Preacher: Season One (2016/Sony Blu-ray Set)



Picture: B Sound: B Extras: B Episodes: B+



There have been a slew of successful comic book adaptations for the small screen as well as in movie theaters, though none have been as adult and wickedly violent as Preacher. Produced and Directed by Seth Rogen (yes, the actor) and Director Evan Goldberg (his longtime writing partner on films like This is the End and Superbad), the show stars Dominic Cooper (Captain America, Dracula Untold, Warcraft) as our lead star Jesse Custer, rising star Ruth Negga (World War Z, Color Me Kubrick, Warcraft), and Joe Gilgun (This Is England, Harry Brown) as Cassidy - an odd Vampire like you've never seen before along with a cast other colorful characters.


Jesse Custer has a dark past associated with Tulip O'Hare (Negga) that only the two of them are completely familiar. Turning away from his villainous former self, Custer poses as a small Texas town Preacher and helps restore faith to the struggling community. But when Tulip comes to confront Custer about some unfinished business, many other shocking revelations come to light and we discover that Custer has some unique and ungodly powers that are not considered normal - includes those linked to Hell and the Devil himself.


Ten episodes make up Season One with the Pilot, See, The Possibilities, Monster Swamp, South Will Rise Again, Sundowner, He Gone, El Valero, Finish the Song, and Call and Response - the season finale. These episodes span three Blu-ray discs in length.


Presented in glorious 1080p high definition with a widescreen aspect ratio of 1.78:1, there is a vast improvement in the show's television broadcast as to what we get to see on these discs. Much of the show takes place in the yellow colored desert, but every inch here is rich and detailed. As for the sound mix, which is also a huge improvement over the original broadcast, we get a DTS-HD (MA) Master Audio 5.1 lossless track on each episode that sounds pretty great - equaling the dialogue and action sequences to give your home entertainment system a workout. A Digital Copy is also included.


Special Features include...

Deleted & Extended Scenes

''The Unfilmable Pilot''

''The Stunts of Preacher''

Gag Reel (Blu-ray exclusive)

''Chainsaw Fight Breakdown'' (Blu-ray exclusive)

''Behind the Killing Machine: Saint of Killers'' (Blu-ray exclusive)


Renewed for a second season on the AMC Network, the show pushes the boundaries of violence allowed only cable television by bringing the comic to life, with a great cast and crew behind the lens. Very excited to see where the show goes from here!
