Nice. This might be the perfect show to watch after GoT. Possible great back-to-back viewing.

Interesting......

Still not sure what this show is about but that first episode was fugging awesome.

First episode was really good.

I have read the comics and didnt know how they could convey the story on television, but the first episode was really great and makes me feel like they are up to the task.  Not taking it exactly as it is on the comics but definitely getting across the essence of the story.  I enjoyed it.

I was trying to explain what type of show it was to my wife who never read the comics or anything.  The best I could come up with was "It is like if The Walking Dead and True Blood had a child it would be this show"

I also thought the casting of Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy were spot on

I've never read the comics but the first thing that came to mind while watching the first episode was that it had a True Blood vibe.

Kudos on the True Blood mention. Was trying to think of what Preacher was reminding me of while watching, and there are definite True Blood vibes. 

Hopefully Preacher doesn't turn to total poo like True Blood, though.

I still havent watched the final season of True Blood, but I heard it was poo.  Was a good show for a while though.

I watched it last night, and I'm loving it!  Right balance of humor and drama.  Like the characters, will keep watching and supporting!

Don't waste your time.  True Blood had like 1-2 good seasons and I'm not sure I kept wasting my time on it, probably because of Jessica.

Anyway, Outcast is a good show too coming on Cinemax (at least the pilot was).  Officially not out till June 3rd but it's OUT THERE.   It's also filmed in Rock Hill, so that's cool.

Rock Thrill!!

So, air one episode, wait two weeks to air the second. Seems risky to wait. Easy to forget about a summer show.

Open your eyes...

What a fun show! This is going to be an enjoyable summer show. I hope it keeps going!
