Ridiculously fun new drama. ... The scuzzy noir pleasures are invigorating. Guzmán is a desperate delight. Weaver looks like a maternal White Walker, and Kingsley is Sexy Beast-ing as one very dire wolf.
While two episodes isn't normally enough to fully establish a tone, this pair are beautiful and funny and unleash on the viewer a bevy of excellent characters.

Ben Kingsley and Jimmi Simpson combine to somehow make more out of an already superb script. Perpetual Grace is shot-through with bone dry, frequently laugh out loud humor, that follows characters you’ll take interest in from the first show. I’m 3 shows in and very impressed. Enjoy

This is fantastic television, reminiscent of classic noirs and the way the Coen brothers played with the genre in works like “Blood Simple” and “Fargo.”
Little here feels new, and it’s not a skillful enough pastiche to demand you find Epix on your dial. ... Kingsley’s Pastor Brown is so obviously containing sociopathic multitudes, thanks to a performance with little shading over its tough, aggressive venom, that the story lacks suspense.
Eccentric series set in New Mexico, Texas and Mexico. Bad characters, drifters, religious con artists, cartels, magic tricks and more. No log ladies though. Dark themes throughout, however. Looking forward to next season, but one issue comes up for me as a native southwesterner; snow in June in New Mexico (or Texas or Sonora Mexico)? ?? Father’s Day is in late June. It is a major plot device in the series, and many outdoor scenes (on Father’s Day) show a light covering of snow on hillsides, roads and mountain backdrops. Really? It is hotter than hell in June in New Mexico, Texas, and Sonora. It DOES NOT snow there in summer. Was this somehow intentional to add to the weirdness or what? Not sure but if **** cool man...

Definitely reminds me of Patriot and that's a great thing. As others have noted though, there's something missing from all of these characters, which is, I believe, is intended, but it does get in the way of any sympathy for them. I find them distant, which impacts my ability to connect with them or their stories. I don't care what happens to them outside of moving the plot forward.

Fantastic cast and great looks, but if you can´t connect with the people and story it is all in vain. I am on episode 5 and struggling. I don´t care about this people and don´t really get the story. I am curious what went wrong with this cast and that extreme capability with the visuals. Is it lack of understanding the work of the actor and all emphasis on the visuals? Or was it overly thought out on the way to brilliancy so it lost connection with the simple rules of storytelling? I really tried to connect with these people and fantastic looking scenes. But it seems to cross a line in it´s efforts and sadly turns out to be limp and pretentious. Hope these clearly capable visuals makers manage to tell a story in their next attempt.
