Shows that feel likePreacher (2016–2019)

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.

If you loved Preacher, the closest series we have are Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (2022), The Exorcist (2016) and Archive 81 (2022). All three share Preacher's twisty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is A Discovery of Witches (2018).
