Preacher Season 3, Episode 5 'The Coffin' Review: The 'Preacher' We've Been Waiting For

There is a ton to unpack in AMC Preacher s03e05 'The Coffin', so get out your scorecard cause here we go with our review!

● Jesse (Dominic Cooper), Tulip (Ruth Negga), Jody (Jeremy Childs), and TC (Colin Cunningham) got into a little "Werewolves of London"-sound-tracked brawl that left Tulip chained up and Jesse locked in a coffin at the bottom of a pond.

● Herr Starr (Pip Torrens) has his own issues, with Humperdoo (Tyson Ritter) not exactly in "messiah-shape" but The Allfather (Jonny Coyne) impressed enough by his literal song-n-dance to accelerate the rollout; which means they need Jesse back on the team now.

● Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) goes on a blind date…and ends up with a group of real Interview with a Vampire-type vampires.

● Tulip decides to take matters – and Gran'ma L'Angell's (Betty Buckley) neck – into her own hands, only to realize that neither Gran'ma nor Madame Boyd (Prema Cruz) can be trusted. If Gran'ma dies, then Tulip dies – and even though Jesse was able to save Gran'ma's life, she's gonna' need a soul. But Jesse's got a plan…

If that feels like a lot, then know that I haven't even scratched the surface – and that's why 'The Coffin' was the kind of Preacher that I'd been waiting for…even if there was one tiny issue:

Note: I'll be covering some themes and takeaways involving major and minor plot points from the episode, so keep that in mind. Definitely not looking for pitchforks and torches outside my apartment so spoiler warnings!

And here's a look back at the episode:

PREACHER is a dramatic thrill ride that follows West Texas preacher Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), his badass girlfriend Tulip (Academy Award nominee Ruth Negga) and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) as they embark on a road trip to find God and are thrust into a twisted battle spanning Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between.

The 10-episode third season follows Jesse's quest for God which takes him back to the place he's been avoiding his whole life: home.
