Prime Suspect: Tennison; PBS. 9 pm CST (check local listings). Series Premiere.

Preacher; AMC. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Last season showed us how crazy this show can be-- and this year gives us The Saint of Killers and Herr Starr to add to the mix.
You know, I'd think there'd be no way half the stuff that happened to Starr in the comics could happen on the TV show, but I also think if any show is going to "go there", it'd be this one.
You know2: I'd almost settle if Starr only gets that scar that makes his head look like a penis.
