This looks really good, even though I have no time to get into a new series right now, but one thing I noticed is Seth Rogen is a director/producer??? should have some humor in it.

No new episode this week. Who premieres a show then goes on a two week hiatus? Stupid AMC.

I remember complaining about basically the same thing when Fear the Walking Dead premiered. They did the pilot, one more episode, and then the next new episode was two weeks later (because of Labour Day): http://epguides.com/FeartheWalkingDead/

Excellent start, I really hope my excitement stays as this series goes along. I have a lot of hope for this show.

Finally got around to watching the first episode last night.

Definite departure from the graphic novels to begin (with a couple important similarities), but all acceptable changes, though I'm disappointed Jesse, Root and "Eugene" already know each other.

Suffice to say, it was very very good, and acting is surprisingly good as well. My wife even liked it, which was a surprise.

Looking forward to a full season that hopefully covers most; if not all; of the first graphic novel set.

Yeah I finally watched it last night as well. Loved it.

I really hope it gets enough of a following to continue the story.

I just finished the first episode and I enjoyed it but I am not 100% sure I understand what is going on.

So the Irish fellow Cassidy is some kind of vampire? I assume this because of the blood and his hand starting on fire in the sun.
Tulip is obviously some kind of criminal and Jesse did jobs with her in the past.
The preachers in Africa and Russia as well as Tom Cruise (on TV) got possessed and then exploded? I also noticed that they seemed to be 3 different denominations, is that important?
Jesse got possessed and didn't explode? Why him and not the others? Because he is more flawed? This is the biggest thing I do not understand the most... well 2nd most confusing thing.
The most confusing thing is the cop's (Sheriff's?) son, why does his mouth look like an butt hole?

Haha yeah AlbertaBeef I would just say that you have everything down correct so far.

And you can click those spoiler boxes to find out more but I'd say you should just find out from the show. It'll be more fun that way.

I can see why it is a bit confusing but I think you are supposed to have a ton of questions. You seem to have the main beats down so at least you aren't totally lost.

Your questions are things that just haven't been revealed yet... it's not that you didn't understand things. Basically, all of the answers will probably be revealed in due course so you'd just be spoiling the show for yourself.

FYI, the first episode is legitimately on YouTube thanks to AMC:

Commercial free too.

That is a brilliant way to promote their show to the masses IMO.

The premiere didn't have an intro did it? I heard the theme song is "Son of a Preacher Man", but I wish they would have gone with this:


I think the lyrical themes and creepy gothic country vibe would work perfectly.

Just watched the first two episodes. The opening of the second episode made me so happy. So, so happy. Squee!

I'm liking the direction so far. Nothing to make me really nerd rage out.
