Preacher

Another example of a great comic book adaptation, Preacher uses the minds of Sam Caitlin, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogan to craft a show that's comical, gory, and beautiful. The series follows preacher Jesse, who trails the dusty roads of West Texas with a mysterious entity living inside of him; the story quickly develops into a wildly unpredictable tale. Running once more into his homicidal ex-girlfriend and an Irish vampire, Jesse gets roped into a journey out of Texas to find God. Much of the series, however, focuses on a small town, introducing a violent husband, a man still under the thumb of his mother, and a boy with a literal ass for a mouth. With a great blend of dark humor and serious elements, the show continues; its perfectly chosen cast propel witty dialogue and a slow reveal of Jesse's bloody past.
