Perpetual Grace, LTD

I love this show! It's hilarious, quirky, eccentric, bizarre, and so cool! Ben Kingsley is phenomenal! The entire cast is great, and they do a spectacular job! I can't say enough good things about it.

I love the quirky dark humor. It has a David Lynch vibe to it. Phenomenal cast of actors all of which were great. Well written screenplay and direction. I loved the pauses in each line to stress an idea - very clever. It is a bit slow so I suspect that might turn off some viewers, but I was fine with it because the quality was present. It was devilishly absurdly funny. Especially Ben Kingsley. I am annoyed they did not renew this show for a second season, and they left us with a cliff hanger. Supposely they will give this show a proper ending but when?

Great show. The casting is eclectic and inspired and the writing is unique. For me, any show that includes Jimmi Simpson is always a winner. Add a legend like Ben Kingsley, and you just can't lose. As an aside, why hasn't IMDb included Timothy Spall in the cast listing?

As someone in a YouTube video pointed out, this show takes place in "the same universe" as Patriot. We know this because one of the main characters, a teenage boy named, "Glenn Purdue", grows up to become police "Sgt. Glenn Purdue", whose PTSD service dog gets kidnapped in Patriot. The cinematography in Perpetual Grace was superb, and the acting and writing were top notch as well. In my opinion, this was a darker show than Patriot, but still had some incredible laugh out loud humor, using absurdity as a vehicle, just like Patriot. I have watched Patriot all the way through twice but had never heard of this show until today. I binged the entire season. If you loved Patriot, you're in for a treat with this.

I only review a series until the whole season has been completed, but from what I have seen after six episodes this is worth bragging about. It is a thriller of some sort with everything thrown into the mix bag of bizarre and twisted neo-noir. I see it as if David Lynch, Wes Anderson and Aki Kaurismäki had an orgy and created this deformed love child that has turned out to be a unique TV series. The tone and structure is hypnotic, dreamlike and far removed from any form of reality, but the emotions are hyper-realistic and challenging if you dare to dig deep. Together the creators Bruce Terris and Steven Conrad, (who got his brother Chris Conrad to star as the demented sad sack, New Leaf), have pushed the boundaries of the absurd, but not as far as David Lynch went with the recent Twin Peaks series. The highlight is the teaming of Ben Kingsley (as Father Byron Brown!) and Jacki Weaver, an inseparable God fearing couple who have been stung, so they hit the vengeful road, creating a path of redemption! Another Aussie in the mix is the cheeky Damon Herriman as P.A. Brown who created the chaos. So hang in there cause it was only by the third episode that I made connection, and it was worth the wait.
