Or is it worth persevering. Recovering at home from a minor op. Am on ep 2.

With Dominic Cooper? I love it!

Do you mean 'Preacher', the TV series? I thought it was amazing - quite shocking in parts though.

The first episode is very confusing because you have no idea what's going on but I'd say persevere.

Apologies if you're talking about something else.

Persevere. Took me a few to get into it, now I love it. First couple were a bit gruesome for me but it is good honestly! Hope you feel better soon.

Yes the to series. Half way through episode 2 and considering finding something else. Bit I hate doing that. Like not finishing a book. But it's not every day I get to laze around watching box sets.

Persevere. I didn’t like it at all until half way through the series. It's very surreal.

Nothing happens at first, but I was gripped by the end. Although if you haven't seen Jessica Jones watch that instead!

I started on Jessica Jones and didn't take to that either. Ok thanks all will persevere with this and then try JJ.

Tulip is my hero. Looking forward to seeing her in the film about Mr and Mrs Loving soon. Keep at it, it's a big different and starts coming together. Feel better soon, Grin

Preacher is a fantastic interpretation of the comics. Yes - it takes a lot when you first watch it but it is fantastic.

Don't bother. There are some memorable moments and great actors involved but it never really comes together, slumps in the middle and finishes off with a piss poor close. What a waste.

YABU :)

No seriously stick with it. Obviously it's easier if you have any knowledge of the graphic novels behind it, and it's a bit gory in places but it settles down a bit.

Also if you like this kind of thing, the actor that plays the Preacher and the actress that plays Tulip are a real life couple and live together in London.

I loved it! Have you watched Turn? Also on Amazon Prime, it's got Jamie Bell in it, and I think it's on season 3 now so great for a binge watch.

Into the Badlands is well worth it on Amazon. And Constantine.

If you're watching on Amazon Prime
I recommend True Detective - really gripping first season!

I second the suggestion for Vikings too!

I only really stuck with Preacher because I love the comics so much. Tulip and Cassidy are amazing but I'm not sold on this version of Jesse.

The end of the last episode gave me hope and I get the feeling season two will be better.

And Jessica Jones is definitely worth sticking with.

Ok so I bailed. The op I had was in my head and I think I needed something a bit easier to just bliss out and follow and mumsnet at the same time think I will pick up with it again when my heads less ouchy. Gutted OITNB was so short so now going for your suggestions of Jessica Jones and Vikings (true detective done done and bloody loved it done.) thanks for your good wishes all.
