'Preacher' season 3 episode 4 review: From 'Gladiator' to 'Star Wars', pop culture references abound

For the most part of season 3, AMC's supernatural comedy has delivered a lukewarm version of the 'Preacher' despite Jesse steeping into the abyss of savagery that is Angelville.

The Jesse Custer withdrawal finally comes to a cease and how. 

For the most part of season 3, AMC's supernatural comedy has been delivering a lukewarm version of the 'Preacher.' While the titular hero has already stepped into the abyss of savagery - Angelville - Jesse has assumed this annoyingly stoic stance, where he is passively involved with the events of the episodes. Granted, he is under a spell cast by Madame L'Angelle aka his beloved Gran'ma (the wicked witch fittingly portrayed by Betty Buckley), but that doesn't mean our main star's arc needs to be put on the backburner, while everything around him literally falls apart or burns to ashes.
