Preacher - Garth Ennis's incredible comic picked up by AMC

Well, everyone has their own believes. I read the comic while I was still an atheist. And I'm not provoked by this material either even though I believe. To me this series captures eternal battle as much as Lucifer. Both are good series. Both give good laughs.
 
I'm not a huge comic reader, but i did read one of the Preacher graphic novels some years agao and I was rather taken by it. I was please to see that AMC had turned it into a TV series.

I'm bumping this as I recently bought the first series on DVD. I'm three discs in and still not sure whether i like it, or not. It's a slow burner, but the casting is incredible, it's got a great soundtrack and is very stylish. I'm not squeemish, by any stretch, but I think the violence might be putting off.
I'll reserve final judgment to the end of the series.

Or maybe AMC changed its mind?

I really don't know what goes in their minds and how the launched dates are fixed. But at least the date is out now and I'm pretty sure we are going to get amazing season with some very good laughs.

Good laughs with just a bit of wincing. :D

I think this season will reveal how horrifying Saint of Killers truly is because it wasn't really clear at the last one.
 
I loved the comic, but when I tried the first episode of the series, I felt they threw in too much stuff that as a reader you didn't get to learn until Preacher had been running a few years.

I might give it another go, though.

From the trailer it looks like season 2 will be a lot of fun. The first series got increasingly ridiculous but I'm still looking forward to this.

Anyone see Outlander's Dougal Mackenzie here? How about Red Dwarf's Warden Ackerman?

What an incredible bloodbath! I don't see how the Saint of Killers can be stopped -- not even by Preacher's Genesis powers.

He can't. That's the thing. There is no power on Earth that can stop the Saint of Killers. You try and you die.

I haven't watched it, but I wanted to say out loud, because it wasn't made really clear in the first season.
 
I have to say that worst thing be stuck with is sober Irish vampire stuck in the back seat on a road trip. Things that can come out Cassies mind are quite frightening, but at the same time a good laugh. Only in our worst imaginations would that happen in the real life. Thank God he had at least some smoke, before the Saint of Killers arrived to rain hell down on best the US Highway Patrol can offer.

Those boys, they down fighting for their lives. But what can you do against a celestial force? Nothing. There is no way they could have put down that demon. I don't think we can even imagine anything based on the science that could damage entity that is not from this world.

Jesse is. He truly is a man with the power. A godly power he shouldn't ever had. None of us should. Humans, according to the Angels weren't meant to be able to wield the Genesis. Still I don't think it would be powerful enough to make the Saint to eat his gun.
 
The humour is definitely back. Preacher offers again the best summer laughs. I couldn't stop laughing at Cassidy's analysis on the mysterious killer. Yeah, Saint of Killer's is definitely a terminator sent from the future to stop Genesis from falling in wrong hands.

The whole idea of a motel full of gun nuts was nuts. But then again it was nothing compared to the murderous show an angel put in the casino. People, we are weird. Angels, weirder. LOL
 
Was the first season as violent as the second and I've just forgotten that it was? It is funny, weird and one of a kind, but maybe too violent for my liking.

From the very beginning it has been violent. The first season starts with Cassidy in the plane, getting high with the guys who wanted to murder him. But thing in this isn't a static show in set location as in this season the main cast moves around, leaving very little character progression to the side-cast.
