Perpetual Grace, LTD

Ben Kingsley is so much more enjoyable when he's not portraying icons of history and hagiography, and the creative minds of the patriot have brought forth another beautiful visual poem for the soulful seeker bored by laugh tracks snd phoned in performance or the overly dramatic.

Others have said its Dave Lynch and Coen Brothrs mashup, but it could just as easily be said Jim Jarmusch and Wim Wenders, other wunderkin of the golden age of independent cinema-the 1980's, both in the use of landscapes, and the spare yet vivid dialogue and character development.

These productions seem gather artists like moths to a flame to ingender wonderful performances with both the gang from patriot and other great character actors gifted at their craft with integrity work. It's got an unapologetic punk vibe, not caught up in nonsense of the moment but rather the absurdity, horrific and humorous, of essential human struggles in the world of hard knock reality, beyond what humans paper over with consumer driven lifestyles and spiritual gimmicks.

Glad to see a McPoyle thrive.

I've also found some new musicians to appreciate, including Ben Kingsley.

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?

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.

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 literally don't understand the general, never mind the specific Patriot fans ragging on this. It's really, deeply and darkly funny. It's about pretty goddamn shady people all round.. so what? The cinematography is superb - the dialogue IS ridiculous - all the time, for comedy - in the vain of Patriot but also deeply evocative of the Coen Brothers works.

I literally have no idea why anyone would criticise it for it's outlandishness. Ben Kingsley and all the other leads are on point.
