    I'd like to think that if I were a TV exec, I would create a subgenre of TV, and call it something like 'indie TV'. There's TV comedies, TV dramas...but no genre to underscore the offbeat vibe of indie film. Sometimes I wonder, if there was such a thing, would the quirkier or more cerebral shows gain the traction they deserve?Anyway, if 'indie TV' was a genre, "Gravity" would certainly qualify. Alas, it also places on my list of "Shows Canceled Too Soon/Unexpectedly". This rates among "Wonderfalls", "Pushing Daisies" or "Dead Like Me", though definitely lower on the quality side. If you liked these, if you don't mind cynical characters or unconventional- sometimes-outrageous humor; this show just might be for you. The best I can say about the tone of "Gravity" is that it doesn't really have a genre, which is why I think 'indie' is a perfect match for it. Not only are the characters struggling with labels (being suicidal in the past, maybe still, maybe not anymore,) the show struggles to define itself as one thing. Such is life, which is basically why I love the indie vibe so much. "Gravity" is not straight comedy, but it's not exactly grim enough to be a drama - yet, weird as it is - something about this show works. The character of Jorge is my least-favorite (he's just too outrageous for me to like); but Ivan Sergei's character, along with the character of Lily (Krysten Ritter, in one of her first roles) makes "Gravity" just fascinating enough...and Miller? Well, who knows what's up with that guy...too many questions surround him.I will say that if nothing else - if you do check this one out and you watch it all the way through...prepare to do a double-take toward the end of the last episode.

    i've just finished the season and sad to find it didn't had a 2nd- what the hell happened??? i found it to b weird, funny and a really good drama (that Miller is a piece of work)the actors are good and the story lines r interesting...its a nice insight to life after,i don't wanna give away any of the show but along the episodes u find each of the character's suicide story while discovering new things on Miller - i think he is the weirdest-craziest-scary and even touching character... Krysten Ritter proves she's great.i think i'll look up now why is this been cancelled;anyway even tough it is brutally cut at the end - u should see it :)

    I have seen three episodes. The initial thought was that there has to be some hook or something somewhere to make the audience to come back for more, but so far I am wrong.The acting is poor, characters flat, 'jokes' not funny, unimaginative script, no twists, no humour, nothing to disgust me, or feel any kind of emotion, or even make me think. It is as entertaining as watching paint dry.If you are a fan of either House, Dexter, Lost, Chuck, Glee, or the slow paced Justified, then you probably will find this series (so far) very very disappointing, and that is being kind.Just like chuck opened with Cake's 'Short Skirt, Long Jacket', this should have opened up with a version of "Mad World", but that would have been it's only redeeming feature, and a waste of a good song.

    deep,funny and enjoyable. Eric has another winner. Thank you. great characters. well acted. can't wait till the next episode. Beautiful dark stories. Should be viewed by teenagers and the impressionable. Eric brings to life the thoughts and feelings that we all have about love and life. I am so happy this art is not on network TV so all the levels and depths can be touched of this taboo subject. This has the makings of the greats like The Saprano's, Deadwood, In treatment, Dexter and the United states of Tara. It looks like Starz is getting into the intelligent television business with Spartacus, Party on, and now Gravity. Just remember you don't have to go years between seasons. I am hoping that the suits leave this one alone. I know a great show like swingtown would have thrived had it not been on network TV. So suits, remember, you are not on network TV and Eric Schaefer was not meant to be on network. Go Gravity. Thanks Eric!
