Critic Reviews

The Telegraph Tristram Fane Saunders

Jan 3, 2020

Watch this show cynically, and the whole edifice might topple down. But go along with it and it’s one hell of a ride. Like the gods themselves, American Gods requires – and rewards – your unquestioning faith. Read full review

Kaitlin Thomas

Feb 27, 2019

For fans of the novel who had such high expectations at the outset and who've been waiting nearly two years for the next chapter in the story, it's rather upsetting. Read full review

IndieWire Ben Travers

Feb 25, 2019

Some performances stand out, like Pablo Schreiber’s tough-talking, soft-hearted leprechaun and Laura Browning’s impatient, slowly dying zombie — while others don’t quite elevate above the ordinary. Read full review

Collider Vinnie Mancuso

Without a concrete reason to care about Shadow, we’re essentially out of reasons to care about a show that once had so much wacked-out promise. Read full review

The Guardian Stuart Jeffries

Dec 3, 2019

American Gods is like a Marvel or DC franchise with theological pretensions. Like Avengers: Age of Ultron or Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement, it has a plot so baffling only weird life forms (11-year-old boys, swivel-eyed lawyers) could explain or care about. Read full review

Matt Zoller Seitz

Mar 8, 2019

The overall effect is that of an imperfect series with a powerful, instantly recognizable aesthetic and personality being remade so as to remove the aesthetic and personality while leaving most of the problem spots. Read full review

Steven Scaife

Mar 8, 2019

Without the visual panache of the first season to balance the occasionally thin material, it becomes hard to ignore that the characters are more words than people, vehicles for expository monologues that stand in for actual conflict. Read full review

Just watched episode one and damn, it was so good, not sure what the critics were watching, or did it just go over there heads and they did not understand it, great story telling and amazing characters.

American Gods took a long hiatus while they retooled it and they brought in the author of the book, Neil Gaiman, to do so. Only the first episode of Season 2 is out, and it was co-written by Neil Gaiman.

Only the first episode of Season 2 is out, and it was co-written by Neil Gaiman. The war between the old Gods (led by Odin) and the New gods (Media and Mr. World, with Facebook as his henchman) is shaping up nicely. Watching season 1 is highly advisable so you understand why a giant leprechaun, a zombie, and Odin are riding in a car with Shadow Moon.… Expand

It honestly sounds like critics are mad their darling isn't working on the show anymore.… Expand

The characters seem to have no direction and after episode 1 finished nothing much happens. It wasnt terrible but certainly not worth the time to watch.

This is a TV show I can absolutely watch while cooking 'cus I know I won't miss anything.

Nothing but exposition and themes that used to be subtle are now being spouted through the mouths of the characters. This season the vaping kid gets more screen time, 'cause who didn't want to see more of that annoying piece of **** Wednesday and Orlando Jones get even more Shakespearean in their expository/prophetic dialogue, and Shadow just makes the same face he has been making for the last two years. Don't you just love how show business destroys everything you love?… Expand

Season 1 was really good. Season 2? /what happened to this thing? Basically the plot barely advances and I mean at this rate they could do 5 seasons like this and the audience would hardly notice.

What have they done to my show? Loved the first season but this is a lazy and aimless pile of moronic drivel dressed up to be meaningful and 'edgy' - it's basically just padding because they've run out of material.

Loved the first season but this is a lazy and aimless pile of moronic drivel dressed up to be meaningful and 'edgy' - it's basically just padding because they've run out of material. My wife read the book and at around episode five she had no idea what the script writers were doing. There are long scenes where nothing of any consequence or even interest happen... it's like they just started making stuff up to fill in the time. I actually turned off when they had shirtless dancing cowboys performing a terrible cabaret act and Shadow Moon was shuffling around a shopping mall, for... you know, reasons? - Watch the first season, it really is a lot of fun and very stylish but skip this empty and lifeless filler-fest.… Expand
