The second season of this violent, black-humored AMC-aired series finds Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper)—a bank robber-turned-priest with mystical powers—hitting the road with thrill-seeking former girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga) and wild, hard-drinking Irish vampire Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) to look for God in New Orleans, where the missing deity has reportedly been sighted in jazz clubs. Here, they face a demonic, eternal gunfighter called the Saint of Killers, who has been sent by a vengeful angel to kill Custer, and they encounter a secret organization that knows God is missing from Heaven and wants rogue preacher Custer to play the Messiah until the creator can be found. Meanwhile, an innocent kid (Ian Colletti) accidentally sent to Hell joins forces with a repentant Hitler (Noah Taylor) in order to survive. Based on the graphic novel by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, Preacher is not your usual TV show about faith and religion (and it is definitely not aimed at the faithful), as it is brimful of rude humor, violent heroes, potentially sacrilegious depictions of holy figures, and a Catholic hit squad that uses ruthless tactics to protect the faith from any and all threats. But this will continue to appeal to fans of caustic satire and fantasy action. Presenting all 13 episodes from the 2017 second season, extras include a behind-the-scenes featurette, and a gag reel. Recommended. (S. Axmaker)
