American Gods

[3db]

I started watching this series yesterday having binged watched the first 4 episodes of Season 1. If the first 4 episodes are any indication, this is going to be one heck of a series. Highly recommend it.

You're a bit late to the party, but yes. Season 2 is quite different after two original showrunners left. ADTG seems to like it even more

Has anyone read the book? That might be my next read after I finish "Good Omens" (also soon to be a streaming series).

Well, like you said, it’s still too early.

I definitely hate that Gillian Anderson left the show because she is one of my fav. They could have gotten someone more iconic or established to replace her, instead of someone most people have never seen or heard of. Significant loss IMO.

So my opinion of AG S02 (after seeing the new Media) just took a little dive. I wouldn’t say that S02 is better than S01 so far.

But eveything else is still good.

Ian McShane was awesome in Deadwood!

Yeah, New Media is terrible. I was promised an anime character and instead of cute young Japanese girl or even something near with heavy makeup/CG, instead, we get a middle-aged ugly Korean chick, Just downright nasty and not in a good way.

I have to agree. She’s not much to look at or listen to. Disappointed.

I guess the good thing about Media is that she can change her image. So maybe we’ll get someone awesome. A guy can hope.

It seems instead of increasing the budget from first season, they might have actually decreased the budget?

But the show is still better than most shows.

I really like the interaction between Dead Wife and Leprochon

Yeah, I could watch those two all day. Lmao.

FWIW leprechaun is Liev Schreibers half brother. Both are great.

I'm completed E4 of season2....Dam I luv this show.

 

[panteragstk]

It is a good show. Story seems random at times with no clear direction, but I think season 2 fixed that quite a bit.

New media sucks though.

Yes, I have read the book. It is excellent, and does give a bit better understanding. Most Geiman books are unusual, to say the least.

Hmm! If I order it now, it should be here before we leave for vacation.

Awwww, books are more biodegradable than a lump of silicon and plastic ever will be... and I send old books to Goodwill / DAV to be enjoyed by others. I mean well, anyway.

Talk about a major DOWNGRADE. My goodness.

yes, but you need only to buy this lump of silicon and plastic once. Besides, it's much lighter than most books and you could carry your entire library in the carry-on.
