American Gods Series Review#14

Review by @filotasriza3 · 3287d · of American Gods

Hello Hello how are you guys? 


Nowadays as you know i made close to 1-2 posts per week, i know you want more in fact I AM SURE OF IT and i will try to at least make 2-3 posts per week for start ;) 


Enough with this it's show time!


General Information

American gods is a show by Starz network that came out pretty dynamically I must say. We all know that series have gone pretty high in every aspect and have earned people’s trust, so it’s only natural for some big names to appear. American Gods features stars like Ian McShane(just google the name), Crispin Clover and Emily Browning and in case you don’t remember who she is, it’s the kid from''A Series of Unfortunate Events'', Violet

Emily Browning at A series of unfortunate events


And now

 ohh how time passed by! 

 For now there are 8 episodes of 60 minutes each in season 1 with the season 2 to have the green light!!

STORY

The story follows Shadow Moon yes that’s his name,  that was convicted for trying to robber a casino with his girlfriend(Emily Browning) but he chose to take the blame for himself and is now released from prison. He learned that his girlfriend is dead and he tried to get back for her funeral. On his way home he meets a strange and mysterious man who calls himself Wednesday (played by Ian Mcshane). Wednesday seems to know a lot about Shadow Moon and he even offers him to work with him.   

That’s pretty much the intro story but I am gonna  go a step further and tell you a bit more with minimum spoilers so if you don’t like spoilers at all skip this part 

After some strange things happen Shadow Moon agrees to work with him and he soon come face to face with extremely weird things happening around him. In fact we along with Shadow discover that Gods exist but not in the way we all know.  

Gods exists because of us. 

That could be the starting talk of some Atheists but today that’s not the case. What it means in the show's logic is that with more and more people believing in or having faith into something this start to exist. For example, in the show there are many different Jesus all with some characteristics close to the majority of people believing in them, think of it like there is a Mexican Jesus and different one that is Mongolian Jesus. Aside from all this there are the ‘’old gods’’ that are gods who existed in ancient times and many of them have been forgotten nowadays, those gods are like practical hobos. On the other hand we got the ‘’new gods’’ that control technology and their powers are similar to this.

   I don’t want to get any further into details or else I might end up writing everything about the show and nobody wants that.

OVERALL 

It is pretty interesting and different show even the images and the graphics are kind of unique but overall I can’t say I am a huge fan of it. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy it but I think it’s too much at least for the 8 episodes that released. I don’t want to get into details because I will probably lead you into disliking it too. Another thing I would like to add is that there is great character development. Mostly every character has his time to shine and even his one backstory something that you don’t see it in most of the series out there. The outcome out of this is that we get closer to some characters and in general closer to the show.

    I've never heard of he show before but although you are not blown away by the show yourself it seems like it is something that I'd like to watch when I'm bored
