so far so good.

I have heard the second season is utterly fucked due to the loss of cast members, breaking the momentum of season 1, and a new showrunner.
But I haven’t seen any of it yet.
Honestly, I liked the first season, but it was WAY more cartoony and over-the-top than I ever imagined an adaptation of that book would be.
I read “American Gods” like a mystery that slowly pulls reality apart to reveal a atarscape beneath. Never expected it would be so wild and ... bloody.
But it was OK. Not the best show to immediate deviate from the source material on.
Anyway, it’s one of my favorite books. So I’ll eventually hit season 2, but I’m not spending extra for it like I did the first time around.
