If you enjoy dark series with black humor, Preacher is just right for you. Custer’s commands often lead to absurd situations, and the series does not shy away from satirizing and critically questioning religious themes. Moreover, the show includes explicit violence and sexuality, making it a bit harder than Supernatural.
Fun Fact: The series Preacher is based on the comic series of the same name from Vertigo, created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon.

Similar to Supernatural, the main characters, their relationships, and dynamics are in the foreground – which appeals to many fans.
For instance, there are numerous conflicts between the siblings Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah Mikaelson, who repeatedly clash due to their different character traits and values.
Klaus, for example, is impulsive and hot-tempered, not shying away from violence to achieve his goals, while Elijah is the moral anchor of the family and maintains a respectful attitude even toward his enemies.
Fun Fact: Klaus, the main character of The Originals, was introduced as an antagonist in The Vampire Diaries. He was originally meant to die but, due to the popularity of his character among fans, the decision was made to give Klaus his own spin-off series (via IMDb).
