Well, they started off with a bang! I can’t remember who else was watching. @anon61221983, I think. @Melizmatic maybe?
I think some people complained for the bit slower pacing and character development, but now that is established thus far it is moving much faster. And a lot more tension.
The two support characters I think out shine Preacher in many respects. I too really like Negga and its nice to see Joseph Gilgun again, who used to be on a UK show called Misfits (troubled teens get superpowers).
I have not watched season 1 yet… I was certain it would pop up on the Netflix streaming (as it has other AMC shows), but has not yet. I can’t seem to find if it’s going up anytime soon. I might look into getting the dvds, cause I certainly want to see it.
PM me if you can’t find it and I can put it on a drop box. Just until you get the DVDs.
First season, I think, was super solid. I am sure you will love the Tulip character, but overall I have been very impressed with it.
Note the first season is a bit slow as they are developing who and what is going on. Slow as in not a huge amount of action. I still need to pick up the graphic novel to compare, but at the same time I am happy with this being my first introduction.
Side note - its weird Seth Rogan did this. I guess he isn’t a complete mutton head stoner
3 shows a night equates to at least 3 different dead bodies every 24 hours; that shit adds up, and it’s not like people aren’t gonna notice a pile-up of corpses…
I haven’t read it, but I think the comic book starts where Season 2 starts.
Preacher reminds me of Reaper a little, with the bizarro supernatural premise and the surprisingly high quality. There’s even the parallel between Seth Rogen and Kevin Smith.
Is it just me, or is Jesse kind of a dumbass when it comes to using “the Word” effectively?
For instance, once he had control of the Saint, why not command him into a long term coma or something? Because you know that armored truck ain’t gonna hold him for long, and Custer didn’t even bother to try restrain him within it.
It seems he lets his emotions get the better of him. I like you idea, but would it work? Like does it “wear off”. Did the people he tell to “not move” never move again? I haven’t read the comic, but I would think eventually it would wear off. So telling him to just “sleep” might not work as well as being trapped in a steel box.
But for as clever as he was to trap him, he also didn’t think everything through either.
Like? He appears to be Cassidy’s estranged son. I am not sure there is more to him than a plot device, but we will see.
