AMC's Preacher

AMC has launched their new series; "Preacher". This new series is based on the popular comic books by the same name. Right off the bat, you can tell this is going to be an amazing TV show.

We follow the life of Jesse Custer, a preacher who's taken up residence in a small town in Texas. He wants to help people and tries to erase his past. In the first episode, we meet Jesse, his old friend Tulip and Cassidy, a foul mouthed Irishman who seems to have some interesting powers.

Preacher is incredibly well done, it has a very dark aesthetic and the writing and acting are top notch. Although I was a comic book reader in the late 90's, I never got around to reading Preacher, but you certainly don't have to be familiar with the source material to enjoy the show.

So far, my favorite character has got to be Cassidy. I'm not sure if it's his accent, or the fact that he's a 119 year old vampire who lives in the church's attic. I was incredibly pleased with his battle with two strange men who seem to be hunting him down. A chainsaw battle in a church? Yes please!

Preacher airs on AMC every Sunday, make sure to watch it and let us know what you think!
