Preacher

A few years back a couple of my friends introduced me to the world of "alternative" comics, Sandman, Transmetropolitan, Preacher, Constantine .. pretty good stuff, i gotta say. So i was very happy when i heard that Constantine was due to be made into a TV series; but, we all know that story. Mediocre show, and quickly cancelled.

Now, Preacher seems better, the first episode (only episode aired by the time of this review) seemed pretty good and managed to capture the feeling of the comic books; i understand that to some it might seem bland, but i know things which they don't know.

Which, incidentally, is my main concern; Preacher gets to be pretty mental, will AMC be able to keep up, or will they dilute the effort? It wouldn't be the first series to have a great start and then to cheese it up later on.

For now, i liked it. I would really only recommend it to Preacher fans, and say to the others "wait until the series develops a bit".

My vote: 8/10, due to go either up or down.
