Save Me

I've watched 3 episodes and am a fan. I was skeptical at first but this is a well written, smart, funny show. It reminds me very much of Scrubs from a few years back. The characters are very representative of our post-modern, secular culture. Woven through the irreverent dialog are some very good moral, ethical messages. Anne Heche as the main character Beth who has found God following a traumatic event is comically representative of the modern new believer. Theologically and doctrinally naive she is unabashed in her belief unlike the only other professed believer in the cast who largely sublimates her beliefs in the face of her skeptical peers unbelief. Save Me is a bold entry in the sitcom landscape that has seemed to venerate themes that in prior years would have been considered socially unacceptable. ironically, talking about God in media has become counter cultural. save Me is making it cool again. Give it a shot. You just might be pleasantly surprised.

Beth gets a second chance at life, family, and friends after she accidentally chokes on a sandwich. God has intervened and helped this misguided, alcoholic, joke of the neighborhood, become the person she has always wished she was.

As someone who has nothing up with religion, I was skeptical to watch this Series. The mainly reason to watch it, was for Anne Heche. This is however not a pro- or anti-religious show. The show dares to bring God into the storyline, but with a contemporary approach. The moral and ethical messages are funny and light carried out.

Heche shows her outstanding comedic timing and facial mimic in this Show. She makes an unlikely character touchy and believable. The rest of the cast are not in her league, but the acting is more than decent.

Especially the first 3-4 episode are funny and well written from then on the director is rushing through the story and the show gets less enjoyable. The show is fast paced and the format of 20- 25 minutes suits it well. This comedy is different but better than the average sit-com.

I think this is quite a good show. Better than a lot I've seen of late. The plot has been set early on we know she talks to god, This could give so many stories in the future of the show. I think given time this could become a show that people might start watching, when others talk about and explain the plot. 7/10 worth a watch easy viewing has a lot of potential.OK it might not have the best ratings on IMDb i don't know why maybe its because its gone down the god route but this show has got a set up to make it a good show,The characters are cast very nicely the acting is pretty good.definitely deserves a a higher rating than it currently has.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised. Nice lighthearted look at a spiritual awakening. Paul was thrown from a horse so this isn't so far fetched. Looking forward to more episodes. In this day and age half hour shows seem like a tease but probably works best for this type of show. Short and sweet message, no need to drag out a plot line. Acting was very good for a spiritual show. Reminds me of the show a few years ago where the lawyer was having visions. Only this one is simpler, so far, to follow. The church music scene was a little over the top but the priest/pastor was played nicely. The music certainly adds to the show just had a problem with her just jumping in and knowing the words when she said she had never been in a church before. Also music didn't fit with the type of church that would have a priest/pastor wearing the normal denominational gown outfit. Writers have to decide on what kind of church this is going to be.

First of all, I have to say I've never been a fan of Anne Heche.. but ya know what... I just love her in this. Her comedic timing in this is amazing. Story lines are hilarious, touching and all around good fun. Anne is adorable in this show. The whole concept is as close to 'novel' that Hollywood puts out as one can hope for. It's 'Touched by an Angel', 'Saving Grace' wrapped up in a ticklish taco (I know, really bad metaphor, but I'm kind of hungry right now). Few shows make me laugh out loud, and I love to laugh out loud.

Don't deprive yourself of watching this program, 'swear to God' you won't regret it.
