I've tried to watch 2 episodes and am still not sure what I'm watching.

I'm about done. Someone who knows more about the series give me a reason to stick with it.

So far it's SLOW and uneventful.
 
Tough to watch so far. I can't stay focused on it. I start wondering what is going on and rewind only to find out I still don't know because they don't explain anything. I like the characters but I hate feeling lost.

I'm with @MegaPoke . I'm not sure what is going on, but I think the characters are interesting and the acting is good. But, I enjoy shows that have me constantly trying to figure out what I am watching. Was a huge fan of LOST.

I like it. To me, part of the interest is the not knowing whats going on. I'm with Been, that is why I liked Lost so much. That is until the last episode where I was left sitting there saying wtf?

I binge-watched the entirety of LOST a 2nd time. I felt it was much more satisfying, and made much more sense than I originally thought...including the final episode.
 
Back to Preacher....

Do you guys think that the 2 guys with the chain saw, music machine and coffee can are vampire hunters, or are they hunting the creature/force that has possessed the Preacher (and Cassidy just assumed that they were hunting him)?

Having read the comic book series, I have a decent idea.....but I got semi-blasted for revealing a little something that was revealed off-handedly in the next episode.

I think they are representatives of The Grail, a secret organization protecting the bloodline of Jesus Christ whom has modern day descendants. I honestly don't know how they are going to present much of the story of the comic books. It will be highly controversial if they just follow the storylines anywhere close to verbatim.

Additionally, I don't personally see how they can actually depict some much of what the comic books did. It would be just too controversial. So I could be wrong on just about everything. They may just take the concept of the voice of God being with Jesse Custer and go off on their own.

Not reading your spoilers. But wanted to thank you for using the spoiler option.
 
What was the significance of the flashback to 1881 with the sick child?

no idea. This is what I think I saw.

Sick kid. Mom sends dad on a journey to get medicine. Tells him to be back in 2 days, 3 at the most. Don't dilly dally along the way.

Dad runs across a group of nice people looking for a new start out west. Has a meal with them. Kills them all. Hangs them from a tree. Then continues his journey.

Maybe Dad was possessed by something evil? Not sure.

thought the ppl hanging from the tree looked like native americans. I took it as the tree is something he ran across later that day. I think they showed the same tree modern day at somepoint in the episode.

Ah. That makes more sense. Thanks.
 
I just watched about 20 minutes of last nights episode. I'm out. There is nothing good about this show.
 
Sorry to hear everyone's kinda, "meh" about it. Previews looked interesting but I haven't had time to watch any of the recordings, yet.

I haven't watched the most recent episode yet, but so far I have really enjoyed it. Crazy show, but strong characters and acting. I will post again after I catch Sunday's episode.
 
I've only watched the first two but I like it. I've read the books so I get what it is about. That probably has a lot to do with it.

I still like it. It is still very mysterious at this point. Will keep watching. I really like the vampire character.

I read the books as well. I'm probably getting more enjoyment out of it because of that. Not because I get what it is about per se, but more because I like seeing the different creative choices they are making due to the constraints being on tv on a cable channel places upon them. IMO, the books as written are basically unfilmable for TV.
 
I haven't watched the Sunday showing yet but I like what I've seen so far and I haven't read the books. It is more difficult trying to figure out what's going on at times but it's pretty entertaining and the characters are good.
