THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW.
Hello readers,
I apologise for not updating Devil In The Skull for almost a month now. I have been focusing on my studies and CCA since things have changed after polytechnic started back in April. I even made a drastic change of CCA. Instead of going back to performing arts, I decided to join Table Tennis as my CCA. So that is what I have to say for now if you are wondering what I have been doing.
Back to the actual point, I just finished watching the pilot episode of this AMC's latest supernatural series, Preacher. Based on the comics published by Vertigo (which also gives you Constantine and Lucifer), Preacher follows a man named Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), who just happened to return back to a town in Texas to fulfil his father's promise. He somehow later gained this ability to actually have the Word of God and thus from there, he begins his journey to actually find God. Along with Jesse on the journey are Irish vampire, Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) and his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga).
I remembered waiting for Preacher since late 2015, especially after watching the trailer of the series. I have always been keen on this kind of supernatural series and being no stranger to this religious faith and beliefs that are sometimes discussed or mentioned (if you know what series I have been catching). With shows like Penny Dreadful are currently airing on television, Preacher was not a disappointment.
What makes Preacher worth the watching because of the story. The beginning of the show got me hooked the moment when the African priest exploded and slowly more and more exploded. I also liked the supporting characters, especially Ruth Negga's Tulip who really looked badass. For a series like Preacher coming out in such season or the month, I applaud the flow of the pilot episode and how it did a great job in introducing the main characters equally.
So if you happened to like supernatural series, longtime comics fan or something to watch, Preacher is one of those television series that you should give a try. The series appeals to both comics lover and even newcomers like myself. Looking forward to the next episode and seeing how Jesse Custer explore his own sudden ability.
Ratings: 7/10
P.S. There will be a blog post on life soon, to make up for my sudden disappearance after last posted on Captain America: Civil War.
