‘The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey’
Based on the book of the same name by Walter Mosely, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey is Samuel L. Jackson in one of the greatest performances he’s ever given. The limited series centers around an elderly man struggling with dementia and the young woman, Dominique Fishback’s Robyn, who becomes his caretaker. Few projects have better captured how terrifying and upsetting this disease can be. Even fewer have acknowledged the callous way we as a society abandon those who have been diagnosed.
