Pulling it all together is the cast. Cooper is fierce and weathered, Negga is spunky smart and Gilgun is just a joy to watch and hear, with that thick Irish accent of his.

Preacher is a black comedy, a horror funhouse, a mild meditation on belief and a wicked good time. There’s nothing left to say but: Amen.

Pretty much perfect. Hilarious, weird, demented, and touching. The emotions are real, the love is real, and the gore, guts, and degredation is real. The satire is crisp and prolapsed (not up its own ass). Not since that guy who wrote Candide wrote Candide, or since Weird Al's last album have we had such sweet meta-commentary on human society. You will fall in love, be annoyed, be dismayed, be enlightened, be catalysed toward anarchy, and think about your voice and how you weild it. You will wonder whether **** would be able to outsmart you and take advantage of your pure heart from behind the counter of a submarine sandwich shop.

It's my favorite Tv show. The best series based on a Vertigo comic. The story is surreal, putting the god (literally) who is a vicious pervert, as an antagonist, is interesting.

Nothing is as satisfying as a show in the confidence of its prime, and that’s where season 2 finds Preacher: laser-focused on the characters that we care about and teasing a ridiculously tantalizing treat on the road ahead.

It has a chance to crossbreed the better angels of character drama with devilish genre splatter. Within its oversize color panels there’s some hard-boiled philosophy about trying to be good in a world of sin. And there’s little on TV quite like its fallen world.

It's heavily serialized and yet the hours are pleasantly episodic, bridged by cliffhangers. It feels like a TV series, which isn't always how the show felt last year. Preacher also feels visually smoother.

Feels more epic than ever--though often less than coherent--in its rollicking fourth and final season. [19 Aug - 1 Sep 2019, p.13]

By the end of the fourth episode, the plot starts to show slight signs of life, but there’s nothing to indicate that the show will capture the energy and creativity of the source material that should set it apart.

This show is bloody insane and it doesn't shy away from it, doubling down after each episode. A few things could have been done better but I still love it.

It's just an amalgamation of different religious/action/etc shows/films with absolutely nothing original to add to... whatever genre it's supposed to be. Barely watchable.

Blasphemous, profane, Irreverent
Netflix has crossed a line with this series. This series tries to normalize secularism by making vulgar fun of Christianity. If you are a person of faith or spiritual this series isn’t for you.
