US: American Gods - Starts May 1st Amazon / Starz (Wheres the post?)

Seemed fairly obvious to me with the intermittent reveals of the old gods reaching the US shores, etc. some of it took a bit of figuring out sure and I didn't immediately comprehend the new gods aspect fully until about episode 5.

Granted I'm somewhat familiar with the spiritual aspects underpinning it from other stories/philosophy which made making sense of it a bit easier.

Jesus Christ! That fella doesn't have much luck does he?

Enjoying this even if it is a little perplexing. Love the intro visuals and music. Best one other than Got but that's tired now.

Helps a lot that the dialogue is sharp - keeps it moving along where it would otherwise fall flat on its face.

Wow how did I not make that connection lol - then again I totally missed that it was Gillian Anderson in the media stuff as well.

I didn't realize it was GA to start with.

Have to admit I found Dead Wife the Leprechaun and Salim? in the taxi bit quite amusing - reasonably snappily written.

They are pretty funny together, Prefer watching them over Mr Wednesday and Shadow tbh, will be interesting to see where the show goes.

Was wasting time in Newcastle earlier, waiting for a friend who is never on ******* time, and popped into The Works. Noticed they had the book for £3. Guess I'll wait until after the TV show has finished before I start on reading it though.

Wow I'm really slipping on this show - should have made that connection as well :s

Decent episode and back story for those two characters. I think they're better together than Shadow and Mr Wednesday.

darkgen · 13 Jun 2017 at 10:21

Very good episode and agree with above poster; they play well of each other. Only one more episode to go!

Good Lord! I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years. He's such a great character in AG.

Really?

Feels like theres a hell of a lot more to show. Unless it's all saved for future seasons.

I've just started the book, unusual for the show to add so much extra (so far as i've read), usually tv/film adaptations cut a lot out.
