American Gods on Starz Wow!

It looks like Starz may really have a big hit with American Gods; it's Bryan Fuller based on the book by Neil Gaiman.

The cinematography, the colors, the cast...it's an all star cast. I didn't even know Kristin Chenowith had filmed this already (She plays Easter); this reunites her with the guy that helped get her her Emmys. If you've never seen Pushing Daisies, that is definitely a series to binge on. PD was really a great show too.

Bryan Fuller's work is unabashedly always, the best this, the best that, and great writing too.

American Gods (from gay showrunner Bryan Fuller) starts tonight on Starz.

Here's another background piece on the "Super Gay/Supernatural" characters that apparently are very hott-t both in on screen sexuality and also in representing a Middle Eastern LGBTQ character, as one of the lead storylines.

I don't know what I think of it yet but I am still with it, The reviews were not great.

Well, actually... the critics beg to differ...

I couldn't get through the first hour, it's strange but not in a good way

Is it as confusing as the novel?

javero said: "I'm out...too graphic. I wasn't familiar with the novel beforehand.



Was it the scene where Bilquis is "whoreshipped"? There aren't any more scene's like that. Most guy's r pretty put off by that scene. ( I think it may be a latent fear of a lot o men)

The gay sex was actually reshot to make it more intense.

It's fairly true to the book which is weird but I think in a good way.

I never found the book that confusing ( ok a lil bit re Shadow's wife)

I like the way it pushed boundaries but even Gaiman backed off re put J Christ in the book.

That will be corrected in the series and then I spect the proverbial will hit the fan.



"

It's so weird, gross and altogether riveting.

The hour just flew by in the most recent episode.

I feel like Tony Kushner and Gabriel García Márquez would watch the sh*t outta this show.

Gillian Anderson as media is truely a highlight. I can't wait to see what/how she shows up next!

It took Starz a few tries, but it looks like they finally have a big hit.

"Get out of my house you Zombie whore!"

Wow! I was just able to catch up on the season finale of "American Gods" and boy! It did not disappoint.

The gods all descended on Easter's (Kristin Chenowith) estate complete with huge pink bunnies and a chorus line of dancing spirit gods. Ian McShane reveals that he is Odin; Media (Gillian Anderson) shows up to challenge them....really great special effects. KC has a field day playing Easter; she is a lot of fun in the role; the special effects pop with Jesuses, bunnies and candy. Shadow's dead wife arrives. The gods are challenging our morality and the stage is set for next season.

The show get pretty ethereal and spiritual but, imo, it is so visual and entertaining. I'm sure the Emmy nominations will come their way. Starz produced a good one this time.
