I agree with a number of other reviewers that Season 1 was stellar. It had some jaw dropping moments & made for a very interesting TV experience. Season 2 started losing its way & then Season 3 got lost in space. My recommendation is to watch the first season & then call it a day. Overall, I think that the book deserves a better vehicle & hopefully, in time, someone will reboot the series.

Season 1 is awesome but don't waste your time with season 2

I would still recommend season one, but they did a horrible job in season 2. It is not the same show anymore.
First season was dark, gore and intriguing. Season 2 has a different director, and derailed with a dull story line and lousy attempts of mimicking the aesthetics of season 1. For example, they tried to add lots of "gags" for the leprechaun character dealing with his lack of luck, as if they were targeted to an audience of 12 years old watching "home alone". This is an adult show. When you compare it to the first scene of first season with pirates puncturing their own eyes, you clearly see season 2 completely lost their target audience.
I stopped watching season 2 on episode 5, and canceled my starz subscription. I may try continue watching it in the future, if and only if there is a different set of directors and story adapters (ideally the same team of season 1, but would give it a try regardless). Otherwise it will be a dead show for me.

It takes god-like stamina to keep watching this

It seems that each episode is trying to out awe the last leaving the viewer just wondering where it is all going at such a pace. No surprise then that it all lost its steam later on. Yes, we get it with the mystery and suspense but that needs kindling and careful character development. Instead it looks like production team were split on how best to achieve this - did they all read the book?
Reading the book now - and the TV show does not disappoint, superb!

Well, I picked up the book a few weeks back, before the show premiered. I'm a little ahead but I tell you, the show does a great job adapting this wonderful fantasy by Mr. Gaiman, verbatim at least for the pilot. The pace is great and the contemporary take on mythical figures is perfect.
Great for people who enjoy mythology - if you know a bit about it beforehand it's going to improve the ride but not essential. Great if you enjoy fantasy. Amazing show. Watch it, it's worth it.
Only downside is - I think it should air on Wednesdays, not Sundays!

Extremely well done adaptation with stunning visuals and awesome actors!
noxiousliving5 May 2017
With books it is almost always the same, you have either a too literal adaptation, that simply does not work in the movie medium or you have a version that is so very butchered, that it hardly resembles the original at all. With this, you have the rare exception.
Even though the visuals are sometimes very gruesome, it perfectly fits the tone and story of the book and gave me almost the exact feeling that I had, when I read it. The actors are chosen well and especially the two main actors so far, Ricky Whittle and Ian McShane are doing insanely good jobs.
It might be confusing at first, but that is just the journey we are taking part in, when we follow Shadow Moon's story. It is confusing to him, so it is to us, he does not know what is going on, so neither do we. This is something several very negative reviewers of this should have realized: Even if you don't get what exactly is going on in the first episode of a show, it does not mean the show has to be bad. It is called suspense. The plot should not need to be spoon fed! Let the show carry you with it and learn what it is about the same way Shadow does and risk being surprised! Oh and on a special note, even though I do not know whether the review was done by a troll or not: No, the show is not another "typical TV show about vikings, knights and a lot of killing". If you think that, you failed basic comprehension.

An irreverent trip to the heart of Mythology in America.

Casting: As things stand, this is some of the best casting in a book-to-TV adaptation I have seen in recent memory. Each character is given their moment to shine and the cast brings it to a new level. Truly a relief considering this is one of Gaiman's most compelling works.
Music: Spot on! Very fitting for the emotion and gravity felt in each scene.
Story: Stays very close to the original book narrative, but gives some of the most fascinating characters a little more screen time.
Tone: Surprisingly whimsical at times. It may seem jarring for folks unfamiliar with the original work on the storytelling style of the show runners. There's violence and sex in abundance, but beneath it all, there's an existential dread among the Old Gods.
Overall: 10/10
Could not recommend this show any more highly!

Season 1 was good. Season 2 was a mess.
PsychoBeard66626 August 2020
I just binged both seasons and if they don't make another season I'd be absolutely fine with that.
The cinematography is excellent and the performances are consistently brilliant.
The plot is weaker than a dead wife's fragile torso.
It tries to be sociopolitical instead of just telling a story.
It breaks off into so many unnecessary tangents that I found myself not caring what happened to most of the characters.
Just give me a Mad Sweeney and Dead Wife road story and bin everything else unless you plan to use Crispin Glover properly.

Visually Magnificent. Is it perfect? No, but it is pretty damn close.

I was a huge fan of the book so when it was announced that American Gods was coming to television, I could hardly wait. I wondered how they would incorporate and meld all the details into its intense and vast story, and bring it on to the small screen. For the most part they have done so brilliantly.
The story sometimes moves at a slower pace than in the book and those who are not familiar with the book may get antsy because they don't know the great stuff that's coming. They want it all now, but will eventually learn that it is only building its punch. The story is not a cookie cutter one -- if you need things explained to you, or if you re uncomfortable with things which are too "new fangledy" this may not be for you.
The negative I see in it, and whether one is for or against the series itself, there seems to be a general consensus across the board on this, is that it is indeed coercive with its political leanings and would seem to want to put them on a platform and give them center stage. I don't appreciate that. The gratuitous sex is at times too much as well. Who'd have ever thought I'd be saying that, but one thing is book sex, another in your face gratuitous and lengthy, sex which adds nothing to the series. We get it. She's the god of love, but at this point the way she is portrayed, she could be the god of fking - nothing more. I hope the producers realize as much and tone it down.

Weird, but in a good way
tweekzter5 June 2017
First off, the series is rather unconventional. You do not wanna expect typical mystery / scifi stuff, or you'll be disappointed, as so many are.
The strength of Americans Gods is really strong acting, very interesting characters that get you hooked onto, and a carefully, intelligently developed story that unfolds around all of that.
Like I said in the beginning, this series does not want to be action centered, it deals with mythical/philosophical questions and puts it into context to the real world. Yet this might seem weird to a few people, it is not exceeding the boundaries to become pure art-fiction. Though there are lots of artistic pictures and metaphors, it is always rooted to reality. At least if you have a bit of a sense for fantasy or a passion for philosophical questions.

Liked season 1, gave up in season 2
cherold7 May 2019
A lot of people raved about the first season of American Gods, but my response was more measured. I watched at first just because it's ponderous, mysterious style was unusual for TV. But I wasn't really engaged until a few episodes in when Emily Browning's Laura Moon burst in like a storm. She kept me going through the less entrancing parts of the show, which could be unpleasant and some tedious, *endless* sex scenes.
Since I wasn't a huge fan of season 1, it took me a while to realize I wasn't enjoying season 2. It seemed like pretty much the same thing, only I found myself less interested and more restless. Even Laura Moon seemed less fun. I found it harder to follow the story, and there were none of those really striking moments that peppered season 1.
I gave up at episode 4, which is basically groups of people having long, philosophical conversations interspersed with short scenes that carried the plot and that I couldn't make head or tail out of.
When I came here to write a review, I discovered my disenchantment with season 2 was not an isolated reaction. In fact, a lot of the people who adored season 1 hated season 2. My reaction to both seasons is more muted, but generally 1 is interesting and 2 isn't.
This is almost certainly because for some reason Bryan Fuller was replaced as showrunner. I like some Fuller shows better than others (my favorite is Pushing Daisies), but he is someone with a distinct vision, and I'm not convinced his replacement has one of those.
Check out season 1. Just be prepared to not have a worthwhile season 2 you can progress to.

season two is a DRAGGGG!!
andriygoncharenko1 April 2019
The first season was amazing, but this new season has lost its vibe, the coming to America intros are gone, the story seems to be stretched out, I'm guessing they want to run a few more seasons until the end of the story. I believe the reason they fired the old directors is the wanted to finish the story in season two with amazing story lines and visuals. a lot of people are not happy with this, waiting for two years for a dragged on story line with nothing of interest. the ratings will drop and it will get canceled before it can even finish its story. what a shame. the first season was promising.
No comparison to season 1

How I love me some leprechaun!
Fine. To be fair, I pretty much love all the characters in this beguiling, quirky, sadistic, verging-on-soft-porn, gift of a show. How very much I will miss them all until Season 2.
Thank you, Bryan Fuller for bringing us, among other notables, the wonderful Ian McShane, Ricky Whittle, Gillian Anderson, Crispin Glover, Emily Browning, Kristin Chenoweth, Orlando Jones, Bruce Langley, Yetide Badaki, Omid Abtahi, Peter Stormare, Cloris Leachman and my personal favorite, Pablo Schreiber.
Thank you for the well thought out script and bringing it to the 'small' screen in such a stylistic, no holds barred fashion. Thank you Neil Gaiman for the novel.
I could do with a little less sex (on screen) and a lot less politics, but I'll take it as long as you sandwich it as condiment on a meaty main dish.
See you next season. Please hurry.

Terrific
KittensAreJerks18 June 2017
The shots and visuals are beautiful. The one thing that is sad to see is how old Ian McShane is now. He looks ancient. That doesn't take away from his masterful delivery, ever. He is an amazing actor and could sell Eskimos ice water. Emily Browning is a tiny little firecracker and does a great job. Mad Sweeney is probably my favorite character hands downs. What's funny is that sometimes he looks good and others not so much. It is almost like that episode of Seinfeld with the girl who looked good and bad at turns and you never knew who was going to show up. Everyone else is great. The series moves somewhat slower than I think most would like, but they are going for quality over speed. Some people just can't sit down long enough anymore to enjoy a great meal, much less a great series. Shame, because they're missing out.
Hello? Is There Any God Out There?
MaryDrapedInLace18 June 2017
Just shout if you can hear me. Is there any god at all? Shhhhh, don't cry. It's just a little pinprick. There'll be no more, ah, but you may feel a little sick.
As has been mentioned on this page numerous times, and in other reviews and news stories across the net, audiences should go into American GODS knowing that it isn't fare for the easily appeased and those wanting to be fed every little tidbit ala Transformers. One reviewer asks: "Why is Shadow Moon surrounded by all this as soon a he gets out of jail? Why is he so special?" That made me snicker a little, but not in a wholly good way. It's scary to see how some have become so complacent that their minds seem not to function at full capacity. Not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but here goes: THAT precisely is one of the things we are waiting to see. What makes him so special. Was that so difficult to grasp? Shhhhh. Remember, don't cry. It's just a little pinprick. Can you show me where it hurts?
American Gods is a clever, no-holds-barred series that is a little slow in establishing its characters and then in character development. It believes that making the JOURNEY fun is what counts more than getting to the destination. It is heavy-handed with political allegories and with sex, sex, sex. Some of each of the episodes is spent on setting up what comes next, and some explaining the background of each character so that you may get to k̶n̶o̶w̶, no, so that you may get to feel them. Sometimes this is done so smoothly, that the exposition isn't always slap-you-in-the-face obvious, and so people may miss it. Unlike some reviewers, I never find this boring. In fact, I look forward to each new episode with bated breath. So, please do not be like the bloke who gave this series a 1 and wrote: "Read the book ... close your eyes and let him carry you on a journey through a world where humans do not walk." Can one really read a book with your eyes closed? I'd venture to say some here actually believe so.
God, it's good.

A promising start to the wonderful world of American Gods

I read the book about a year ago and needless to say i liked it. Hearing of this TV show really excited me but at the same time i had that apprehension of it falling short of expectations or deviating from the book. I must say the first episode dispelled all such apprehensions. The TV show remains fairly faithful to the book (as per my memory at least) and Ian McShane as Mr. Wednesday is near perfect. The visual effects are good and the episode was engrossing. I am really stoked about this one. Thinking of all the scenes that are coming.
The only thing that i can complain about is that at times the choice for the musical score seemed off with the actual events of the scene. This is a minor issue though and very subjective. All in all, this is a must watch for both, people who have or haven't read the book. :)

Victim of their own success

Season 1 is a perfect example of how fantastic cinema can be, given appropriate creative freedom and time to manifest. It culminated in a way that I absolutely loved, there was no aspect that I couldn't praise. The acting, writing, cinematography.. all as close to perfect as you can objectively get.
Fast forward to season 3... The main character is teamed up with the sheriff of a small town, trying to track down someone who's breaking into houses and stealing underwear.
The secondary main character is teamed up with a gay cab driver who's questioning his Islamic values.
The antagonist is trying to win back his ex wife.
If I were to start watching this show at season 3, I wouldn't have made it past the second episode. I wouldn't have left this review.
It was originally Meta, as good as something can get. Now it's a lower rung drama with little for plot and miserably failing pretentious subtext.

Mary_Juana18 June 2017
I love the actors and setting and the entire premise of the gods. And Gillian Anderson - WOW. She is gorgeous and amazing as the two famous characters she has played so far. Captures the essence so well! Well, they all do! Love it, love it, love it! If you haven't caught it yet, you should. And you may want to sort by Love It since there is a little troll who must absolutely hate this show because he thumbs downs every positive new comment 22 times within minutes. Lol! How fun a life! :) ENJOY this show. It is wonderful and I can't say enough god (ooops, Freudian slip, but it stays) things about it.
Great first season, awful by season 3. Can't recommend.
Ajaquai24 May 2023
Shame I can't recommend this series to anyone anymore. The first season was amazing. Interesting plot lines put together with care. Great acting. Fantastic use of mini plots scattered through the show (particularly in the openings) to give information about the world this is set in and to provide contrast where needed to the way characters were responding. In some ways I actually think the show was better than the books, something I almost never say! Might be a bit confusing at times for those not up with their mythology but it may also keep the mystery more too that way too as they drop hints from episode 1 if you know what to look for. This is a show you need to watch, rather than half pay attention to. (I'd give it a 9/10).
Season two started showing cracks. Sounds like some drama happened behind the scenes and they lost characters that hurt the show. Still, they seemed to be trying to pick up the pieces and it looked like it was going to find its way through. (Maybe a 5/10)
Then season three happened. It's mostly awful. The storyline is all over the place and sometimes it seems like they just decide to substitute interesting story for long drawn out scenes of "adult" activities for.... reasons? Most of the characters become boring to watch and the show had completely lost its way. Such a sad end for a show that had so much promise initially. I'm not surprised it was not renewed for another season. (Score 1/10.) Watch the first season, skip the rest if you can handle leaving a series unfinished.

I am so sad we're almost at the season finale. This program has been a a wonderful watch and something to look forward to during the week amidst some other good programs currently on and amidst some not so great ones.
The premise is wonderful. The series itself is funny, sexy, weird, almost bizarre sometimes, in a good way.

If there was a god of disappointment........
analogue100129 April 2019
I am not sure what has gone wrong with season 2, but it is like someone has taken all the deleted scenes from season 1 and created a new season from them. That is the quality of season 2, the majority of scenes are dull, lifeless, and certainly don't contain any of that god like "magic" that season 1 certainly had.
There are still a few good parts, but the majority of season 2 was a chore to watch and I could not wait for it to be over. It is a real shame because season 1 was like nothing I had ever seen before. Season 2 seems to have the money, locations, actors, some elements of a story, but it just doesn't work.
I do hope we get a season 3, and that the makers of the show manage to capture some of that "magic" which made season 1 so great. Otherwise the god of disappointment is sure to have many more believers........

matangvinzoe27 May 2017
Holy F**k! No matter how many of these episodes I watch, I don't get any less riveted. It feels like a disease that I am slowly trying to manage. The plot develops like a sick wound and I'm constantly checking to see how it's doing. I feel like I have finally found something again that has finally touched me deep inside. If only the future episodes and series' can be this good, surely it can withstand the test of time...
P.S. I NEVER give 10's... This is a solid 10 so far.

Xophianic18 June 2017
A great series but as another reviewer said, it is not meant for slow people or people who want their car crashes and chases tube fed to them. You actually have to use your brain for this one (sorry). As yet another reviewer wanted to put it, but I'm not quite sure if they were just pulling our leg with the spelling, this is mostly for the intellectually savvy. It also helps if you like art.
Like in all my reviews however, I urge you to watch it for yourself if you haven't yet. These days you have people living in less than optimum situations who don't get out much so they create accounts in order to be somehow relevant and try to sway public opinion. In the end though, only you know what you like and don't like and no one who isn't old enough to shave or have known the feel of a woman's caress can really sway your opinion no matter how much they try. Right?
One last thing. I was going to give it a 10, but I agree that it is overhanded with its political agenda, so I decided on an 8. Seeing the number of fake negative down ratings on the positive reviews and imagining there are at least a few negative fake reviews to back those up, brought it back up to a 10.
