It took me a few minutes to adjust to the long, flat, panoramic images of New Mexico that serve as the canvas for this series. But it took me no time to fall under the spell of Kingsley's performance.
With such a stonking cast making the trek out to the New Mexico desert it looks like this new neo-noir is going to be a ripper... The whole thing is already shaping as appointment viewing.
"Perpetual Grace" relies on lugubrious and lengthy flashbacks shot in black-and-white, so exaggeratedly haunted that heavy-handed veins of quirk, when they surface, seem less like counterpoint and more like jarring, unpleasant contrast.
Kingsley, in particular, seems to find himself in a kind of paradise of fantastic dialogue - like he's been born to the oddly funny cadence of Pa and his blunt truisms.
