    There’s a real sense, after the first four hours, that everything is coming together to reveal just what Shadow’s destiny is and a feeling that the story strands are all heading in the same direction. While season two felt like a chore, early indications are that season three will be well worth the ride.

    The show initially had simply too much of everything: too much sex, too much violence, to many weird flashbacks to the gods’s glory years across human history. Series three is where the fever belatedly breaks and everyone involved takes deep breath. Oh miracle of miracles, American Gods may finally be watchable.

    Laura (Emily Browning) is still one of the best parts of the series, but she’s missing too much from the screen. There’s little focus and disparate storylines, and American Gods doesn’t seem interested in the deeper questions it once asked.

    Boring and very, very, very, very slowly. First season is very good, but second and third awful. 5% from book 95% fillers ((
