The premise
A preacher sets out on a mission to make the almighty himself confess his sin of abandoning the world. With his best friend Cassidy, an alcoholic Irish vampire, his love Tulip, a red blooded gun towing Texan, and the power of genesis, an unholy child born from an angel and a devil, Jesse gives up everything to set the world straight with its creator.
Horror Vault's take
A small-town Texas preacher finds himself host to an entity of staggering supernatural power and decides to use it for the most audacious purpose imaginable: hunting down God himself and demanding answers. Alongside a hard-drinking Irish vampire and a fierce, gun-toting ex-flame, Jesse Custer tears across America on a blasphemous, blood-soaked road trip unlike anything else on television. Based on the cult Vertigo comic series, the show revels in dark humor, shocking violence, and theological provocation in equal measure. It is wildly entertaining genre television that dares to ask what happens when the divine goes AWOL.
