Tales From the TV: Graceland

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bentley chapter.

If you’re a fan of spies, secrets, and sabotage then Graceland may be the show for you! Here are five reasons why you should watch Graceland.

1.    The Plot

Graceland revolves around a group of undercover agents from various law enforcement agencies (including the FBI, DEA, and ICE) who live together in a Southern California beach house named Graceland. As each undercover agent goes about their daily business cases will collide, friendships will be tested, and secrets will be exposed.

2.    Aaron Tveit

If you didn’t get enough of Aaron Tveit in Les Miserables, here is another place to watch him in all his gorgeous glory. Tveit plays lead character Mike Warren, who, fresh out of Quantico, gets assigned to Graceland to keep tabs on one of his fellow housemates. And look at those arms! PHWOAR. Bon appetite.

3.    The Guys

Aaron Tveit isn’t the only attractive male agent in the household. There’s Paul Briggs, FBI, the leader of the household with a very dark past. ICE agent DJ holds a secret of his own and is the most surly of the lot, while Johnny (my personal favorite), also an FBI agent, brings in some of the comedic relief in the tense household.

4.    The Girls

The girls in Graceland kick some serious butt. Although outnumbered, these girls have control of the house and keep the guys in order. FBI agent Charlie packs a serious punch and is full of fire and passion while the softer DEA agent Paige does whatever it takes to protect her friends from danger.

5.    The Action

Although Mike was told that “There are no secrets in Graceland,” this fact simply isn’t true. It’s the secrets and the intrigues that keep the viewers at the edge of their seat week after week as they see the lives of their favorite agents unravel. From gun fights to drug busts, Graceland will always keep you on your toes.

Graceland has been renewed for a second season consisting of 13 episodes.

Where you can catch up: Hulu, Netflix (discs only)

Number one reason to watch Graceland? Aaron Tveit wants you to!
