Oh how the might has fallen. American God really fell into the Old God category, hopefully another show will come along one day and deliver everything that American Gods failed to. The idea of this show was perfect and the first season was executed beautifully. It's just everything that came afterwards just got progressively worse and worse.
If you're looking for a show full of action, gore and mythology then I'd 100% recommend you give this show a go, I'd just warn you not to expect too much from it. The casting is great it's just the writing and directing tries far too hard to be stylish that they end up taking out all substance from every other corner - which is a shame because this show seriously had potential.
I'm hoping that one day Netflix or something will pick this show up and reinvent it and help it find a brand new identity because this show seriously has potential to be a great, they just need to figure out what they're trying to be.
