Preacher Season 2 Trailer

The Preacher returns this Sunday (6/25) on AMC at 10:00pm EST and I can't wait to see the first episode. Look at this trailer it looks all types of fun and crazy. Who else is planning on watching the new season?

DVD Tuesday: Preacher Season One and X-Men: Apocalypse

I really enjoyed watching Preacher so it's a given that I was going to buy the first season when it came out. However for X-Men: Apocalypse I had been mulling over buying it, for one thing the trailer never sparked any interest in me which is why I didn't see it when it was in the theatre. And I also heard a lot of bad reviews for it and not just from critics but from other comic book fans.

I think my curiosity has taken over making me want to see just how bad this really is. Perhaps it will surprise me and not be a total mess but actually turn into something that's interesting to watch. Yes, I am trying to be optimistic, the same as I was with Batman v Superman which unfortunately did turn out to be a total mess.



Preacher


Description:

Fulfilling a promise to his deceased father, one-time outlaw Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) returns home to West Texas to take over his dad's church. Jesse's mission, however, becomes twisted when his body is overcome by a cryptic force that unleashes within him a highly unconventional power. Together with hell-raising ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga) and Irish vagabond Cassidy (Joe Gilgun), the preacher-in-training embarks on a journey to find God in a world inhabited by holy, hellish, and everything-in-between characters.

The darkly comedic "Preacher" is based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's popular 1990s comic book franchise of the same name. Executive producers include Sam Catlin ("Breaking Bad"), and Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ("Superbad," "Neighbors").








X-Men: Apocalypse


Description:

After the re-emergence of the world's first mutant, world-destroyer Apocalypse, the X-Men must unite to defeat his extinction level plan.

TV Round Up: Preacher

There are times when all I want to do is go out while other times I just want to stay in and nest. And the latter is just what I did yesterday, I spent a good portion of the day doing absolutely nothing except relaxing and watching a few TV shows and movies.

One of the shows I watched was Preacher, I can't believe I'm just now getting around to watching this. For anyone who has xfinity, it's still available On Demand until September 29th.


I know this show is based on a comic book series which I have not read and I heard complaints from fans that this show wasn't good. However, I was happily stunned (perhaps ignorance is bliss) by how good this show is. Although, it is weird but in a good way. Dominic Cooper (Reverend Jesse Custer), Ruth Negga (Tulip O'Hare) and Joe Gilgun (Cassidy) are so much fun to watch. All the characters on this show are completely flawed and extremely messed up.

I did say this show is weird right, the Preacher is filled with all this supernatural strangeness coupled with mystery as dysfunctional Reverend Custer returned to his small Texas hometown to not only save himself but his town. Then you have Tulip out there seeking vengeance while Cassidy is a strange mystery most of the time.


I have got to stop waiting until forever to watch shows I'm interested in seeing. Why do I do this to myself? I could have been watching the Preacher all summer. I don't binge watch show (not enough time) but I would consider the Preacher to be binge worthy. It's really one of those shows I can't stop watching. I only have a few episodes left to watch, I really can't wait to see how this crazy season ends.

Side Note: Congrats to Preacher on getting renewed for a second season.

Anyone who watched or is watching Preacher, what do you think of the show? Please no spoilers for those (such as myself) who have not seen all the episodes.
