American Gods

In episode three, that bank... that was filmed downtown Guelph, about 5 minutes from our house. Chad and I got a bit excited when we heard about that. We both loved the book, but are waiting until after the last episode comes out before we binge it.

 

I'm was a little surprised that there's going to be a second season, seeing as it's a single book. However, after reading the episode synopses it doesn't seem like they'll be getting through the whole of the book in one season.

 

Dark Horse is also publishing a comic of American Gods. So many ways to consume it, which is somewhat ironic considering the New Gods...

I like it so far but it's one of those where I hope it is actually going somewhere because I have to keep stopping and explaining to Mina what's going on and I may not even be on the right track myself.

 

What I'm getting so far is that the gods are only around and powerful according to the amount of people who believe in them. That's nothing new in itself.

 

So the old gods are having a hard time of it.

 

I imagine the new gods are a metaphor for modern society and its worship of things material etc etc

 

Beyond that....it's funny in parts, violent in others and unpredictable, which is all good for me.
