My only gripe with the show is they've veered off too much from the comics. In the books Jesse and Tulip's love felt absolutely real, stood the test of time, and the relationship between Cassidy and Jesse was truly like brothers.
Which is why Cassidy's betrayal in the books was heartbreaking and as well as digging into his past. You lost sympathy for him until he redeemed himself.
I just hope they more or less decide to start following the books and get back more into what made Preacher so unique.

I think they're definitely going to be more in line with the comics come S3 since it's clear they're following the Angelville storyline. S2 was already MUCH closer to the comics than S1 was, with a pitch-perfect portrayal of Herr Starr
and they even threw in ****ing Humper(di)doo, which absolutely NO ONE thought they'd have the balls to actually do
At the same time, though...
You're right in that Jesse and Cass are meant to have a very close, brother-like friendship, which is why I feel that it's WAAAY too early to create such a HUGE rift in their relationship like we see in the S2 finale. I mean, Cass telling Jesse " I hate you " ? That wasn't even the dynamic in the comics when they DID stop being friends. I think it's just part of making Jesse more of a total ******* than he was in the comics, which is another problem I have with it.

I absolutely agree. Cass saying "I hate you" needs to be earned and Jesse in the show is so far removed from the comics that he's really not honorable, likeable, or outlawish enough to where you believe he'll do the right thing. I guess he could change once he is captured by his grandmother and confronts Jody But again, they ruined the dynamic of the brotherly relationship between Jess and Cass.
If they decide to go down that route again they need to properly portray their relationship, build up the love between Jesse and Tulip, and then have the moment earned in terms of the betrayal that Cass acts on. However, I just feel it'll be more of Jesse becoming completely corrupted by Genesis.
