    Et étonnamment poussif également : difficile de ne pas piquer du nez à chaque (long) épisode durant lequel on se pose toujours la même question : "quand est-ce que l'histoire va enfin commencer ? quand est-ce que ça décolle ce truc ?"

    A part brasser du vent et se la jouer redresseur de torts alcoolo-tabagique, à part utiliser son "pouvoir" de persuasion très persuasif et coller des gnons de temps à autre, le "prédicateur" très angéliste est une coquille vide qui fait toujours "toc", peu importe ce que les abrutis de scénaristes tentent d'y mettre ; sa comparse agitée très casse-burnes n'est pas mieux logée, elle qui semble concourir en permanence au festival de la reine des connes du mois.

    Le débilos de vampire qui sert à rien à part tenter vainement d'amuser la galerie et l'autre gogol à tronche de cul participent à la vacuité ambiante, sans compter les "méchants" et leurs grands chapeaux qui sont juste là, eux aussi; pour meubler cette couillonnade générale, prétentieuse et navrante.    … Expand

Whole scenes go by in which nothing is said that matters and the plot doesn't move. I have a feeling that this must just be 'True Blood' for straight men. We're just gonna hang around this small town getting to know boring people and solving their little life-problems forever. And the sign outside the church is getting old already. I'm bored.… Expand

    This is pretty bad. This TV show absolutely mangles the original source material. It is a shame that they felt the need to take liberties (and that they decided to cast someone so bland and vanilla as Jesse Custer, a.k.a. Preacher). Seth Rogen should just play unfunny stoners in the films of Judd Apatow, and nothing else.

    What can I say about a show that is adapted from a comic, but has very little to do with the comic? This show is Preacher in name only.

Sure, the characters are great, but their journey is a huge part of what makes them great. Why the producers, who are supposedly fans, chose to not follow it even a little bit, is quite perplexing. If only this show was made by HBO, then maybe it could of been done well, but AMC was a bad choice. This review is only based on the first two episodes, so maybe it will get better, but based on what I have seen so far it doesn't seem very likely. I was genuinely surprised when I saw this show had mostly good reviews. Even if this show wasn't based on a beloved comic book series, I still don't think I would like it; It tries way too hard to be this crazy weird reality that Preacher was based in, but it just comes off as desperate to be different in order to attract an audience.… Expand

    Just watched the pilot. Baffeled as to how this low quality show is getting praise. No substance, style or entertainment here that's worth the time. Change the channel, read a book or go for a walk instead. Better use of your time.

    Simplemente, basura. 0% de respeto al material, dialogos y tramas absurdas. Al menos en TWD y JDT respetan, esto ni siquiera. Han convertido Predicador en Smallville.

    Puto Seth Rogen.

    What a total piece of garbage. Saw the first episode and after 15 minutes hit our favorite button on our TV.....delete. Watched it because of Seth Rogan and the show is a dismal disappointment.

    Seems pretty good so far. Horrible casting for every character so far. Did the creators of this even read the comic? Is it so hard to expect characters to be at lease a little close to what they are supposed to be? I would give it a 7 for an early review but i deducted 3 off the top for the problematic choices and the downright racist choice for tulip.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Para quem acompanhou a série em quadrinhos não recomendo em nada, não tem como engolir essa história totalmente modificada em nenhum momento. Cenas de luta fraquíssimas, os atores foram escolhidos para o casal principal por pessoas que não leram uma página sequer do graphic novel.

    Nunca leu pode servir.

    Se leu então esqueça essa merda.

    For those who followed the comic book series not recommend, I do not like this story completely modified at any time. Weak fight scenes, the actors were chosen for the main couple of people who have not read even one page of the graphic novel .

    Preacher is a boring, uninspired series that goes nowhere. Within fifteen minutes I completely lost interest in what was happening, and went off to look for something else to do. I kept the show running in the background and discovered it was a show where you didn't have to watch it to know what was going on. This is never a good sign. I haven't gone back to watch further episodes.

    I never liked Seth Rogen. I hate him even more, after watching Preach season finale and totally mess with the original comics. This show sucks. A lot.

    What an utterly pointless show... I mean – how can you take great comics packed with all the dark humor and interesting characters and manage to transform it into this garbage? Seriously, don´t watch this, rather read a comics, this stuff is completely wrong and a truly sad paragon of the nowadays remake trend.

    Preacher is a black comedy, a horror funhouse, a mild meditation on belief and a wicked good time. There’s nothing left to say but: Amen.

    It'd be easy for Preacher to operate as a cut-and-dried adaptation; the comic is vibrant, with an incredibly specific tone and complicated backstory. But in reimagining it for television, AMC dug a little deeper, and came up with something more satisfying and complex.
