AMC's Preacher

[Legoboss]

New show by AMC based on a comic of the same name that I've started reading. The first episode aired last night, around 90 minutes or so, I think. I personally loved it, even though it was a bit different from the first issue of the comic.
Has anyone else here watched it? What did you think?
oh yeah and the basic tv show plot:

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 vampire 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. The darkly comedic "Preacher" is based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's popular 1990s comic book franchise of the same name.

This looks pretty good. I was deciding on whether to watch Preacher or Animal Kingdom this spring.

I read  the comics when they first  announced the show and I really liked  them.  I liked the first  episode and the show  looks pretty promising.

One thing about the show though, if you didn't read the comics it  seems like it would of been  pretty confusing as to what  the hell was going on.  They  introduced  a  lot  with very  little explanation, which  I like because  we're not gonna have  to sit through a bunch of slow episodes explaining what's happening but  it might turn off a lot of people that  didn't read the comic.

Dont really have the time. I usually record episodes and not watch them until days later. Commercials suck anyways.
