US: Preacher - 2016

I saw this advertised a while back but never got round to watching it. Now that other series have come to an end (Arrow, Vikings, the 100, etc) may have to find this on Kodi and get it in my favourites to watch when the wife's not around

Amazingly, episode 2 was just as good as the pilot - that fight with the chainsaw was insane

I agree! I think its a very good show judging by the 2 eps we have already seen. Pretty close to the source material and great acting. It gives me a True Blood feeling but a fair bit better.

Good show, this and Outcast are filling the void left by Breaking Bad, True Blood and Banshee for me so far. Peaky Blinders too

Agree we're enjoying it here, even if I have to sqint my eyes when assface is on screen.

First 2 episodes were good, will continue to watch it.

1 and 2 were good 3 was cack.

Oh noes it wasn't - just because it wasn't wall to wall manic violence doesn't mean it was "cack".

I thought it was good to slow down a bit, let them catch their breaths and learn a bit about what the hell is going on, I'm sure it will be insane again next week.

Quiet characters episodes in drama can be excellent

This wasn't

I too have no clue about the origins but the first 3 episodes have been decent, shall keep watching.

So what was wrong with it then?

Lokai · 20 Jun 2016 at 21:40

Another good episode but damn, its going so slow. We've hardly seen any uses of his "power" , only a brief intro of the saint etc

Sorry missed this

Iv'e already forgotten

This shows a real mess. The only thing that works is the Irish character who I rather like.

Putty · 21 Jun 2016 at 10:36

I'm going to carry on giving this a chance however it's already becoming rather insular! It's starting to look like they're going to spend too long in that town.

yes im already bored of two guys who look quite retarded waiting to catch the thing in him.

needs to pep up and start going somewhere in next few episodes. or it will end up like constantine.

Started watching this on Amazon the other night, I'm really enjoying it. It reminds me a little of Todd & The Book of Pure Evil a bit, although that was more heavy on the humour.

rids57 · 30 Jun 2016 at 03:00

Renewed for a 13 episode second season.

hudson86 · 1 Jul 2016 at 17:39

A bit disapointed so far, promising , loved the first episode, but they are clearly turning the earliest bits of the origin story into the whole series and its already starting to drag.

The comic tears through all this very quickly in the first few chapters of gone to texas. Its starting to seem they havent the budget to do it properly , so its getting the Smallville treatment.

That they've barely tried to explain Genesys and maybe wont bother just smells of budget restrictions. No sign of The Grail and all that.

But could be wrong and maybe it will really let loose soon.
