I have to watch the new season, but the first one was amazing!
The book is really awesome but the adaptation was very good. Substituting the media by the tech guy as the most powerful new god was right on spot.
Also translating the images on the book to the screen was no easy job.
Also there is another series from Gaimam coming up.... Good Omens

Not out over here yet, but looking forward to it judging by the trailers.

Its cool..loads of British actors and I love the idea. My fav character is the Leprachaun. Book is better.

I watched the first series and enjoyed it. I believe the next one is coming down the pike and I'll watch it too. I understand it as meaning your god is whatever is most important to you but i can't always connect the stories to that meaning.

American Gods is one of my favorite books and while I found the show reasonably faithful as far as I watched it, it was not enjoyable to find myself comparing every frame to my memory of the novel. So I stopped.

My daughter and I have been watching it, since we both read the book. I was surprised at the look of the characters and the settings, as it wasn't how I imagined it when reading. We are enjoying it though.
