Preacher

Preacher has to be one of the hardest shows that I've had to describe in all of my reviews. It was so bizarre that if I tried explaining it to you you probably wouldn't want to watch it. So I won't and you should. The biggest thing I can tell you about this show is that I promise you've never seen anything like it and I promise you'll have a good time watching it. It has plenty of violence, drama, comedy, mystery and thrills to keep just about anyone entertained. If you didn't watch this while it was on that's actually an advantage for you because this show is definitely better watched as a binge instead of waiting week to week and then months between seasons. It's not going to be on anyone's best ever list but it's still definitely worth the time to watch.

Ignore the bad reviews here. . .go watch this for yourself and come up with your own opinion. Some of the reviewers here obviously got triggered by the content of the show. . . yeah it's not for everyone but if you're a fan of the genre, it's terrific. Kind of feels like it has a Quentin Tarantino feel to it mixed with the bravado of characters from Evil Dead / Army of Darkness . . .Rogan's own feel to it. I love all the characters, even the antagonists - Satan, the All-Father, Killer of Saints, Jody, Hilter, Herr Starr, and the rest of the gang are all really well done. Non stop laughs and has kept on getting better in season 3. Has been a fun romp and looking forward to more episodes.

Preacher is such a weird and original show that I had a great time watching when it was on. It was based off a comic book of the same name. It's about a one time outlaw named Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) who returns to his home in Texas to become the new Preacher in his dad's old church. Once there he gains a power that will change his life forever. From there things get weird and after his town is destroyed he goes on a mission with his ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Nega) and his Irish vagabond vampire friend Cassidy (Joe Gilgun) to go and find God, who left heaven to come to earth and live among us. I told you...weird. But it was such a fun show.

Gets better the further in you go.

Casting is excellent, each character owns their role.

goes places you wouldn't expect, surreal and funny endings.

The visuals are nicely done. sharp photography.

The actors who play the lead roles, and supporting cast, fit well into their characters. Enjoyable and entertaining to watch.

This show won't be for everyone. Some may be put off by the fresh edge of Preacher. It's darker and different.

I worked in a comic shop after decades of X-Men Comics. I read a few of the Preacher comics but a friend/co-worker of mine was far more into them. When I realized that this was a Series, I purchased each season on blu ray. As someone who has been a "comic book geek" long before the term was cool, I can tell you that as an adaptation, Preacher was almost perfect! Far beyond any Marvel or DC movie. Try to prove me wrong but there are very few comic based adaptations I have seen that fit more than Preacher. The casting is as near to perfection as you can get. Cooper and Gilgun (especially) are perfect. Ruth Negga as Tulip is physically against the comic but Ruth is definitely a perfect Tulip! The casting is PERFECT!! The plots are pretty awesome! Great job!!
