Nice. After a slow start the comic is just getting started.

 

[Shifty]

Just finished the first trade, pumped for the series to debut in June.

 

[Slick]

This has been kinda quiet. Anyway new trailer.

Episode one was amazing, i might have to find a way to get Cinemax for this

 

[chamber-music]

First episode was fantastic. Really faithful to the comic.
The tone and visuals were on point.

Haven't read the comics but I liked the first episode a lot. Especially with it being a cable show, I expect them to amp the creep and gore factor.

 

[Slick]

Damn that first episode was great. It expanded on the comic in cool ways. Can't wait for more.

 

[Slick]

Kyle seemed a lot more friendly than he was in the first issue.

 

[Shawn Wayne]

Good first episode. Haven't followed the comic, but this show looks promising

 

[X-Ray]

Don't read the comics but I loved the 1st episode.

 

[Marvolo]

Watched the first episode. Pretty good. It made me want to read the comic. I bought volume 1. Ill try to start it sometime soon.

 

[Shifty]

Really enjoyed it. Haven't gotten around to watch Preacher but I'll be waiting for the second episode of Outcast to premiere. The comic book has come to life.

Awful live ratings but on Cinemax that's only part of the equation. New subscriptions, retaining them, on demand viewings and repeats all factor in.

It did well with the sampling, see what tonight's episode brings in.

This was a really good episode. Donnie got what he deserved.

 

[chamber-music]

Grace Zabriskie is the go to actress for creepy mean old ladies.

 

[kvz5]

^ She's so good at it.

This show is darn good. Slow burn but good character developments. I hope it doesn't get canceled right away.

I do hope we get more information on what Kyle really is. What did the guy with the hat mean when he said to his mom that her resistance was useless because they "still got him"? I wasn't sure what that smoke was doing to him besides choking him. Did it kill him? Did it possessed him?

Glad with what happened to Donnie too but the consequences to Mark will be bad.

 

[chamber-music]

I really like the mythology kirkman is building.

 

[X-Ray]

Hopefully the chief can pull some strings to make that dash cam video disappear.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Watched the first 2 episodes, loving it so far, really good with some really creepy moments.

Spoiler

So pretty much everyone the reverend exorcised are still possessed and have been faking it since. That's a shot to his pride. Hard to get a read on Kyle's ex-wife or the kid. Both seem possessed at times.

 

[Shawn Wayne]

Good show. Def interested to see where it's going

Fitting, given he is a priest and that would be sinful.

 

[Shawn Wayne]

Feel like i missed an episode somewhere. How many are we up to so far?

 

[Teelie]

Fifth episode.
