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.

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