"Preacher"?

I didn't see a post about the new AMC series, although I could have missed it. Did anyone else watch it? What did you think? I kind of liked it. I like the Tulip character.

Had two eps of FTWD and one of GoT to watch Sunday night.

The preview I saw had a fight scene reminiscent of those on Banshee, so I'm hoping there's a ton of that.

Monty Python meets Quentin Tarantino. I didn't get that when I watched it, though. I mean, I get the QT aspect of it but not so much the MP. It's more of a David Lynch-ish flavor. Still, I liked it. I'll watch.

Haven't felt like that about the TV series yet, at all. Not connecting with how they casted the characters. For some reason, I envisioned Custer being played by Timothy Olyphant... can't seem to get past that, yet.
