Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book TV Show Worst To Best
4. Preacher
Any series based on a Garth Ennis comic was always going to have to up the ante, and it's to AMC's credit that they've delivered upon that with Preacher's first two seasons.
Based on the comic by Ennis and the late, great Steve Dillon, Preacher stars Dominic Cooper in the titular role as Jesse Custer, a man of faith with a criminal past and a penchant for convincing others to do as he pleases. It's carried largely by the strength of its leads, of which Ruth Negga is a major part, but it's wonderfully shot as well, owning its aesthetic with a brilliant black and white get-up and a healthy selection of vampiric gnashers to boot.
It's brilliant fun, darkly comedic and a fairly accurate representation of the actual Ennis comic. Producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin clearly harbour a love for the source material and, for the most part, it shines throughout, making Preacher one of the most enjoyable superhero shows of 2017.
It also hates on DMR's Come on Eileen, which is more than enough for us when all's said and done.
