tezzcollin Really love the characters as well! They really do an amazing job, and the script is well written!

tpadvertising Boring. Slow. Nonsensical. This show has zero plot, provides zero empathy with the characters and throws in cut away scenes that go on for far far too long, diverting you from the 'main' storyline which at best, trundles along. Let's look at the characters: Shadow - who is constantly questioning his purpose in this story, so are we mate. Mr Wednesday - McShane is great, but I get the feeling this is a payday not a passion project. Too good for this.The leprechaun - Is a lesson in bad writing (like the rest of the show tbf)The Russian nutcase - He really likes killing cows and or people. I don't get it.Any of the cutaway God character/stories (the ones that go on way too long and don't engage you as a viewer in the slightest) - Just boring and insanely obscure, with no context given and a real challenge to watch without contemplating the poor life choices you made that brought you to that moment.In a nutshell American Gods is the long form version of Only God Forgives - visually beautiful, but with a story so poor it makes you check your watch constantly to see how much longer you need to endure this car crash.

youngedwin-87441 Love the show, it's simply on another level,i mean who could ever think about a war between old and new gods??? The characters really do know how to bring out their roles and one is able to relate with them.Simply amazing and totally worth your time.

cinemajesty Television Review: "American Gods" (2017)Here comes a newly-received television show based on Neil Gaiman's novel from 2001, which is continuously a joy-watch worthwhile from the very first episode directed by David Slade, known for features as "Hard Candy" (2005) starring Ellen Page & Patrick Wilson and the contemporary Vampire-Horror-Movie "30 Days of Night" (2007) starring Josh Hartnett & Danny Huston, when the character of Shadow just out Prison, portrayed by thrown-into-play actor Ray Whittle, meets the ancient-gods confronting Mr. Wednesday, performed by always-leisure-sharing actor Ian McShane.The two character travel together as side-kicking buddy couple through Shadow's subconscious in surreal color-forcing digital cinematographer by Jo Willems, know for collaborating with director Francis Lawrence in "The Hunger Games" movie series starring Jennifer Lawrence, letting the main character Shadow confronting his future, present and past in connection with his former death-seeking girlfriend Laura Moon, portrayed by match-making actress Emily Browning. Further supporting cast appearances include actor Crispin Glover as Mr. World, whose legendary characters in motion pictures as in David Lynch's "Wild At Heart", the Palme D'or winning ultimate surreal thriller from the year 1990.Some episode of "American Gods" may vary in suspense-drive, especially towards season 1 conclusions. Nevertheless this original television show, created by tv-format-approved writer/producer Bryan Fuller, and the first look distribution deal from Amazon Studios prime service makes the television filmmaking a piece of art, open for further exploration in an infinite imaginarium.FAZIT: Show recommended (thrilling) © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
