AMC has never been catering to popular tastes, spending too much effort

The first 30 minutes of a movie/TV/novel is very important, because these 30 minutes lay the main tone and style of the whole movie/novel, regardless of whether the story is clearly told (in fact, no work will tell the story in the first 30 minutes. understand), whether the characters are distinct, and whether the scene is beautiful.
You fall in love when you fall in love. The monologue of the protagonist of Dexter's "Bloodthirsty Forensic Doctor" at midnight was enough to make me fall into the pit. And I fell in love with "Missionary" from the above shot.
As the Preacher missionary of the fourth adaptation of DC Vertigo's magical series of comics and American dramas (the first three are "Constantine", "I Am Zombie", "Lucifer"), the first episode (even the current four episodes) you have no way of knowing what it's talking about.
Africa? Russia? outer space? Texas, USA? Not to mention the flashbacks from episode 2, where everyone is busy. But if you're a fan of fantasy/horror, the gory/weird shots and settings of the first episode are enough to keep you looking forward to the next episode.

The bloody elements that stimulate the eye are
mixed with the dark magic style,
which is spicy and dark humorous.
The pilot episode beats and draws the protagonists in various locations, including the former underworld gangster Jesse and Jesse's old girlfriend. Tulip and the vampire Cassidy were introduced to the scene, and they started fighting wildly without a word of reason and consequence, thus starting a good start for the violent style of the play.
It's not as nonsensical as you think, but you can't have a very clear reason for the plot direction in the first episode, but I'm not too worried about the quality of the plot. After all, it's a drama led by Sam Catlin, so I don't worry about the quality of the narrative. Can diving, and its co-produced and produced "Breaking Bad" is the best proof.
Many people see that the producer is Seth Rogen, and they will consciously replace the show with the dark humor category, but from the style of the first episode, it may disappoint Seth's fans, and his super-long star collection This movie is the end is different, although Preacher is also full of all kinds of incredible things, but it is a real violence and magic.

In addition, the casting of the film is also highly sought after by the audience.
Dominic Cooper finally let him play the leading role after N years of soy sauce. Cooper, who has his own evil and charming aura, interprets the contradiction of Jesse very accurately and delicately, creating a sense of helplessness that is lost and has to go on.
In fact, Cooper has always been a professional user of contradictory characters, and is good at playing characters with different personalities, such as Howard Stark in the Marvel world. And his own evil spirit made him play the role of the king in the currently popular "Warcraft".
Whoever wants to look like a king, we love Dominic without waking up.
Ruth Negga who plays Jesse's ex-girlfriend Tulip, do you all feel familiar, she is the queen in "Warcraft", and then the two of them played CP in Preacher again, lol

But I have to say, Ruth is very convincing to play these crazy "gold hunters". At the same time, Tulip plays the role of Chicken Soup for the Soul in the show.

Joseph Gilgun, who plays the vampire Cassidy, is a very eccentric person, so it is not difficult and convincing to interpret a violent "child".

So, salted fish and greens, each has something to love, whether you like it or not, it's all here.
