It's not easy caring for the elderly especially if you have alot going on. Even those of us with the best intentions bite off more than we can chew resulting in the suffering of others.. Samuel L Jackson is nothing short of spectacular genius. Absolutely magnificent and kept me weeping. Cant wait for more. Thank you.

The topics this tv series covers are difficult and sad, they did a great job at developing this story.

Samuel L. Jackson might be doing with this his best work in his career so far: if this was a motion picture he'd deserved an Oscar.

All other actors are also doing a great job.

As the title indicates, we are looking at the end of a man's life - and that life is not ending well. Ptolemy Grey once had a woman he loved, friends, family - but he has finally outlived them all and is now sinking into dementia.

But from the first few minutes of the series, we know three things about him: he has a plan, he has a gun, and he has nothing left to lose. What a great set-up...

This show is well cast, beautifully acted, and does an amazing job of taking us into Grey's world of confusion, suspicion, victimization and loss. But we are also piecing together his past life - little bits here and there that begin to form a picture of who this man was and still is.

It's been a long time since I've seen anything this good on television.

As of this writing, the show has an overall IMDB rating of 6.8 - about what you'd expect for a bland sitcom or a YA show. How the heck does that happen?

OMG when did Samuel Jackson go from being a top shelf actor to a world class thespian. Seriously the performance he brings to bear here is absolutely stunning and deserving of every award and acologue that exists. It's unfortunate that this is debuting early in the year which is generally not a good time relative to getting acknowledgment for rewards.

The insight and sensitivity that this program shows towards both the realities of dementia and the realities of dealing with unresolved trauma long term are amazing. Just try not to fall in love with Ptolemy Gray. Just try not to get drawn into this story. Just try not to laugh, cry and to think this over long after you are done viewing it. This is what the best kind of programming is all about. Don't miss this or you will miss something very important.
