The second season of the fantasy-energizing TV series, American Gods which pursues Shadow, the man whose destiny has placed him in the way for a strange individual named Wednesday. Wednesday starts to flip around Shadow's life by entering him through numerous perilous plots and difficulties. Furthermore, Shadow needs to obey him.
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.
I am hesitant to say that this season is better or worse than season one since it is also very different. If anything, American Gods is as good as it was but also in a different way.
The frenetic, kinetic punk/anarchic sci-fi fantasy aspects, accentuated during the industrial toxic neon intro credits, combined with digital flies and spiders, is odd, redolent and alluring.
I can't entirely despise a TV show where Peter Stormare plays a Slavic deathlord who gleefully mumbles, "I am cancer!" But consider yourself warned: Do not worship false Gods.
While the story picked up where it left off and didn't venture much into the larger world, the second season might just be able to continue the story in a way that matches the first season's wildly imaginative, artful style of storytelling.
After all the work done to keep the show going - and the very real risk it might not keep going - one would hope for more onscreen urgency. Instead, it just continues on, as if nothing changed and nothing will.
