A funny, freaky crime tale that’s also a gutter-poetic western.

Bad title, but whats in a name?
Pronounce the last bit limited, though this ridiculously fun new drama is anything but.
It premieres with a Hitchcockian crisscross.
They take James in and follow his directions south, when he tells them their sons dying in Mexico.
Not everyone is what they seem.
Imprisoned, Pa kills a man with a shoe.
He informs Hector casually, Im the pale horse of death, and hell follows me.
All the cons overlapping in a bleached-beautiful desert landscape suggest the biblical phases ofBreaking Bad.
And co-creator Steven Conrad made AmazonsPatriot, a kaleidoscopic spy drama Im embarrassingly only now watching.
Pauls friendship with local holy-fool teenager Glenn (Dash Williams) has a folk-tale quality.
I do worryPerpetual Gracewill exhaust its own perpetual motion.
Were midway through the first season and there are already two astronaut subplots.
But the scuzzy noir pleasures are invigorating.
Guzman is a desperate delight.
Weaver looks like a maternal White Walker, and Kingsley isSexy Beast-ing as one very dire wolf.
Its all right there on Epix, whose streaming service runs $5.99 a month.
Now, should you steal that amount from your loved ones?
I couldnt possibly suggest such an easily achievable task!
That would be a simple solution, and wrong.
Though, asPerpetual Graceproves, wrong feels so right.A-
