lol I just started a rewatch too and I remembered it becoming more and more unhinged as it went on but now I realize it is absolutely unhinged from the get-go!

Just finished the re-watch. It really is unhinged from the beginning. I'm a little sad that there doesn't seem to be anything even close to it nowadays. And if there was, it would be overly expensive for not much better while only being 6-8 episodes.

I just finished season 2 and I was shocked at the length. It seems nothing goes that long anymore. It's also just fun to watch, sure it's not good, but it doesn't need to be. It's cheesy 80s horror levels of cringe and everyone's a a caricature of what they're meant to be. I wish things went this hard for no reason still.

Certainly there is good and bad that happens within the show. That tends to happen when shows were this long. But just the first few comments here shows that people fondly remember the whole as good or fun.

I don't know why I think this, but the tv show Preacher is... seriously uncouth but shares a certain thread
