Posted on 6/6/16 at 5:46 pm
can somebody give me a general overview of the show?
i don't know if i want to get invested in a new show and may push this aside until streaming down the road. curious if it's worth watching in real time
how have the first few episodes been?

I would also like to know this. Just for reference, have you read or are you familiar with the source material?

been decent, a little slow in some areas..but, it needs to be slow in those areas.
Cassidy is stealing the show, should watch. Nothing to lose if you come in with no expectations. May enjoy it a lot.

This is my concern. I absolutely love the comics so I'm afraid it won't live up, especially being on cable. I guess it's still early to tell but I wonder what they're gonna do with some of the more adult aspects of the story.

Nice little thread already going if you want to see if there's something there to pique your interest. Fwiw, I'm really enjoying it with no familiarity with the source material.

Interesting characters, no real story yet.

I'm avoiding that thread cause of spoilers. I did post one thing but I only read the response to my post. Probably gonna get caught up tomorrow and then I'll go in that thread. Til then, Slow's modest little thread should suffice

It's like a Seth Rogen pot-induced fever dream after smoking all night with Tarentino.

The setting: West Texas
The cast: A preacher with a dubious background, a vampire, a crazy thief lady, and townsfolk.
I think this is a supernatural story set in the middle of bumfrick, nowhere. It's violent, profane and pretty bloody (so far) -- I'm sure it will push the boundaries on all of the above as well.
Synopsis: Bad things happen to everyone.
So far it's interesting, but I'd wait till 6 eps or so are out so that you can binge watch - before starting on this (mainly because I hate waiting).
PS. I have NOT read the comic that this is based on.

It is a fun watch but it is all over the place. Preacher and Cassidy characters are great.
Cassidy's "He's walking around with an arsehole for a face" line was hilarious.
Seems like though (IMO) it will take 5 episodes for things to tie together. Unrelated note--I liked 'Feed the Beast' that followed.

I watched the first two episodes with no familiarity to the source material. It is solid. They are doing world building right now. It could get really good towards the end of the season. I recommend streaming after s1 is over

Well there's only been two episodes so far; not much of an investment.
I am a huge, huge fan of the original comic. The show strays significantly from the comic in some places. I'm still enjoying it though.
The show is doing a good job of letting the audience know that anything goes. Its odd. Very odd at times. But fun.

He stole the comic too. He is a great, fun character.
I haven't seen the show yet, but I plan on it very soon once I have the time. It's one of my favorite comic series, and if done right would be a fantastic show.

I never read any of the source material and am very much into this one. It's really cool to be into a show from the very beginning without any clue of what the Hell is going on. Enjoying the characters and progression as it's leaving me wanting more each week.

I never knew much about it until the AMC series. I'd say it is definitely a must watch. And I get the sense it will get even better.
Compared to TWD, it's much less depressing and more fun.
ETA: like somebody said, it does have some Tarintino influence and style. It is basically a Western with supernatural and/or extraterrestrial stuff added in.

Cassidy has had the most action so far. The church scene this week had an Evil Dead feel to it. Little comedic gore.

I find it pretty entertaining. Better than most of what's on tv now.
I haven't read the comics so there's no frame of reference going in which I think ultimately makes it better.
Give it a watch. It's only two episodes in. If you don't like it then you really haven't wasted much time.
