Emotionally thrilling. ... Jackson brings every conceivable shading to the role. [14 - 27 Mar 2022, p.7]

Jackson and Fishback fill the screen with pain that goes bone-deep, and joy that feels like a glorious victory.

While “Ptolemy” has flaws in its execution, it’s redeemed by earth-shaking performances, and justifies Jackson’s desire to spotlight a storyteller confined to the page for too long.

Stretched over six episodes, the series sometimes gets bogged down in repeating itself, and tacks on a few too many epilogues after a classic contesting-the-will sequence that would made for a most satisfying ending. Still, this is a richly written, wonderfully acted series with a heartfelt, searing, tender performance by Samuel L. Jackson that ranks among his very best.

Two episodes into The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, its potential is clear, even if its setup is laboriously unraveled.

It encourages conversation about mortality, passing along wisdom and wealth across generations, honoring the sacrifices of others, and anticipating the promises of the future. It just takes an unnecessarily laborious path to communicate its themes.

When the story is being allegorical, it can be dreary and more than a little condescending. When it plays things straight with a fairy-tale chaser, it goes down smoothly.

This was simply up a notch from anything that I have ever seen on TV, Cinema or on Stream.
So deep, powerful and well crafted.
Everything comes together. The story, amazing good actors who might have all performed for a milestone of their career all crowned by a sheer incredible Samuel L. Jackson. The way he just jumps between mindsets in the same scene is mind boggling and made me laugh out in sheer amazement. So strong, so sharp, sa many layers deep and I can’t wait to go back and rewatch to grasp more of it.
I will have to watch more of Dominique Fishback. What a shining personality! Sorry I am babbling here, if you have the chance, watch it!!
