Preacher Season 3

Okay, let's talk about Preacher. If you haven't read the comics, you should and than check out the show. The show Preacher is an adaptation to the comics written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Steve Dillon. Its got it all, vampires, angels, demons, gods, various other supernatural beings, and more. Certain moments in the show are straight from the comics. Preacher is a mixture of soul splitting, corpse reviving, and blood guzzling goodness.

Since Preacher is in season 3, let's recap...my way. I don't want to spoil to much if you haven't seen the show yet. Plus, if you're watching season 3 than you already know what happens.

Season 1 -
The show starts out with a 'comet' that hurtles toward Earth and kills a Nairobi preacher. Two mysterious men, Fiore and DeBlanc investigate the death. Okay, now in Annville, Texas, Jesse Custer is a preacher of a failing church in the small town. Now let's jump to Cassidy, he's an Irish vampire who drinks and does drugs. Long story short, Cassidy kills some hedge funders after learning they're there to take him out. Now my favorite character, Tulip O'Hare. She's a badass who tracks down Jesse in Annville and invites him to help with a job, but Jesse refuses. Some shit happens, then at church, the 'comet' slams Jesse to the ground, except it doesn’t kill him like the previous preacher.

So anyway, Fiore and DeBlanc (angels from Heaven) track down Jesse and tell him he possesses an extremely powerful entity called Genesis. These two angels are babysitting Genesis and want it to bring back to Heaven. Then later on, Eugene tells Jesse that his new 'special power' (Genesis) is a form of cheating. Jesse gets pissed and yells “Go to hell, Eugene!” Eugene disappears while Cassidy witnesses it all. Jumping ahead, at church, Jesse stands before a packed house and calls God with the Heaven phone. God appears and speaks to the audience, but Jesse senses something's wrong. The angel pretending to be God finally admits that God is missing. Oh, no! Chaos and depression descend on Annville’s citizens. Meanwhile, the two angels, Fiore and DeBlanc go to hell to seek out the Saint of Killers. The Saint of Killers is a badass. His origin story is only seen in flashbacks. At the very end of the season, a 'danger' sign flashes in a control room and Methane gas blasts out of pipes around town. The guy that monitors the control room has a heart attack while banging a hooker, what a way to go...some embers of a cigarette ignite the methane and BOOM! There goes Annville and everyone in it. Jesse, Cassidy and Tulip, who were eating at a diner outside of Annville decide to go and find God.

Season 2 -

This season starts with Jesse and Co. racing down a Texas highway in search of God. Jesse uses Genesis to evade arrest from some cops that pulled them over but the Saint of Killers (The Saint tracks Jesse whenever he uses Genesis) tracks them and guns down all the cops as Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy make an escape.

Moving on. Jesse and Co. pay a visit to Jesse’s preacher friend, Mike, who says that God reportedly stopped by the strip club of one of his parishioners named Tammy. She informs Jesse that God visited the strip club to listen to jazz. Who knew God likes jazz. Now jumping to Eugene, he's stuck in hell. Eugene stands in a locked cell and watches a scene on loop. In the scene, Eugene talks Tracy Loach (some girl he was crushing on) out of killing herself after she learns that her boyfriend cheated on her. She recoils when he tries to kiss her then shoots herself. What a bitch! Eugene shoots himself...but doesn't quite finish the job (as seen below).

Back to Jesse. The gang look for God in New Orleans. They search every jazz club asking if God has been around. At one club, a bouncer leads them to a man in a dog costume, ready to perform a kinky sex act. What the f*ck, right? Okay, Jesse later meets a lounge singer by the name of Lara Featherstone and informs her that he’s looking for God. Jesse uses Genesis to save Lara from a band of men in white suits. Featherstone later removes her wig and joins the men in white. She orders them to send Jesse’s case up to the Samson Unit. Jesse’s file arrives at the desk of Herr K. Starr, the leader of the Samson Unit. Some crazy shit happens from here, gotta watch the show. I don't want to ruin it, trust me, it's good. Now back to Jesse. Herr reveals God’s disappearance. He explains that the Grail has protected Christ’s lineage in preparation for the end of the world, at which point the Messiah (Jesus’s 25th great-grandson) will reveal himself. 

He brings Jesse to the Messiah, who turns out to be an inbred simpleton named Humperdoo. Jesse sees drawings of dogs on Humperdoo’s desk. Oh shit, Man Dog at the jazz bar is God. When Jesse returns to the jazz bar the Man Dog is gone. 

More crazy shit happens...Jesse abandons his Messiah tour to rush to Denis’s apartment (Cassidy's son), where Tulip is dying from a gunshot wound. Cassidy tries to bite her but Jesse fights him off and insists they let her die. Jesse and Cassidy drive to Angelville with Tulip’s dead body. Cassidy tells Jesse that he has hated him for a long time. The end, right? Nope! God is staying at a motel as his Man Dog costume hangs in his room.

All caught up yet?

Season 3 -
Now this season looks promising as we get a look into Jesse's f*ucked up past. Let's jump right into last Sunday's season premiere episode. In an effort to save Tulip, Jesse and Cassidy take her to Jesse's family home in Angelville to his voodoo powered witch of a Grandma. She's a bitch, straight up.

Tulip is stuck in purgatory and fighting her own inner demons while Jesse makes a blood oath with Grandma cray-cray. To sum it up, Tulip is saved and Jesse is f*cked.

Overall, if you want to watch some really weird ass events and characters slapped haphazardly across the screen, definitely give this show and the new season a watch.

Preacher is on Sunday's at 10 p.m. on AMC.
