Fargo-style meets Pulp Fiction-style; This show is hilarious! It's witty, it's well written, the characters are fantastic! The story and characters build through-out with meaningful purpose; very entertaining. Didn't read the comic, and didnt even know it existed, but had a great time with this series.

Preacher is largely a cool show with a unique premise and characters. But, Preacher's first episode is really what set the rest of the season up for disappointment. The pilot is really good. Actually too good. Problem is, the first episode delivers these amazing character introductions, full of amazingly bad-ass stunts, only to dial things down to a simmer and allow its characters to talk ad-nauseam for 9 more episodes to a degree even The Walking Dead could only dream about. There is no sense of pacing. There's no sense of urgency. The mood is completely manic- sometimes overly serious, sometimes darkly comic. I expected for some character to stop at any moment and ask "Wait, didn't we used to be completely badass?" and let the ass-kicking commence. Sadly, far too few of these moments were to be had. Having said that, season 1 really only lays the groundwork for what sounds like a far more focused season 2. And when season 2 is released, I will definitely be there.

The first 7 episodes of this show were outstanding, then it fell into what, after writing up so many reviews these past couple years, i'm going to call the season fluff, and fell off dramatically in the last 3 episodes. When you're making a TV show it seems there's some core story, but often times, that core story, and the way they're telling it, simply can't be stretched out, so they put filler in, it's happened over & over, I really dig a show, then the filler subplots ruin it for me, the last 3 eps were just about unwatchable. This gets a 6.

Preacher is a boring, uninspired series that goes nowhere. Within fifteen minutes I completely lost interest in what was happening, and went off to look for something else to do. I kept the show running in the background and discovered it was a show where you didn't have to watch it to know what was going on. This is never a good sign. I haven't gone back to watch further episodes.

Four episodes out of six into the first season and I am wondering if anything is going to happen. Stylish ass-kicking does not in itself constitute a plot. The dialog is stilted and cliched; the acting shallow and ropey, and the characters are little more than types (man in black with a past, feisty ex-girlfriend, comedy side-kick, impassive nemeses). Whole scenes go by in which nothing is said that matters and the plot doesn't move. I have a feeling that this must just be 'True Blood' for straight men. We're just gonna hang around this small town getting to know boring people and solving their little life-problems forever. And the sign outside the church is getting old already. I'm bored.
