AppleTV+ runs "The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey" concurrently with the series "Severance," dropping a new episode every Friday. While the two shows could not be more different in format, they actually share a similar theme - memories. "Severance" is getting accolades for a slow burn that leads up to a spectacular finale. Unfortunately for "Ptolemy Grey" it's the opposite, starting out strong with a fascinating concept but dwindles severely in the last episode. Nevertheless, it is enjoyable to continue seeing the work of Samuel L. Jackson. Here, his 'dementia acting' rises to the same level as Anthony Hopkins's Oscar-winning portrayal of an Alzheimer's patient in "The Father." I hope Samuel L. Jackson wins an award for this role. Another gem to come out of this series is the talented Dominique Fishback. I have never heard of her before this series. She portrays Robyn convincingly with a perfect blend of sass and heart. She will be recognized and I can see a bright future ahead of her. As a bonus, we also get a glimpse of the trusty Walton Goggins as the doctor. Overall, this short series is worthwhile to watch; just don't get your hopes up for a satisfying final 6th episode.
