Preacher

[DanaC]

Oh how I love this show!

I watch this and think: why oh why was it not AMC who did the tv adaptation of Constantine. It would have been so much better...

I digress...

Preacher - I love pretty much everything about this show. I love all the characters. I like the huge quirk factor. I like the visual style. I like the comedy, the dramatic beats, the intense violence. I fucking love Cassidy! Joe Gilgun is awesome. I remember him as the tearaway kid on Coronation Street (ridiculously long-running northern English soap opera) in the 90s.

Dominic Cooper feels the right choice for the Preacher himself. I can't judge his accent, but it sounds good to me. Certainly I don't find myself constantly picking up little brit english cadences like I do sometimes with Brits doing an accent. Maybe it's because I haven't really seen much of his work, so don't have a strong association of him with his native accent, like I did with, say Chris Eccleston, whose accent in Leftovers jarred with me a bit.

Tulip is also great. I like her chemistry with both Jesse and Cassidy.

I've just watched episode 6 and I get the feeling things are about to get a whole lot weirder.

Anybody else watching this show?
