Episode 6 of The Last Das of Ptolemy Grey returns to the past, as we see Ptolemy watching in horror as hungry flames lick up the side of a large building. Inside the fire happens to be Maude Petit, and her mother screams that her "baby is inside." So The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey ends with the final chapter not quite serving as the tearjerker it could have been. Having not read the book I can't comment how accurate this story has been adapted but it almost feels like the quaint, reflective ending could have been more emotional akin to something like Big Fish had the writers decided to go that route. However, Samuel L Jackson has been fantastic in this role and the show has done an excellent job developing his character and producing a really solid character-driven journey for him to ease into. The exploration of the elderly and our attitudes toward mental health are both themes that have been examined under close scrutiny here and the show has done a pretty good job at this. The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey could have done with some tightening up around the middle, but beyond that this has been a thoroughly enjoyable drama and well worth a watch.
