I'm not sure when everyone gets to see this but as the first screening of the new American Gods series has occured I wanted to take time to comment.
It is visually stunning, with copious gushing of blood and sex and its cinematic style works well to promote the eldritch feel which I assume is intended in a show where a man becomes caught up in the machinations of trickster gods and their inscrutable schemes. Transitions are used sparingly and reality and dream overlap.
That does have the potential to be jarring but so far it hasn't had the alienating weirdness of Legion to upset viewers, but it is only one episode
McSHane gives an outstanding performance as does the women playing Audrey (?).
Anyway I liked it and will keep watching
No Spoilers from me, but feel free
