    I find the new season rather boring. The show would have been better off as a mini-series with clear beginning, middle and the end. I liked the book, as the story was entertaining, but this show is just limping on. The worst thing is that I do not care any of the characters and some I find out right annoying. This was not the issue in the book. I give it 6/10 because it does have goodI find the new season rather boring.

    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.

    Well this show fell off a cliff pretty quickly.
    After an interesting 1st season where all the groundwork is laid, this should of been where it kicked up a gear. Instead it is a convoluted, boring mess.
    Really disappointing.

    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.

    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.

    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.
