While most diehard Preacher fans are waiting for move pictures and videos a select few (about 1200) had the opportunity to watch the Preacher pilot today (March 14th, 2016) at SXSW. In the coming weeks the pilot will be shown at a few other conventions and shows but the 1200 at SXSW will be the ones to say they truly saw it first. The overall sentiment is very positive. We have compiled a list of reactions from Twitter.
Loved the #preacher premiere at #sxsw. Cassidy and so many of the actors were fantastic. I any more!

Not unexpectedly, Preacher getting rave reviews at #SXSW, also from folks who attended #TCA. Not a full adaptation of Ennis, but likely BIG.

If there is a god, PREACHER should be huge. #SXSW

Word from #SXSW is that PREACHER deviates heavily from the comics. Now Jesse & Cassidy bond b/c they both think Bill Hicks is problematic.

PREACHER pilot: promising start captures spirit & tone of comic but strays a lot from source. Some great action sequences & comedy #SXSW

Enjoyed #PREACHER just fine. Total unawareness of the original property prolly helped. Doubt I’ll watch it live on tv. #SXSW

My take on PREACHER premiere at #SXSW: I went in thinking it would be the Book of Eli meets Dogma and came out thinking Tarantino watch out.

“Wow, we’re in a room with the most f*cked up people ever.” –@Sethrogen on the #SXSW audience, who appreciated the madness of #Preacher.

PREACHER is one of the most promising pilots in recent memory, blending humor, gore & philosophy. #SXSW
