Die letzten Tage des Ptolemy Grey

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.

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.

Just simply a spectacular piece of acting by Samuel L. Jackson! It's surprising to me that no one I know is familiar with the show, more so when it's on Apple TV+.

If we took the time to get to know the life of a 91 year old person, what kind of a past would we uncover? As his mind returns, he is transformed from a senile old man who many of us would just ignore and set aside in today's society, to become a vibrant, sharp, shrewd man whose intellect runs circles around everyone around him. He uses his heightened mind and memories to make the most of the time he has to set things right.

In addition to Jackson, the supporting cast is exceptional. This is a high quality show that should get more attention. It feels slow at times in the first couple of episodes, but it does gain speed. Looking forward to seeing how the plot unravels.

One side of this show is a truly sad story about someone with dementia and how it affects their daily life and Samuel L. Jackson portrays the character very well. There is more to the story though, there are many odd flashbacks that aren't completely explained and it makes you wonder what may be hidden in his memory. Very well done and excited for the rest!
