Storyline
A preacher sets out on a mission to make the almighty himself confess his sin of abandoning the world. With his best friend Cassidy, an alcoholic Irish vampire, his love Tulip, a red blooded gun-toting Texan, and the power of genesis, an unholy child born from an angel and a demon, Jesse gives up everything to set the world straight with its creator. —John Simmons

- TriviaThis is the fifth attempt to adapt Preacher to moving pictures. The first had Rachel Talalay as the director and James Marsden as the protagonist Jesse Custer. The second was going to be made by Miramax Films. The third was an HBO series to be written by Mark Steven Johnson. The fourth with Sam Mendes direct and Neal H. Moritz and Jason Netter would have produced the film from Columbia Pictures.
- GoofsCassidy has tattoos. However, he heals, and since a tattoo starts out by being skin "damage", it is unlikely any tattoos applied would survive any healing session he undergoes.
- Quotes

A non-addictive replacement for Ambien
Since I'm not a fanboy of the comic, I can approach this show with a completely unbiased opinion.
It put me to sleep. Four times.
It took five attempts to get through this first episode without drifting off to sleep at some point during the viewing. While I'm sure that fans of the comic are squealing with glee at the prospect of their favourite comic being adapted for the small screen, I sincerely hope that future episodes include elements to make this show .... what's the word I'm looking for ...... bearable. While I'm sure that the show is being faithful to the source material, so far that doesn't speak well of said source material. It's only because AMC has delivered surprise hits like "The Walking Dead" and "Breaking Bad" that I'm giving this latest effort the time of day. If it's still anesthetizing me by the third episode, I'll relegate it to the "They can't all be gems" pile.
