This review contains spoilers for Preacher: Season 2.
Preacher ended its first season on a strange note, effectively wiping out the majority of the cast and leaving Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) and his pals free and unencumbered as they began their cross-country journey to find God. As much as that decision was a frustrating and abrupt way to end the first season, there's no denying the appeal in being able to start Season 2 with a clean slate. That allowed Preacher to become a very different show this year. Not always a better one, but at least one with a clearer sense of purpose.
The show certainly fell more in line with the comic book source material this year. While the two still diverged pretty wildly at times when it came to characterization, the general "three unlikely friends hit the road to find God" premise was finally, firmly in place in the premiere, "On the Road." That episode quickly and efficiently set the tone for the season as a whole. On one hand, the show's dark sense of humor was fully intact. The opening musical number, with Jesse, Tulip (Ruth Negga) and Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) cheerfully singing along to the radio while evading the police ensured that much. But it wasn't long before our heroes were confronted by the unstoppable Saint of Killers (Graham McTavish) and that levity turned to blood-curdling violence. Right away, the Saint provided the visceral danger the show needed, essentially morphing Preacher into a southern-fried version of the Terminator franchise for the first half of the season.
