like it that stray from the exact source material plots, every episode of Grace appears to be bas3d on one of the novels. The writing is pretty strong. Oddly, they strayed a bit after the first series of his dealing with a psychic and visited that angle no more. My only gripe with the writing has to do with the ongoing subplot of Roy Grace’s long-lost wife, and this may be a bit of a spoiler, it seems the closed Roy gets to a romantic relationship building up, the more active the storyline about the presumed-dead wife becomes. It just feels predictable, like lazy plotting and writing to me. But the show is still well-worth watching.
