How is this series not getting more publicity? It is visually beautiful. It has a story line that should pique the interests of a diverse demographic of fandom. It has star power from other popular series.

Two shows in and I am thoroughly enjoying this work. I hope others are as well, as I want the story to last, but I really am not seeing buzz.

All the reviews I've seen praise it as an amazing show so far.

It hurts that it's on STARZ.

It looked fake anyway. It would be funny if they did use a model but it looked almost diseased.

If you're retarded enough to watch Better Call Saul without having seen Breaking Bad why the fuck should it matter if you haven't read the book yet for this show?

I'm too busy trying to commit to memory everything anyone has ever posted here. This Brick apprenticeship is a lot more work than I bargained for.

I am shocked there hasn't been a call for the heads of the infidels after the most graphic gay sex scene I have seen on TV between two men speaking Arabic, one of whom was a genie.

ISIS must not get STARZ either.

I don't think you can look at this episode as anything but a repudiation of two of the three current major religions.

The dead woman was taught ancient Egyptian religions as a child and kept it in her heart while publicly professing Islam. It is by keeping it the ancient religion in her heart that she is welcomed into the afterlife.

There is the scene described in the previous post.

Finally, Mr. Wednesday doesn't attack Christianity on its face but rather references that there are many Jesuses. Each holds the characteristics of the people who worship.

Judaism is conspicuously untouched in the episode. I'm sure it was just an oversight.

WTF?? I couldn't sleep last night and I was watching the Sox game....and channel surfing. I saw American Gods on the guide...remembered seeing a thread about on here, so clicked on it to check it out....and saw two dudes fucking ? So with that being my first impression of the show.....CLICK !!! Enjoy your show Dolphin! WTF???

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

You have no appreciation for art.

It was graphic but I didn't find it gratuitous. The guy's knee length dong was intimidating.

If you thought that was too graphic for you, you certainly wouldn't have wanted to see the scene where Bill Murray's brother is having sex with the love goddess. She demands he worship her as they perform the act. The worshipping makes her grow to giant size and Murray is swallowed into her body through her vagina.

I have no appreciation for that shit...that's for sure. I had to double check the guide / channel I was on. I didn't watch long enough to appreciate any artistic value you say is there. Now had I checked in during the "swallowing vagina" scene.....I may be a big fan! Ha.

I've recorded it on DVR as something to check out later and with endorsements like knee length dong and dude swallowed by vagina well, a rainy day can't happen soon enough.

You can tell the cast members who have juice in the industry by their lack of nudity. Emily Browning showed a quick butt and everything else was shot at angles to avoid skin.

I assume Laura is ultimately a god but I cannot determine which she is. Her rising from the dead is a rebirth. She now has powers, belief and love.

Her and Shadow both have death hanging over their heads upon completion of their task (whatever that may be).

Laura will be a natural ally to the old gods as she has a dislike for technology (card shuffler, cameras, etc) and tried to circumvent their control. I originally thought that Laura purposely presented a bad plan for robbing the casino because she was disgusted to come home every night to someone who loved her. However, I have changed that feeling that it is Technology/Media that foiled the plan as they know Shadow will shift the power of the war should he ally with the old gods. My question is whether Laura is complicit with the new gods in foiling the plan.

This was not a great episode as it was just a background story. It was a little heavy handed with imagery with the Egyptian themed casino, cats, the egg, etc. One thing I didn't understand is Woody Woodpecker always playing in the background. I will have to look what role a woodpecker plays in mythology.

This show is so bizarre.

I'm already a couple of episodes behind. Gillian Anderson needs to be nominated for a supporting actress award for her work

It's sitting on my DVR again but have been busy. Never watch it the day it comes out as I tend to be swamped on Sunday's with family stuff. This time it was visting my father in law in the burbs. I'm not sure it is a binge watching type show to be honest. My attention tends to waver when I do that and I get a bit confused during this show as is sometimes. Maybe confused isn't the word but it is a bit thicker in content than some other shows.

There was just too much information stuffed into this last episode. I feel like I have to watch it again as they try to have three very distinct viewpoints of the eternal all mashing together with Mad Sweeny, Dead Wife and Gay Jin joining with each other.

Got half the way through and then had to take care of one of my boys. I'll get to it again tomorrow. It was pretty dense but there is something about the story that I'm enjoying. I thought the opening scene was a bit much b

which opening scene?
