Game of Thrones or Preacher? A Quiz to Help you Choose Which to Watch on Sunday Night
On May 22, the first episode of AMC’s Preacher premiered, based on the comic book of the same title by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. A lot of praise around the series launch, and as a fan of the comic, I can vouch that the adaptation definitely lived up to the original material.
Which leaves us with just one problem. While we were all obsessing over the excellent casting choices and stressing over whether the it would be any good, AMC slipped the show into teh worst possible time slot: Sunday at 9pm ET—a time slot already claimed by HBO’s Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones only has a few more episodes left this season, but in the meantime, it’s a serious debacle. As fans of the show know, winter is coming, dammit, and the Internet is dark and full of spoilers after every single episode. Missing a show is just not an option.
On the other hand, Preacher is off to an outstanding start, and I want to do my part to lend the show support and keep it going. And I’d hate to be spoiled on a big moment on this show, too.
But, hey, we’re in this together. So here is a short quiz to help you decide which show to watch next Sunday.
