Various elements of the episode will be discussed in this review, so beware spoilers. And watch the episode bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e you read on, lest you face the wrath of the almighty. Or Cassidy…###Of the three main characters, Dominic Cooper's Jesse Custer, despite being the focus of the series so far, has struggled the most to make an impact. And even when he does, there is the problem that he seems to drift between moods faster than a car transform’alter s gears. One minute he's desperate to escape his past and be a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent man and a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent Preacher, the next, he casually cover’budge s out of his church as his flock go mad after learning that God has in/with regard to’concerning’regarding saken them and vanished somewhere. That said, we got some rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent moments between Jesse and Tulip, peculiar ly as the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue eventually’ultimately filled us in on what happened with Carlos in a full flashback that was by turns funny and emotional. Hopefully eventually’ultimately acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ting down to his mission in the comics will breathe additional life into Jesse Custer; and thankfully it seems he learned his lesson quickly that trying to use the Genesis power to make Tulip kiss him doesn't end well in/with regard to’concerning’regarding him (or his face).###The flashback that allowed some rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent work from Cooper was also a fine reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue case in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Ruth Negga who, let's face it, has been pretty wonderful all season. Tulip here got to be tragic alongside her usual kick-ass anger, and the scene where she and the Preacher hand Carlos weapons bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e proceeding to kick the living snot out of him (off-screen) was a great piece of dark comedy. She suffered a little later on from the focus convert’transform ing back to Jesse, especially during the arrival of "God" but with luck, the reduction in the cast down to the core leading three will make sure she stays in the mix from now on.###All you really need to do is give Joe Gilgun someone to play off of, and here he has Sheriff Root, who is still looking in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his son. The jail scene was a great example of using Cassidy's seemingly immortal nature well, and allowed him to be as caustically charming and funny as ever. We'd also note his delight at the idea of the road trip and yet another chance in/with regard to’concerning’regarding him to potentially make a thousand more enemies via his dislike in/with regard to’concerning’regarding The Big Lebowski.###The Sheriff has been a typically odd character in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue , but he hasn't always appeared to be functioning as a human being might. That's no fault of W. Earl Brown, despite’in spite of’albeit : the same can be said in/with regard to’concerning’regarding e grossly one in such a odd’peculiar town in a story resolute’resolved to be weird sometimes at the expense of even the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's internal logic. Still, Brown has given the lawman heart and soul, and his "interrogation" of Cassidy is a fantastic use of both characters undercut mildly’faintly by the fact that Root learning of Cassidy's true nature (and not instantly trying to kill him in/with regard to’concerning’regarding being a monster) seems a little out of left field. As does his sudden decision to let the creature go and all but dropping his concern in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Eugene until he has the chance to ask "God" in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his wherewith regards to’concerning’with respect to s.###Despite the work being done to establish up the various oddballs, rednecks, perverts and meat obsessives of the town, it would seem they were merely’barely destined to survive the first season. We don't yet know of anyone really has survived the methane reactor explosion that appeared wiped the town off the map, but if that sets the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue on the path to becoming more like the comic, then perhaps that was a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent thing. Many of the townsfolk's stories had little impact on the grander scheme of things and others (such as Emily) were inconsistent from week to week. Still, you possess’own’nurse to give it to the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue in/with regard to’concerning’regarding being willing to shake things up to such a degree.###And so the first season ends with a bang. But also something of a whimper. The finale – an extended episode to tie up some storylines and kick one off anew – delivered on the madness levels we've come to expect from the series, but reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue -runner Sam Catlin (who both wrote and directed) didn't quite pull it off to perfection. Some sequences, including the whole scene in the church with "God" and the jail chat worked wonders. Others had some impact (it was nice to eventually’ultimately acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure the full story of Jesse and Tulip's rage against Carlos), yet somewhat served to slow things down when the finale could possess’own’nurse been ramping up to a fast conclusion. It has definitely been a bumpy first season, but you can't deny the creators' ambition and commitment to making the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue crazier than most of what is on our screens right now. Preacher looks and feels like nothing else, and comic reserve fans will likely be thrilled to see that this first batch of episodes effectively served as a long pilot in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the road trip reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue to come. We're not sure we'll miss Annville all that much, and it's fun to claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate of the possibilities that lie ahead.###Highlight: A chat with "God."###Lowlight: The montage of townsfolk going nuts rang a tad hollow.###Kill of the week: Eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone in Annville! Except maybe Eugene. Who remains in Hell.###Quote of the week: "Balls." – "God". Hhhm… You can't tell Seth Rogen had something to do with the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue , can you?###MVP: Tulip, in/with regard to’concerning’regarding several different emotional reasons.###Random despite’in spite of’albeit t: Donnie is reading Gorillas In The Mist in bed. We'd love to see that reserve club meeting, but sorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious ly it won't happen now.###Airing on AMC Sunday nights in the US, Preacher is available weekly on Amazon Prime Mondays in the UK.
