US: Preacher - 2016

[Glanza]

S3 finale was possibly the best episode we've had this season.

was a great episode.so so good.

With a slow start but the mid and end made up for it in a big way, still no word if season 4 is getting picked up but time will tell.

With the way S3 ended it needs a season 4!

I’m hopeful we will get it.

Great show.

Episode 2 Calamari

 

[lolism]

Didn't even realise this had returned already. Excellent, I'll be catching up tonight!

Thoughts on the first two episodes?

 

[PlacidCasual]

I enjoyed the first two episodes but they were seriously gross at times.

Has anyone read the Preacher comic? I was wondering how similar the story of the TV was to the comic or was it just inspired by it. The reason I ask is the other Garth Ennis TV show The Boys is nothing like the comic but still really entertaining.

I have all the Preacher books, not read them in years but pretty sure it's very similar in most respects, obviously there are some things that have been changed for the TV show. Seth Rogan is a huge fan of the comics and iirc Garth Ennis has been involved in the show. That said after watching the latest episode I am sure they have changed Cassidy's backstory.

lastest episode was brutal lol....can't wait for the next one.

Season one was brilliant. Season two was dire. Three a little better. Four has been brilliant every episode.

 

[R3X]

This season has been completely nuts but a very well written dark series with pure Witt thrown in.

was that the final episode? it felt a bit rushed at the end....

Yep thats the show finale. Do agree it felt rushed, there was just too much going on.

 

[ivrytwr3]

Just binged the whole of Preacher

Found the ending a bit rushed and tbh didn't fully understand it - off to Google.

Awesome show, but:

Love Jesse in S1, but as the show progressed, i found him to be an unlikeable character - selfish etc.

Cassidy - woefully underused. He was bad ass when we first met him in the aeroplane, but was a bit of a pussy after that. We didn't see much 'vamp' from him. And also the sunlight kills vampires thing seemed to be hit and miss - a fricking umberella?!

The S4 Ep with God/Jesse eye eating was a brutal episode - turned dark very quickly!

I liked s1-2 s3 was okay then s4 I'm getting tired of the show already.

the fight scenes I just find my self skipping most of them because they go on forever and just its tiresome and boring to watch them

I guess its trying to be banshee like with the fight scenes but erm no

some of the story arcs drag on forever as well like the guys grandma...

 

[ttaskmaster]

If you've not read the graphic novel series, I suppose it's alright. A bit of Old Orleans swamp sort of weirdness vibe, like True Blood, perhaps...

Having read those comics myself, I thought it was ****.
Everything felt like a cartoonish parody of the original. The only character really close to their paper counterparts was Herr Starr, really. It felt like a noble ambition that got curtailed into following a more prevalent cultural fashion and padering to a wider audience not familiar with the source material, and in doing so they utterly ignored a lot of the key elements. It was like the Dwarf Tossing jokes in LotR.

I loved Preacher, though S2 was too long.

In many ways, I liked S1 the most (but that's the case with most TV shows, for me)
