American Gods tv show out yet?

Anyone see it yet?

Yes it is. Need to get caught up, but it is pretty good.

It's very good. At least on par with house of cards or stranger things. Not quite westworld/AGoT.

Have been eating it up. It's been out for a while now here (UK). Ep 6 just popped in today.

Loved the book and they seem to be doing a good job of moving it over to the small screen. Get the feeling it might not be to everyone's taste, though (my wife doesn't get it at all). It's a bit "out there" to say the least.

I have been watching it. I like the TV Shadow more than the book Shadow.

They are rambling a bit, the good parts are very good but there are some tangents that have been added that are good and some are slowing the show down.

Gillian Anderson is fantastic in her role...

Excellent! I can't wait to watch it.

This is what I'm worried about. She hasn't read it at all.

The cinematography is very much in line with Fuller. Very reminiscent of Hannibal.

Not seen either of those.

Sorry, Bryan Fuller is the showrunner.

Ohhhh Fuller is the show runner, I immediately noticed his style and thought someone was just riffing on Hannibal.

I love American Gods so far, i've never read the book so i'm avoiding spoilers. Anansi and Anubis are my favorites so far. I just took a hieroglyphics course and their portrayal of Anubis has been on point to what I learnt, double points for casting someone who looks more like the early Egyptians would have looked like.

Now I don't know because I haven't spoiled myself but my theory from just watching the first five episodes is that Odin is Shadow's father.

Got halfway through episode one... the disappearing man freaked us out and there wasn't enough story by that point to stop us switching it off!
