Is anyone else watching American Gods? I've been looking forward to it since I first heard about it, and have just finished the first episode.
Spoiler free synopsis (from (you need an account to see links)): The series focuses on Shadow Moon, a man serving three years in prison. With only days remaining in his sentence, Shadow is given an unexpected early release after his beloved wife Laura is killed. Shadow finds himself next to a man named Wednesday, who offers Shadow a job. Wednesday appears to be nothing but a con artist who needs Shadow as a bodyguard, but is in fact the god Odin. Wednesday is making his way across America, gathering all the old gods, who have now incorporated themselves into American life, to confront the New Gods, including Media and Technology, who grow stronger.
Thoughts: I like it. It's visually appealing, and there's some lovely expression used in the dialogue. I've always been a mythology buff, so this sort of premise is interesting.

I'd been meaning to read the book for years and years and finally got around to it this month so I could do it before the show came out. Then I realized I don't have Starz and I'm not sure if I want to get a prime subscription or just wait until it's all out later.
you get one months free on STARZ, so try it out for free
You'd love the new Wonder Woman, its full of greek mythology and i loved it . I'll try watching this today, hopefully it's better then the new twin peaks.Originally Posted by Bacchus
