Preacher
5/10
I got
to watch episode two of Preacher. You wanna check out my review of
episode one click here. This show is continuing to make Jesse the
least interesting character in the series and it really can't afford
to be this way when there are so many other shows to watch. I get
that its early in the season, but come on. I'm not upset that its so
different than the comic book but it is doing what I was afraid of
and taking place in one town so far. It starts off with a cowboy in
the late 1800's leaving home. He bumps into Tobias Beecher from Oz
and his son. They are chatty as the cowboy says nothing and the next
day sees a bunch of dead Native Americans scalped and hung. I know
where this is going but it may be too early in the season for people
that don't to be showing what seems so out of place and random.
Meanwhile
Jesse is baptizing church members and Tulip shows up to get some
Jesus love and say nasty shit. She wants Jesse to do a job with her
and he doesn't wanna. We get a bit of Cassidy and Arseface together
which I liked. This guy named Linus confesses to Jesse that he wants
to do something to a girl he drives as a school bus driver and is
confident in this secret because Jesse can't tell anyone. People use
him as a way to talk about horrible shit because he can't tell cops.
Jackie Earle Haley plays a guy named Odin Quincannon that buys a home
from a couple and begin tearing it apart and his son that had his arm
broken by Jesse last episode looking foolish and taking it out on an
employee.
Jesse
has his steering wheel stolen by Tulip and he later arrives at church
and gets into an argument with Cassidy who gives him his life story
but it sounds fake because he is a vampire. Jesse gets drunk off of a
drink that is too strong for humans. Two guys show up to try and kill Jesse cut cutting him with a chainsaw while singing and playing weird
music. Cassidy shows up thinking they are vampire hunters and kills
them in a brutal fight. Again, Cassidy has all the interesting
scenes. Cassidy cleans up the mess but can't take it outside because
the sun is now up. Later Jesse is tasered and locked up by someone in
a mask that turns out to be Tulip. Oh, and Jesse found the kid wanter
bus driver and baptized him in hot bath water and used his power to
make him forget the girl he wanted exists. He also decides to try his
power on a girl in a coma and the two dead guys are still alive.
There
is way too much shit happening in this series so far. I would love if
they made Jesse more interesting and Tulip less annoying and focused
on Jesse's powers. There are too many groups doing hunting with no
clear reasons why and I'm not sure I want to stick around long enough
to find out. I give this show two more episodes before I check out
and just read recaps online and watch an episode that sounds
interesting. This cast has too many good actors and a good look to be
this not good.
