The only thing I understand so far is how fine Ruth is speaking in that hick accent. I'm pretty much lost like everyone else on the plot.I'm confused as to what's going on but Ruth nikka has my attention

It definitely has a more subdued tone than I was expecting
Not really knowing anything about the comics, they have set up this world w/a lot of colorful/weird characters (vampires, angels, creepy businessmen, deformed teenagers), but haven't really got the momentum going. I'm definitely going to stick with it because I feel they are laying the groundwork for things to come. Yet, some of the mystery leaves me
a lot of times.I do hope they are done with Tulip trying to convince Jesse to return to his old ways for awhile
. He seems intent on keeping his promise to his dad for some reason, but I am curious as to how he will use his powers to help the church/town 
Hi!
Bushes Hall Of Famer
last nights episode was just alright 
Well.... This "Carlos" thing is new.
I guess we just saw Herr Starr.
Miss Oatlash got a namedrop, but we haven't seen her.
These three eps have made it feel like a deconstructed pulp western movie, like there's stuff from the last 3 hours that could've made a highly entertaining 1 hour episode.
I'ma still stick with it, though.
Jesse's gonna extend his flexing too far and the whole town is gonna start hunting him.
We'll see how it goes.

I was definitely lost yesterday 
Besides the two angels and Jessie starting to realize what he can do I haven't read far enough a head to understand some of the other references.

Ive been somewhat interested in the premise and thought Negga did great as Reyna in AOS. I dont want to be Fear the Walking Dead disappointed if I pick this one up since me and the wife will have a big gap between Game of Thrones season ending and football season/twd mid season premiere.
If you read any kind of comics, you'll understand when I say this:
Preacher, as a show, would read better in trade than as the monthly (weekly) series we're getting.
That's not to say it's bad, but s far it's not
Like these really could be 30 minute episodes. There's too much filler here. There's too much arseface for no reason. There's no point in watching Odin Quincannon listening to cows being slaughtered. There was no point to the drawn out convo between Danielle and Tulip with the big "HOUSTON" thing and ominous music. There was no point in lingering on Starr (I'm guessing that's Starr) watching the torture film. There was no point in the kidnapping story that the sheriff was telling the angels. The angel watching the news on TV.
Will it be important later? I mean, you can't be witty like Justified or Fargo with all these Chekhov's Guns laying around. If it's supposed to be irrelevant but important later, then let it be irrelevant. Don't hang a huge HOUSTON sign over a scene and then leave the audience wondering "what was that about".
Uh.... "Chekhov's Gun" isn't a comic book reference. It's a- know what, nevermind. Google it.
See how annoying that was?
Show's pushing a 3.75/5 right now. I don't dislike the show enough to drop it, though. It would be interesting to see how viewership is doing.

"He loved “the characters, the exuberance of the world—like anything can fukking happen,” he said. “You go to the south of France, you can go back in time to the Old West, there’s vampires, angels, Satan. And it’s done with such confidence, and such bravado. There are sex detectives. It’s crazy. There’s nothing like it. Theres certainly nothing like it on TV.”
But it won’t necessarily start out that crazy. Star Dominic Cooper, who plays Jesse, confirmed that the main drive of the comics—that road trip going after God—is not going to be a prevalent part of season one. “I think that’s gonna happen later on,” he said. “I think we’re going to stay in the town for the majority of [season one.]”
That makes it sound like season one is a bit of a prequel"

Three episodes in and I'm not feeling this show. They need to start connecting the dots sooner b/c this wink wink nod nod shyt they doing is starting to get irritating. Its like they've made the show for only the people who are familiar with the comic and saying fukk everyone else. So many scenes where they don't even follow up and just leave you looking like WTF
