Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Preacher Season 1 earns its spot. What makes Preacher Season 1 work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. Fulfilling a promise to his deceased father, one-time outlaw Jesse Custer returns home to West Texas to take over his dad's church. Jesse's mission, however, becomes twisted when his body is overcome by a cryptic force that unleashes within him a highly unconventional power. Together with hell-raising ex-girlfriend Tulip and Irish vagabond Cassidy, the preacher-in-training embarks on a journey to find God in a world inhabited by holy, hellish, and everything-in-between characters. Dominic Cooper and Ruth Negga lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2016. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Preacher Season 1 is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Watch for Dominic Cooper in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.
