An adaptation of the popular graphic novel by Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, “Preacher” has been well-received so far, receiving a 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes through five episodes and garnering over 3 million viewers in live+3 numbers — viewers during the live broadcast and over the following three days on various platforms.
