The show's dominant themes, centered on a cynical and irreverent critique of organized religion, traditional authority, and institutional hypocrisy, align with a left-leaning cultural and philosophical stance, despite its focus on individual agency.
The series demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit racial recasting of a traditionally white main character. Furthermore, the narrative frequently portrays traditional identities, particularly white male figures, in a critical or negative light, subverting conventional heroic or revered archetypes.
The show features a prominent gay character, Jesus de Sade, whose sexuality is an acknowledged part of his identity. While the show's irreverent tone applies to all characters, his queer identity is neither a central theme for upliftment nor a specific target for degradation, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal.
The show features Tulip O'Hare, a skilled and violent character, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents using brawling and tactical skills.
Tulip O'Hare, a character depicted as white in the original Preacher comic series, is portrayed by Ruth Negga, an actress of Black and Irish descent, in the television adaptation. This constitutes a race swap.
The show adapts the comic book series, maintaining the established genders for all major and supporting characters from the source material. New characters introduced in the series do not count as gender swaps per the definition.
