Canceled Too Soon #224 | Perpetual Grace, LTD (2019)

Because you demanded it, CANCELED TOO SOON is back! This is the podcast where William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review TV shows that lasted only one season or less, and we're kicking off a new wave of episodes with a forgotten EPIX series starring Ben Kingsley, Jacki Weaver, Jimmi Simpson, Luis Guzman, and Terry O'Quinn, which plays like a Coen Brothers crime story that just won't stop getting out of control. 

Did PERPETUAL GRACE, LTD. deserve to get overlooked, or was it... CANCELED TOO SOON?! 

Bibbs and Witney find out in a brand-new episode of the podcast that started it all!!
