Graceland

I've read somewhere about this TV show and I just couldn't wait to see the pilot episode. All I can say after watching this episode could've been said in these three words: intriguing, exciting and unpretentious! But, I'm not going to stop only with that. This is a story about seemingly ordinary people and their work: FBI agents who enforce the law by arresting the people who break the law, as they've been taught in school. Hence, this job is much more complicated by the criminal mind learned to hide, to connect with all parts of society, only to avoid justice. Because of that, the ordinary people of the law have to work undercover, to look like criminals, to talk like them, to lie and do everything to arrest them. All that lying and erasing themselves could be very dangerous and who knows where could lead. I can't wait another episode, to see all the good and the bad in these characters that will come up!

The series must have been meant to go at least a season more because it had a horrible ending. So unsatisfying. Just left me dangling.

Graceland was such an underrated show that I had a blast watching. Graceland is the name of a beachfront house that was seized by the FBI and had become an undercover house for different departments of law enforcement (FBI, DEA, US Customs). It follows young FBI agent Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit) as he's put into Graceland and thrown into the fire of an undercover assignment. One of the other reasons he's there is to spy on his mentor Paul Briggs (Daniel Sunjata) to see if he's gone dirty. I really enjoyed all three seasons of this show and still mad to this day that it ended. The cast (Tveit, Sunjata, Serinda Swan, Manny Montana, Brandon Jay McLaren, Vanessa Ferlito) all do an excellent job. Give this show a try, I promise you'll have fun watching it!

Something this layered and suspenseful that is based on actual events doesn't come along often and when it does it should be given more than 3 seasons to establish a fan base. Yes some of it is incredulous but there would have to be some of that to offset the reality and gore of violence that is based on reality. Add to that a fine cast of actors and you get a winning combination. Such a shame it was canceled to make room for something fluffy. It's hard to understand why this wasn't renewed, especially given the cliffhanger at the end of Season 3, along with unfinished story lines that would have been exciting to explore. Why is it that once you're hooked on the drama and the characters a network decides to cancel? I don't understand why networks don't query their audiences before making these decisions! There's a reason Idol and other talent shows allow audiences (customers) to vote!!!

I have watched this show 3 times all together AND I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT ENDED LIKE THAT. SUCH A CLIFFHANGER. I loved this show from the day it debuted on Tv and I have never been this sad about a tv serie. ITS BEEN 5 years since it ended and I still can't suck it up.😢😢😭😣
