20 Best TV Shows Of 2016 

20. Preacher

Preacher, the acclaimed comic run from Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, is one of those properties long thought to be 'unfilmable'. From its commentary on religion to a character called Arseface for very literal reasons, and a whole host of violence, gore, and weirdness within, it often seemed unlikely it'd ever make it to screen.

Enter Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who, along with Sam Catlin, did exactly that. Everything outlined above transferred from page to screen, although with a few differences.

They took their time with the story of Jesse (Dominic Cooper), keeping him in small town America for the entirety of Season 1. It may not have totally meshed with the comics, but it did mean we got to know these characters better (with Ruth Negga's Tulip and Joe Gilgun's Cassidy both standouts).

The pacing was off at times, but mostly the show was fun, strange, and often outrageous. Praise the Lord, then, that it has a second season to come, which should be even better than the first now they can get on the road.
