Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
The overarching question with AMC's Preacher is less whether Jesse Custer will ultimately find God and discover why humanity has been forsaken, and more whether he'll like the answers he receives in the end. If "Dirty Little Secret" is any indication, the answer will be a resounding "No." Even as Jesse's quest received a much-needed jolt of momentum, our hero got a stark reminder that he lives in a very deranged and darkly comical universe.
One thing this series has really mastered over the past two seasons is the art of the cold open. I get a constant kick out of the disorienting approach the writers take with these opening scenes, throwing viewers in the deep end and leaving them to slowly grow accustomed to the unfamiliar surroundings and piece together the connections to the larger narrative. This week's opening scene was especially memorable it featured such an anachronistic take on Jesus Christ. For several minutes it wasn't even clear what time period that scene was taking place in, much less whom these characters were. I actually assumed we were seeing younger versions of Jesse's parents at first. And once it became clear that we were seeing Jesus losing his virginity shortly before the crucifixion, the vague setting and wildly anachronistic dialogue became all the more amusing.
