I was impressed with the 2nd episode as well and am really looking forward to Sunday night for the next one.
I love the friendship between Jessie and Cassidy. The casual way that Cassidy informed him that he was actually a 119-year old vampire from Dublin City and how Custer just laughed it off and then took another pull from his bottle.
So, you basically have a wayward Preacher discovering his faith at the same time he meets a hilarious and charming Irish drinking buddy who is actually a vicious monster. That should be interesting to watch play out. Will they be allies against a greater evil or square off? I think probably both.
I will admit to some confusion as to the mysterious vampire hunters who were torn apart by Cassidy in the church and then appeared intact later on. Was that a flashback or are they supernatural beings? (turns out they are "Adelphi angels"-- whatever that is).
Tulip is fantastic. She doesn't take no for an answer and eats up the screen. I wonder what the job she has for Jessie is because he is going to cave. I would.
I can't wait to find out what arse-face Eugene Root did to make everybody repulsed by him besides shotgun his own face. It has to be something really heinous. I love the conflicted look on Custer's face when he has to hug some of these people-- like his stomach is turning.
There isn't a single run-of-the-mill character in this show.
I'd also like to mention that the starkly beautiful, remote West Texas setting seems to be the perfect place for all these weird elements and people to come together. It looks fantastic.
I find that Preacher reminds me of a Tarentino flick in some ways, but I've never seen anything exactly like it.
For those that enjoy this sort of thing I recommend they check out Robert Kirkman's (Walking Dead) new show Outcast on Cinemax. Episode 2 is on tonight (Friday) and I just caught the first one last night. It looks quite promising.

Episode 2 kicked ass once again. If it's this good two episodes in then we are in for a treat if they don't completely screw the pooch writing/directing it.
Looks like Saint of Killers is going to be a player (yay!). That was the dude in the '1881' western segment.
On a sidenote, I had no idea that I was pronouncing 'arse' wrong my whole life (assuming Cassidy's pronunciation of 'Airceface' (best phonetics I could come up with) is correct).
Ugghhhh...I saw the previews and it looks really good. Unfortunately our satellite bill is already ridiculously high and I don't think I'll be adding Cinemax for another show. We get HBO for as long as GOT is on and then cancel it every year.
Sorta bummed they didn't get to another Saint of Killers update, but they laid a lot of other groundwork in E03. Odin Quincannon (the bald Meat and Power guy who was getting off on the cattle slaughter) sure is a creepy m'fer. I'm guessing that once all of the story lines are established, the oh-sh!t factor will really ramp up in this series. As it is, we've just gotten a taste of what is to come.

Haven't seen E3 yet, we watch that on Friday nights (been backing it up with Brooklyn 99 episodes, finally finished the season on that one this past week...
I'm still shocked that that show ended up being as good as it is. With Archer's current season being a bit of a letdown, Brooklyn is prob my fav comedy right now.
I love this show. So far, every episode has had at least one "holy $hit" moment. The preacher exploding at the start of episode 1. The church fight scene in episode 2. Quincannon shooting everyone with a shotgun right after it appeared that he had turned over a new leaf in episode 3.
Okay, so the shotgun scene with Quincannon was actually episode 5. I kinda forgot about a couple episodes there.
Anyone still watching?
We fell 2 weeks behind due to other life things going on and decided to let the season finish and watch the rest all together. We stopped watching around episode 4 or 5. Curious how things have gone over the past few weeks.
