Preacher

Yes it is.

Preacher is the Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg TV adaptation of the same, developed by AMC. When I heard about the project, I wondered if AMC would be able to handle the balls to wall, r-rated nature of the comic, and it appears they can.

Preacher takes place in Annville, Texas and follows Jesse Custer, the quintessential "man with a past". Presumably on the road for years, Jesse has returned to Annville to follow in his fathers footsteps as the small town Preacher.

The showed is steeped in brooding, Americana darkness, but also contains a funny side, just like the source material.

The pilot episode blew me away.

Quite simply, this appears to be one of the best new shows on television and will hopefully have a long life on AMC.
