Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Preacher season 2… Back stories for pivotal characters are not known for containing the following elements. Teen suicide, chocolate box teen suicides or shotgun blasts to the head repeated on loop. Then we hit the implied underage sodomy issue which is likely to put one or two noses […]
Preacher Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘Mumbai Sky Tower’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Preacher season 2… Hunted by the gun totting personification of William Munny, Jesse Custer and company remain ‘Unforgiven’. Layering film homages five foot deep like a cholesterol packed cinematic sandwich, Preacher is at once self-referential and subtly sardonic. Moments of heart breaking pathos elicit genuine emotion amongst the […]
Preacher Season 2 Episode 1 Review – ‘On The Road’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Preacher season 2… Statistical circumcision and foreskin face cream set the tone. Eighties chart topping toe tappers, fast cars, film stock tomfoolery and mace spray on the nut sack set the mood. Not quite the wheat field car chase or forty thousand foot bar fight free fall that […]
DC TV series generating over $1 billion a year in revenue
Warner Bros. may have had suffered a few bumps in the road as it launched its DC Extended Universe, but the studio has certainly made huge strides on the small screen, so much so that the various DC TV shows are generating over $1 billion a year in revenue. The announcement was made by Time Warner CEO […]
AMC’s Decline Isn’t Complicated, It’s Just Bad TV
Samuel Brace on the decline of AMC… I am old enough to remember when AMC, back in the day — that day being five minutes ago — were at the top of the TV ladder. There was a time when they unequivocally ruled the roost, when all competition bowed before them. After Mad Men‘s debut […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘Call and Response’
Martin Carr reviews the season one finale of Preacher… Interrogation scenes are nasty. Half the time any punishment metered out is never seen only heard, because to be effective an audience imagination remains essential. Let me remind the men of Casino Royale when Craig is tied to that chair and his man parts are discreetly […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘Finish The Song’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Preacher… Preacher will become a landmark series. People will look back at this ‘R’ rated piece of ephemera in years to come and remember what was done here. As an example of everything being done right there are few comparisons which readily spring to mind. Only Breaking Bad […]
Preacher Adaptation: Not “better” or “worse” but “different”
Rachel Bellwoar on AMC’s Preacher adaptation… Similar to Martin Carr, who writes the show’s episode reviews, I started Preacher only slightly familiar with Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s graphic novels. The question of when to tackle the source material, however, had been tossing around in my head for a while. Usually, with shows like Game of Thrones, I’m a […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘El Valero’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Preacher… Things came to an intestinal head last week with El Valero’s combining form and one pissed off Preacher holed up in his chapel of love. Hallucinations, theological discussions and mad beggars on diggers turned episode eight into yet another what the hell happened sort of affair. Combining […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘He Gone’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Preacher… Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. A more dysfunctional version of happy families you are never likely to see. Everyone one here is trying to pretend that everything is fine, nobody has crossed the line and this is just another average day in bible belt […]
