Preacher (2016) - Season 01

Excellent series constent enjoyment plays well

PREACHER is a very stylized version of a popular graphic novel. Be warned. This is not family viewing time and many people may not find the graphic nature of PREACHER to be appealing. For those of us, who like something different, PREACHER will take you on a bizarre and fascinating ride.Here is a series with a great cast. Be prepared for a quirky and stylized look at an other wordly experience. Preacher Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) is returning to a small Texas to head his father's church. Preacher Custer has a past--a really bad past--but now he has seen the light and wants to spread the word of God. Enter childhood friend and former girlfriend Tulip O'Hare (Ruth Negga) who has not seen the light and is set on Custer returning to his true ways.A mysterious force enters Custer and gives him powers of an immense nature. Will he use these powers for good or will everyone be destroyed. PREACHER is so much fun to watch and every twist and turn have the viewer wondering how the writers create such gloriously wicked fiction. Is this special power a gift from God or a curse? Everyone in town has a secret and even the humblest and meekest of souls is willing to do the devil's work. Jackie Earle Haley is deliciously evil as the local slaughterhouse tycoon Odin Quincannon obsessed with meat and expanding his empire. Does it get any more bizarre than this? Sure does. Wait and see what happens when some angels get into a bloody earthly fight. This seen is so violent and bloody and yet totally hilarious since you really can't kill an angel..or can you?Be prepared to expect the unexpected. The surprises come from all directions and they are always bizarre and usually shocking. There's the vampire Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) with another strange history and an Irish accent that is usually undecipherable. What did he just say?This is one truly unique and bizarre series with a cast from heaven. Everyone plays his or her part to the max and there are many characters to absorb and savor. It is totally crazy on all levels and that what makes this series extraordinarily delicious.

First off, this review is for the finished product, not the show itself, which is phenomenal. 10 stars. It's an amazing take on the comics. Great job guys.As for the Bluray itself. It needs some work. Hell it needs a recall and a better product sent out in exchange. At first glance it's a slick package and looks great. I would have liked an outer sleeve, but that's not really a problem, just a nit pick. There are a few big flaws and a few small ones.First of all, the disc menus. They suck. They're frustrating, and annoying. Sure they look nice, but they are ugly deep down. I could have done a better job and I'm half tempted to upgrade to a bluray burner on my PC so I can make my own version. Hell the menues on the home made porn DVD's I used to make had more effort put into them. Now I'm rambling and revealing way too much about myself so I'm just going to go ahead and finish this in list format fro anyone else with ADD.1 The menu is the same for all 3 discs. That is each disc's menu shows content that is on all 3 discs and selecting something not on the disc just gives a message "insert disc 2/3" in plain letters off to the side.2 Reaching the end of a menu closes it out and resets it back to the main screen, which is kind of abrupt when you are just trying to see what is on it. Plus, you could have changed it up for each discs menu, maybe added some looping graphics, or something.3 Instead of listing the disc content on the little 2 page flyer included inside, they put that all on the back of the sleeve so you need to remove it to read or remove all the discs, and then realize you still can't read it well and remove the sleeve anyways.4 The deleted and bonus scenes promised to us on disc one are nowhere to be found. I'll try loading it into a PC later and see if they are burried there somewhere. UPDATE. We found them within each episodes individual scene selections. Is this a new thing they're doing now? So this one gets a pass. I was most upset thinking they were missing.5 I did like the special featurettes they did have. I felt they could have had an extra one talking about the comics a bit more in depth, though that would probably give a lot of spoilers as the last scene of the series is basically the first scene of the comic series. Though having read almost all the comics I was still constantly surprised (pleasantly) in the directions they took.6 What I really wanted was some commentary tracks. Imagine Seth, Evan and the rest of the cast and producers all sitting around getting high or drunk while recording the commentary. An opportunity missed.That's it so far. My girlfriend is finishing watching the rest of the discs and will report back any other flaws. Don't tell her about the porn DVD's I mentioned earlier.

Came quick and as expected

I have truly enjoyed preacher so far what a great show I was also a huge fan of From Dusk till Dawn the series thought the shows were able to keep up with shows like Supernatural or the Flash so I truly hope that preacher keeps getting the network to keep pushing the show if the network promotes it properly I believe it'll just keep growing where is I feel like the El Rey Network gave up on From Dusk Till Dawn series when that show could have gotten just as big if they would have kept on promotionally pushing it too bad some of these networks give up on the shows before they get a chance and if they would just promote them better I think they would end up lasting a lot longer and have all of us fans enjoy them for many seasons

I am not an diehard fan of the comic, but I had heard that the premise and the execution was interesting. I decided to get Season 1 and I was very happily surprised at how much I enjoyed the show. The premise is interesting and the casting is spot on. The guest stars do an excellent job portraying their characters quirks and eccentricities. Every character in this show is slightly damaged and flawed, so be prepared that there is no "normal" (whatever that may be). I had fun and recommend this highly.

There's nothing quite like receiving your purchase a week sooner than expected. And in perfect condition.I'll let others talk about the superb series. My review is merely a "thank-you".

So many great characters... the "Preacher" was perfect... the heroin was a vicious little minx... that brought sex and violence to the mix.... the undying ??? ... Vampire was the mythical fun that would not stop at anything for a laugh, although he was really the tragic character of the series...

The first episode ticks along at a fair old pace and then the brakes go on. It's soo slow in places but also very very good. Preacher is perfectly cast, perfectly made, and perfectly twisted madness.

Loving the series so far. But why 3 discs? They all have the entire series on them and extras. Is this just my copy or a printing error. No issues playing them just a bit of a head scratcher.

The DVD arrived ok, if after a lengthy delay, but does not play. comes up with "Wrong Region" - something the seller conveniently does not point out.

Really different tv series but good. I like the packaging of this steelbook

Loved it and thank you amazon for a quick delivery 🚚
