June 12, 20168 yr Author I've only read the first collected edition of the comic series since I love almost anything Garth Ennis does. But the first two episodes of the show were sublime I loved the hell out of them it's so well done Dominic as Jesse is a fantastic casting, I really can't wait to see where they will go with this series. It makes me miss the hell out of the Constantine series though
June 13, 20168 yr I've been dreaming of seeing a good adaptation of this for quite a while, although I can't help thinking that nailing the tone is going to be a real challenge. The books were so dark, so dry, so outrageous and yet so oddly plausible at the same time. Seth Rogen's involvement makes me a bit nervous too.
June 13, 20168 yr Author I know your concerns Michael, it's... well Obviously the TV series isn't gonna be as dark and everything as the comics (there's no way) My friend said it was kinda like the Walking dead and how it has it's own kinda story and take off on the comics, but still keeping a sense of tradiitionalism to the comics. I like where TV preacher is going and I hope it stays this way but it could turn pretty easily
June 13, 20168 yr Yeah, I can't imagine a conceivable way that any network would allow an unadulterated version onto our screens, but if it's even a tenth as interesting and entertaining as the original work, then it'll be well worth watching. I'll certainly give it a shot if and when it reaches the UK, I'd like nothing more than to see them knock one out of the park, so to speak.
August 2, 20168 yr Author @Michael* I won't spoil anything, but they had the season finale last night. You would've loved it It was fucking amazing
June 26, 20177 yr I'm playing catch up on season one... About 3 eps in, and the Hubs and I are digging it.
June 26, 20177 yr Author It gets better! How they have done it has been really good, I know some people @Michael* included had concerns about Seth Rogen and his involvement but he seems to be doing a wonderful job
June 26, 20177 yr Poor cat I don't mind spoilers so if someone read the comics you can tell me if they are going to find God? Tell me the entire story!

I haven't read it all but the first three collected editions do vary especially now Spoiler The second collected edition starts with the hunt for god, very similar however they visit Cassidy's friend not Jesse's who in turn tries to kill them, also in the second/third there is a big introduction to the Saint Of Killers, giving his whole story, and how he gets kicked out of hell and scares the devil who sends him back to the land of the living. There is also a secret religious cult that is there to keep the bloodline of god pure, but the kid they are protecting is a bumbling inbred moron. also there is a man with only one eye who tries to kill Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy, they burn Cassidy and torture him, the man with one eye kills the supreme leader of the cult as well. That's only as far as I've gotten but it does vary a lot, though the show is very well done as I said in how they have this new path
June 29, 20177 yr Sounds to me like they're doing a Walking Dead. Obviously using the source material but branching off here and there.

Yes it does vary a lot but it it's to do something as good or even better I am not going to complain And I want speedballs -with less cocaine- too Cassidy is the best
July 3, 20177 yr Author Cassidy in the show is wonderful, the comics he's pretty kick-ass as well but the show cranked him up so much It's fucking amazing
July 18, 20177 yr Author No spoils, what they are doing with the history of Jesse and Tulip is fucking phenomenal The whole backstory of everything they have been setting up this season is shockingly effective. I always loved the comic back story but the new one is just wow.
July 24, 20177 yr To be honest Jesse is starting to annoying me with God. Cassidy do not seem to understand that his "friend" from Quebec do not like him What the Hell with Eugene? Not sure I like the "friendly" Hitler story. I don't want to feel sorry for that bag of shit Trying to figure out if the other villains in Hell were famous bad people for real?
