BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – Ron Perlman is reveling in his role in Amazon’s “The Hand of God” and the expanding TV world.

“This is the most exciting period I’ve ever seen in television and it’s probably the most exciting place to be if you’re a storyteller,” Perlman told a TV critics’ meeting Monday.

He added a wry postscript: “Ten years from now it will be all (expletive) up, but for now it’s a beautiful place.”

Perlman stars in the 10-episode “Hand of God” as a judge who’s seeking vengeance – which he believes is God-directed – for a violent crime against his family. The series is available Sept. 4.

Coming off a satisfying run in FX’s “Sons of Anarchy,” Perlman said he wanted to see if lightning strikes twice.
