A war is coming on ‘American Gods’ Season 1
I have been lucky to watch a lot of different shows lately. It has been a while since I have one like American Gods though. It takes people on a journey that is hard to explain. I was able to get a review copy of season one and this is what I thought of it.
You can read the premise for American Gods season 1 here:
When Shadow Moon is released from prison, he meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday and a storm begins to brew. Little does Shadow know, this storm will change the course of his entire life. Left adrift by the recent, tragic death of his wife, and suddenly hired as Mr. Wednesday’s bodyguard, Shadow finds himself in the center of a world that he struggles to understand. It’s a hidden world where magic is real, where the Old Gods fear both irrelevance and the growing power of the New Gods, like Technology and Media. Mr. Wednesday seeks to build a coalition of Old Gods to defend their existence in this new America, and reclaim some of the influence that they’ve lost. As Shadow travels across the country with Mr. Wednesday, he struggles to accept this new reality, and his place in it.
I wasn’t that into American Gods at first. This season started off in an odd way, and it wasn’t easy for me to understand what was going on. As the season moved forward though, things began to make sense. There are many tales of old gods and it was cool to get to learn about them. This season does have a pretty amazing cast, and I liked how it ended. This will definitely not be a show for everyone, but some people will really like it.
