Preacher...

[Bowser]

The show took a pretty hard turn from the graphic novel, but frankly if they were to do this on any platform other than an HBO type of platform, they had to. WAY too much over the top shit, even for AMC, but they are doing a hell of a job with it. I've looked forward to every episode so far.

after the season finale I watched talking preacher...never watched it before....
they said that the comic BEGINS where season 1 left off....Tulip, Cassidy and Preacher going to find God...and kick his ass if he doesn't want help. lol

I've refused to look up anything about the comic...I love this show so damn much...my fav thing on TV right now...and I don't care. i don't wanna know about the comic so I can be surprised by everything. (I had read much of the TWD comics and it kinda ruined some of the show for me)

PS - interestingly enough they mentioned in talking preacher that in the comics you never even see preacher preach! so they wanted to set up the characters for the viewers and then begin.... nicely done IMO

so anyways....you are obviously familiar with the comics.
do you agree with the talking preacher assessment that season 1 was just a setup to begin season 2 where the comics begin....or is there more to it than that?

I liked season 1 but in reality it could have been 4 - 5 episodes long just to get to the same place. As far as the comics go I have a passing familiarity with them, did some research before the show started on line.

Season 1 was a set up but why spend so much time on characters the basically died via a nuclear fart? Not sure why they went this route but looking forward to season 2.
