Watchseries; This is a must see show. It is heart wrenching, especially if you have ever had someone in your life go through Alzheimer's or dementia. So far each episode has made me clamor for more. Love it love it love it!

The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey watchseries. Makes the audience think about a situation that many people are dealing with now. Ptolemy is 91 his memory would not be the best. He's brave, he's on a mission for justice. Really good actors, have a feeling this is going to get emotional. Memories are the only treasures anyone has.
SLJ Is fantastic!
Great Story make up/prosthetic people are slacking, Mr. Jackson's "oldness" especially his cheeks look fake AF.
Story just pulls you in, dementia is a bs thing to do to someone and so far this is showcasing just how messed up it can be. And doing it with a story that while really sad, yet has a certain humor in it at times in the interaction of characters.
Wow what a display of acting - what a story that a lot of us can unfortunately resonate with.
Samuel L Jackson gives the performance of his life just wow.
This if what life is like for many people it actually happens and it's so hard.
2 episodes in and Mr Jackson is nailing it on all fronts. As someone who has a thread of dementia in our family, and who has seen it first hand when supporting family is suffering from this, it rings very true. Especially the mistrust - essentially the person the person who has dementia sees most is the most trusted, everyone else is suspected of plotting against the afflicted person. Its heartbreaking.
And thats just one aspect of the story. I wont throw any spoilers about that side of it....
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.
