I knew it was suspicious when the Comcast On Demand commercials proclaimed it to be the show "everyone is talking about" despite no one actually talking about it.
Literally every American was tuned to the news channels on Sunday, when the largest mass shooting in American history (committed by a guy with a Star Wars-themed bathroom) was being covered at the same time Preacher was airing. Do the research, what I'm saying is true.
>>70845400
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if a part of it has to do with people getting burnt out on how AMC handles shows
>>70845469
AMC was pushing this show on press. It got great critics, but you know if was because the source material is somewhat of respected among the generation X or because paid reviews,
>>70845522
nah, the show lost a -10% of viewers with each new episode. It will be lost even more this Sunday with the slow last episode.
It´s good?
>>70845593
Don't post nah at me ever again, fuckface.
>>70845400
>1.75 million total viewers
>>70845541
>Honestly wouldn't be surprised if a part of it has to do with people getting burnt out on how AMC handles shows
This. I've always hated how they just throw shows at the wall hoping that something sticks and keeping those shows on way past their expiration date.
The fucking Negan cop out was the last goddamn straw, though.
>>70845828
I know the way they treat final seasons of shows has pissed off a buncha folks
>we'll play the 1st half of the season one year
>play the final episodes the next season
>holding 4 or 5 episodes hostage just to extend the ratings another year when the show has been finished filming 2 years or more
Gonna be so glad to see the end of Hell on Wheels
>>70845400
no ep.2 the following week fucked it.
I really like this show so far. Last sunday was a terrible day for everything that wasn't a news channel. AMC knows quality shows and will see the long game (streaming). If it got bad reviews I could see them canning it, but it got great reviews. Plus they aren't gonna fuck over DUDE WEED LMAO like that
It's a stupid fucking idea for a show.
>>70845821
>>70845400
Same ratings as first few seasons of Breaking Bad.
Now what? /thread #rekt BTFO (vertical BTFO)
>>70845400
>taking too long to get going
>don't like the black chick as a lead, don't need SJW shit in any show
>>70845400
It's not Walking Dead or GOT tier but I don't think it's terrible for a cable show at all. I doubt it's going anywhere, tbph.
>>70845993
>AMC knows quality shows and will see the long game (streaming)
Unless it pulls just ungodly awful numbers that gives them free reign to cancel it they'll pull a Hell on Wheels
>move it to a death slot night
>hope it does even worse ratings and gives them the excuse to go ahead and cancel it
Only thing that saved HoW when they did that shit was AMCs death slot night is typically saturday which is usually westerns and who'd a thunk a western show would do well on a day that plays westerns all day
>>70846027
this, nobody I talked to even knew what breaking bad was until the I am the danger memes popped up.
>>70845400
Hope so, shit show.
>>70845593
game of thrones ends in two weeks, lets see how ratings our after that is over
>>70846027
>>70846284
Breaking bad was somekind of experiment for AMC. They expect Preacher to be the new TWD, also budget.
>>70846362
>Penny Dreadful ends this week with a 2 hour finale
>GoT ends next week
Is there even anything else on at the 9 to 11 period besides Preacher at that point?
Oh wait the Last Ship. that could quite easily pull the viewers if its on at the same time
>>70846566
The new season was postponed because of the shooting. If they start in two weeks more, Preacher slot is finished
>>70846421
what's the budget for preacher?
>>70847054
The same of a regular episode of TWD
>>70847070
sauce
>>70845756
Nah nah nah nah nahhhhhhhb
Does anyone know what Preacher's budget is
>>70847054
In interviews Rogen says they have a small budget. I dont think is TWD budget, but no less than Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul. CG effects and fight sequences should be expensive I think.
>>70845400
No starr, no watch
>Already shitty filler and it's only 3 episodes in
>Plot has already walked off a cliff
Where did everything go so wrong? The pilot was promising as fuck
>>70845400
>air pilot
>wait 2 weeks air a second episode
Whose fucking idea was this.
It´s a lot of bad choices and bad luck
>put it against GoT
>one week pause
>Orlando Shooting for third episode
>filler episode
>change the story, so you lost the fans of comic
>no defined story/plot
>no defined genre
>Cassidy stole the show over main chara
Doomed by destiny.
>>70846284
>nobody I talked to even knew what breaking bad was until the I am the danger memes popped up.
No memes for Preacher.
>>70848805
>change the story, so you lost the fans of comic
this doesn't matter but the rest is pretty accurate
>>70848805
This. Wild changes in tone don't help casuals, though the characters are all great. Maybe it'll chill out by the time we get to a non-Rogen directed episode, but by then it may be too late.
>>70845400
good. end the dog shit while they still can salvage a good HBO series in the future.
>>70845756
Nah, I think I will, bud.
>>70848687
So following your logic you wouldn't read the first 12 issues of the comic seeing as how Starr didn't appear until issue 13
>>70845400
Sunday was game 5 of MBA finals.
>>70846027
Is under first season of Breaking Bad now.
Also can be canned/cancelled since can posion any show after, like Ride With Norman Reedus debut wich was very low.
AMC should make a deal with HULU or Amazon
>>70849021
>Sunday was game 5 of MBA finals.
>GoT
>Orlando Shooting
>NBA playoffs
>NHL Eastern Conference Finals
>Billboard Music Awards
The show is not working as expected, no matter what´s happening on other channels.
>>70848653
seems expensive
more than Lucifer which second episode got about 6 million viewers
Lucifer confirmed for best comic book show
>>70849257
6 million viewers? that´s a hit
I thought it was doing poorly ratings
>>70849306
That's regular broadcast tv. The new season of Xfiles' worst episode was 7 million.
>>70849306
broadcast vs cable standards
preacher will last at least 3 seasons, pretty sure im the only person itt who understands ratings
>>70849306
Lucifer gets more viewers than anything on Fox except Empire and X-Files
>>70849384
1.7 mill is good for preacher?
Constantine was cancelled for similar ratings.
>>70849421
I try to remain pessimistic about liking any show to much from Fox.
Any excuse is a good excuse to cancel a show there
>>70845400
See, the problem with this is that its literally perfect for the 90's when it existed. Its visuals would be good with a Grunge soundtrack, I would love Chris Cornell as Preacher actually. Then people hate Christians now and being a Preacher is kind of passe' because evil preachers is really boring but good preachers is also boring. In the 1990's Preachers still had this cool edge, like we still had badass preachers or Christians in media like Boondocks Saints, that one dude from Hellsing, ... I think El Mariachi was a Catholic? I forget anyway it was kind of edgy being a Preacher back then, also there was this certain... Rural Gothic thing in style back then.
Anyway TL:DR I think today that this story is too passe and would have been better as an updated deal where there was this Muslim Preacher in the South and he was trying to convert people by all sorts of nefarious means and make this Mosque and all the assholes who tried to fuck with that would get fucked.
Anyway... Seth Rogan should fuck himself for ruining a cool property.
>>70849495
It gets more viewers than The Simpsons and costs like nothing to make
it's gonna be on for a while
>>70848687
he was in the first 5 minutes of this episode bitch nigga
>>70845400
So? I watched the 3 eps and they are shit.
>>70845724
This is relevant.
>>70849227
Eastern conference finals? Lol
>>70845400
Any social commentary?
>>70849493
>Broadcast vs cable
Broadcast is free so everyone in the country gets it. Cable is paid. Like Netflix.
>>70849673
what sorta ratings is better call saul getting?
>>70849693
Solid 2 mill and above.
>>70849759
nice
>>70849634
>>70845724
Is bad, don´t bother, read the comic instead.
>>70849673
I know, but 1.7 mill is enough for cable?
The show looks expensive
>>70845400
That's a shame. It's the only good AMC show.
Joseph Gilgun is great.
>>70845828
>I've always hated how they just throw shows at the wall hoping that something sticks and keeping those shows on way past their expiration date.
You mean like ever single channel in the history of television?
>Robot Chicken
>Rick and Morty
>Silicon Valley
>Family Guy
>Game of Thrones
These are the ONLY other cable shows which beat Preacher's rating last Sunday.
>>70845828
Why did Negan episode upset so many people?
I don't get it..
>>70845400
Should have been a Netflix show.
>>70845400
It is a discount Ash vs the Evil Dead.
Overall it is 'meh' but I will certainly watch the rest, because judging a show by a few episodes seems a bit harsh.
>>70845522
I watched the preacher... desu i didn't even know it happened until the next day. But still, good point.
>>70845724
It's ok at best. I really like this sort of genre, but it feels lame at times. It's watchable but not memorable.
>>70845756
Don't nah me or my son every again.
>>70846027
Good point, it could still turn itself around.
>>70850236
Wait there is new rick and morty episodes???
>>70850236
all of them dont have the half of budget of Preacher, except GoT
>>70845400
What was walking suns viewer count? Or whatever that awful cop show with the bald white dude after breaking bad that got canned after a season. Low winter sun?
>>70850372
As we've covered in this thread, nobody knows what Preacher's budget is
>>70845400
Damn. I like it for the most part. Seems like things are not moving fast enough. They need to get past this quasi religious bullshit phase asap because that is what is turning people off
>>70850389
even with that, is not small.
>>70849227
That's what Seth gets for trying to go maximum edgy
>dude hueueueueghah what if like we aired it this blasphemous shit on Sunday like when church is heueheeheuhawaw
isn't it on the sme time as Game of Thrones?
>>70845400
I'm still mad about the terrible ending of the comics.
>>70850430
>sunday
kek, I didn´t realized that.
>>70845400
no one cares about DC properties
>>70850916
Vertigo is not DC
>>70851316
this show sucks which is weird because Lucifer and iZombie are so based
Human Target was on point too
>>70851387
iZombie is based on a comic?
>>70851387
Preacher is great. The only complaints ANYONE posts are that it's not true enough to the source material (it's called an adaptation, hello) and /pol/shit about the creators and cast. Simple-minded criticism. Professional critics and the audience at large, on the other hand, love it so far.
Preacher is a good show so far. Not one episode has been bad.
>>70845400
>Say goodbye to preacher season 2
More like, say hello to Preacher being continued on Netflix, so I can binge the whole second season in a day.
>>70845400
Is it any good? I thought episode 1 started kinda boring then I just sort of gave up when they started ranting about men being stupid gurl power thing
>>70851937
weedman pls leave
>>70851962
>say hello to Preacher being continued on Netflix
Why people have the idea that every failed show will be picked/saved by netflix?
>>70851937
>Professional critics and the audience at large, on the other hand, love it so far.
Professional critics just saw the series as a promissing show, based in just the pilot and episode 2... The audience is dropping the show every week, did you read OP´s link?
>>70852583
Why do people have the idea that Preacher is a failed show when it's only three episodes in, has similar ratings to Breaking Bad, is performing well in the key demo, and has excellent word-of-mouth (except for here)?
>>70852620
Breaking Bad ratings also vacillated for its first few seasons, you haven't accounted for the fact that there was a gap between 001 and 002, and you're ignoring the special circumstances during the airing of 003, and you're also forgetting that Game of Thrones is outta here vsn. Did you read the thread? Do you have a working brain?
This is my favourite western comic
I wont be watching this trash though
> Tulip is a nigger
> Nothing to do with the Preacher storyline
> Jesse is a faggot
Really a shame.
>>70848835
This matters most IMO.
The story of the comic was 10/10 storyline
whatever pleb shit they replace it with is never going to match up
At least if you had the fans of the comic on your side they will shill it so hard the plebs will also come
>>70852643
Failed shows are continued in netflix.
Why are you sugesting netflix if this isn´t a failed show?
>excellent word-of-mouth
Where? nobody is talking about the show
>>70845400
>Say goodbye to preacher season 2
goodbye
you were my least favorite shit-tier tv show.
>>70845724
>It´s good?
"no"
>>70850916
Flash, Lucifer, Supergirl, and Arrow would say otherwise.
>>70845985
this is the most stupid and idiotic """"""""""programming"""""""""""" in history.
Why the fuck would you do this?
I want /co/ to leave. Your posts are juvenile and stupid. The unique poster counter hasn't incremented in the past 4 posts. Fuck off.
>>70853016
hahahaha eat a big fat dick, faggot
you're in the minority
>>70852970
I doubt if out of the 1.75 million viewers, even 100 of them are comic readers. Also comic fans are never satisfied. No matter how close a story is to the original source, you'll have fat neckbeards complaining regardless (unless the adaptation in question is from Star Wars or the MCU)
>>70852674
>Breaking Bad ratings also vacillated for its first few seasons
Preacher is not Breaking Bad, is not even closer. Preacher is a more niche show, dont have a defined plot and no defined genre.
Whatever, Breaking bad started as a low budget show, was an experiment for AMC. Preacher is aiming to be the second TWD, not a new breaking bad, there is Better call Saul.
>>70853466
Don't fucking post whatever at me, nimrod.
>>70853088
>rotten tomatoes
calm down Seth
your show is underperforming because is awesome.
>>70851806
vaguely
like in name and concept of cute zombie girl only
>>70851937
the 1st and 3rd episode were boring as shit
the second was cool though
it seems so sycophantic
like no genuine charisma in it at all compared to iZombie
>>70848828
Are you kidding me? The whole fucking show is the personification of memes.
>>70853635
well, none of the memes of the show are popular.
>>70845400
>Say goodbye to preacher season 2
I'll enjoy it while it lasts.Most good TV shows get cut too early for their time.The general public has shit taste.
Why did they completely ruin Tulip's character? Appearace and character wise.
>>70854064
Highly original contribution. Stop watching, Preacher (AMC) doesn't need your viewership.
its all because of the mongrel niggress
>>70854087
What? Tulip was my favourite character and they completely changed her, same with Arseface.
>>70854087
>Highly original
she's generic stronk women #752
>>70854117
Don't fucking post what at me ever again, drip.
>>70845985
Did they re-air the first episode in the same slot though? If they were smart they would have.
>>70854392
They even put the episode on youtube. Whatever, the ratings went down for ep2 and now for ep3.
this sunday ratings will be down again after the borefest of ep3.
>>70853954
>The general public has shit taste.
Not like Preacher is high taste
she isnt bad but putting it up against GoT what do you expect for ratings? and it not like a chick show its the same audience
>>70854064
McGyver with tits
>>70855703
She made one IED in one episode. You people are too much. Your complaints are completely silly.
>>70851868
not really, Tupil steal the comic (making it bad)
>>70853955
that is cassidy?
you see his eyes?
>>70845400
Unfortunately Seth Rogen is too well connected, and he'll keep getting work even after this flop.
>>70855870
>cassidy
>you see his eyes?
Surprise! quality adaptation
>>70856063
>>70855870
I was thinking about this, and they really screwed the pooch on it, if Cassidy had the shades all the time/ if they came off the camera would pan behind him it'd instill some sense of mystery for the viewer, BUT! we knew 3 minutes into his intro he's a vampire so fuck it.
>>70856150
this... they fucked up this thing so badly it's doomed
inb4 0.2 rating next ep
this shitshow will be canceled by episode 5 and i couldnt be happier
>>70846027
the thing is... people watchin Breaking Bad where hipsters wanting to watch whatever was on Tv.
people watching Preacher are people familiar with the series, or comic book readers that like it, if they notice it stinks, they'll leave and nobody else will be there to watch.
>>70853088
these are FACTS.
>>70853088
>Preacher boasts enough gore, glee and guile
But there's been very little of those things
There's been very little of anything
>>70852970
>10/10 storyline
Sorry, it was great, it was better than the show, but not a 10/10 storyline.
>>70856491
>cassidy or jesse talking about how good is america
>jesse and astro talking about vietnam
fuck, those chapters are so shitty. But I like the fat pope arc. It is fun
eyes are really important in the comics, but I know that they will not care about it
At least, the eyes of jesse become red when he use the word?
Shit 90s edgemaster comic makes shit show, I'm so shocked.
>>70855776
She took down a helicopter with a bazooka made from paint cans.
>>70846156
>Walking Dead
>GOT
>good
>>70853088
wow it's almost as good as supergirl then
>>70856063
>>70855870
quite frankly that's the least of it. Actors need to work with their eyes. He's not the terminator, it doesn't work the same way to hide his eyes as it does in the comics
everything else is shit tho
>>70856298
What're you on about.
I don't read comics because they're for children and an inferior art form, but Preacher is decent television, and the cheese is rather refreshing.
You are really over-estimating how many people read your shitty comics. Vast majority of people who watch superhero shit have never touched a comic in their life.
Isn't 1.75 million viewers good for a cable TV show?
Those are the numbers Breaking Bad had for the first four seasons of its run
>>70860116
Breaking bad has ascending numbers along the season, Preacher have descending numbers
>>70845724
yes, it's really fucking good. My new favorite show.
>>70856298
You're confusing real life with 4chan again m8. 95% of the viewers of this and every other comic based movie or tv show never read the comics, or probably any comic ever. Comics aren't as popular as you seem to think. Sure, the people that post on chinese cartoon board do but normies don't.
What are you morons even arguing about? Preacher comics was trash and still is, the show is least commercial enough for plebs and morons, perfect for this board
>>70845400
>last sunday... going up against a terrorist act
>also, same time slow as GoT
It'll get a second season, AMC doesn't have a lot going on rn now anyways, but they'll move it off Sundays against GoT
>>70860116
Breaking bad has ascending numbers along the season, Preacher have descending numbers
>not liking Ruth Negga
Loved her ever since Misfits. And her character fits the surreal, grindhouse vibe they've built for this adaptation.
WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE ORIGINAL STORY?
I DON'T WANT A LE THOUGH BLACK WOMAN CHARACTER AND WHO OKAYED THE "MY WIFES SON" CHURCH BITCH?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
