Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) is the weary preacher at the All Saints Congregational in the small town of Annville, Texas. He is possessed by a presence and gains special powers. Tulip O'Hare (Ruth Negga) is his lifelong ex. Single mom Emily Woodrow (Lucy Griffiths) is his loyal supporter. He is befriended by new arrival Irish vampire Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun). Eugene Root (Ian Colletti), the sheriff's son, is known as Arseface after a gun shot incident. The town blows up. They go on a road trip. There is a supernatural killer, a sleazy supervillain, secret society, Hitler, God, and even a defective Jesus.
Seth Rogen and his friend Evan Goldberg help created this show based on the comic book. There was a bit of hype and the show has a promising start. It has three great leads with very engaging actors. It has some weird sh14. It's fun. The premise is a bit rambling and quite frankly, it borders on being a mess. The second season has the trio going on the road after blowing up the town. It's almost a metaphor for blowing up the show to start anew. Sadly, the act of blowing up only made the mess messier. The story's rambling rambles even more. The search for God is rather nebulous without God being a regular character. Also what's up with Lucy Griffiths? She seems to get roles but she never seems to stick. This project is flawed from the start. Despite the compelling characters, the show struggles to have a specific structure or goal. It starts with some promise but it degenerates into a road trip to nowhere.
