Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Preacher season 3… Coated in a sheen of Louisiana voodoo, seeping sultry from pores coated in Southern sweat and welcoming us back with plantation melodrama, this third go round shows potential. Penned by Breaking Bad alumni Sam Catlin and featuring Michael Slovis behind the camera, ‘Angelville’ cross cuts […]

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Preacher season 3… Extracting a soul appears to be easy involving wheels, levers and foot pumps coupled with numerous lengths of rubber tubing and eager operatives in tow to hold down poor unfortunates. Throw in the needles, screaming, unsterilized insertion of blunt metals through paper-thin skin and you […]

Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Preacher season 3… Down in the darkness they run an unlicensed fight club with a difference.

[…]

Surrounded by sandwich fillings and glowing employee testimonials a dictator of renowned plots his conquest of the civilised world. Between the sun lamps, Catholics […]

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Preacher season 3… There is nothing more tastelessly crass, borderline blasphemous and pitch black pithy than an exploding Christ. Kevin Smith might have lead the charge with Dogma, George Carlin and Buddy Christ but Preacher not only takes his cake, consumes that spongy confection and redefines the line […]

Martin Carr reviews the penultimate episode of Preacher season 3… Aside from the theological debates, sacrilegious moments of dramatic dread and Preacher’s propensity for exploding evangelists you have to question the sanity of creators Gareth Ennis and Steve Dillon.
