Neil Gaiman's American Gods Coming To Starz

[Regular_P]

I couldn't even make it halfway through the book before giving up. Just a total slog, but I'll give this show a shot. It has an interesting premise with potential.

This could definitely be one of those exceptions where the show/movie is better than the book.

Is the Haitian from Heroes in this?

Isn't this on tonight? I don't have my premium cable package with Comcast anymore so I guess I'll be downloading this.

Haven't read the book yet. A girl in my local coffee that I chop it up with about books/comics swears by American Gods. She also lent me Sandman which I'm reading right now. Gaiman certainly knows how to build worlds so I'll be interested to see how this pans out

I've seen so many ads on the internet this past week I assumed it was this Sunday


Will be checking this out though. Looks promising

This is probably the most straight forward explanation I've seen...

American Gods is based on Neil Gaiman’s 2001 novel of the same namethat begins with the premise that gods live among us in America. In fact, there are two types of gods. The old, mythical gods — like Anansi, Odin, Easter — who arrived in America when their believers emigrated here years ago via Viking ships, slave ships, or what have you. Gods are fed by worship (not croissants, as some rappers may have led you to believe), which means the modern age hasn’t been nice on these old ones since belief in them has waned and, in many places, has been supplanted by our devotion to technology and celebrities. This change has led to the manifestation of new gods embodying these consumerist concerns; for example, Media, the goddess of TV. Thus, the stage is set for the main conflict in the series: A war between the old gods and the new gods.

McShane is perfect for this role.

This.
Once I saw him in the trailer I was hyped. Couldn't think of a better casting.
