I am happy to say I was one of the fortunate individuals who sat down to peruse Neil Gaiman’s American Gods epic before it was made into this astounding TV Show. The story pursues Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) an ongoing ex-con and child of hippies as he leaves prison, just to locate his reality flipped around. He keeps running into the strange Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) and the two leave on an extraordinary experience into America’s overlooked heartland and concealed spots. It’s not your normal TV appear or your normal dream, and I won’t ruin it anything else with synopsis than this barebones premise. Rather, here’s a bunch of reasons why you should watch the show.
“The only thing that scares me, is being forgotten.”
~ Mr. Wednesday, American Gods

SAVE YOURSELF!
The show genuinely puts resources into its glorious visuals — and it satisfies
It can’t be exaggerated exactly how magnificently rich and unusual this show is — which bodes well, given that it’s about a conflict between all-amazing, regularly exhausted divinities with nothing to lose. Each god has his or her own style, which comes through in everything from Media’s fresh popular culture entertainments to the Technical Boy’s trippy digitized limo to the shabby kitchen of Slavic goddess Zorya Vechernyaya (Cloris Leachman). At the point when Shadow falls into the grip of some god, we tumble directly with him into an entirely different world. Some of the time, those universes even incorporate wild ox with flaring eyes! Life is really a rich embroidered artwork when you’re riding with Gods. Yet, we likewise get the opportunity to see these Gods in their own components previously, amid, and after Shadow Moon’s presence. American Gods’ pilot includes a centuries-old Nordic fight, in which urgent men pay tribute to their god-like war god with their own showering blood. The second scene goes into the stomach of a slave transport made a beeline for America, when West African bug god Anansi (Jones) breaks the awful news that dark men will never really be free once they get to where they’re going. What’s more, in the present day, the show every so often veers off into story derails Gods living among the plebes, similar to the soaked fabulousness of Bilquis (Yetide Badaki). Her part in the general story is strange, however watching her draw sweethearts into the interminable territory of her own body with dingy talk and a smooth grin is compelling to the point that it scarcely appears to issue. Each casing, outfit, and bit of set structure on American Gods is painstakingly picked, in the two its pretentious scenes and in ones as apparently commonplace as when Shadow and Mr. Wednesday drive through the American heartland. You could delay this show at any minute and print the subsequent still as a notice — that is the means by which perfectly rendered it is.
You get to learn about new cultures and beliefs
Much the same as the book, “American Gods” is a versatile series about America and the Gods that individuals carried with them into the nation, and after that relinquished. “American Gods” also features a few other gods from Africa including Bilquis (Queen Sheba), The Jinn, Ibis and Anubis.
It’s unusual, exceptional and baffling
On the off chance that you like odd, at that point “American Gods” is the show for you. The show has got bunches of bizarre scenes that would abandon you delaying and considering.
There’s Bilquis, who gobbles individuals up with her vagina. Bilquis gulping her sweetheart through her vagina in the primary scene is all you have to realize that you’re in for an exceptionally peculiar eight-episode series.
American Gods is a story about immigrants
In contrast to most stories of immigrants, American Gods is less a story of individual people and more a story of the customs, history and, of course, gods of the immigrants, slaves and explorers who came to America. “This is the only country in the world that wonders what it is,” Mr. Wednesday muses. Perhaps that’s because American is made up of so many disparate pieces, so many stories and beliefs.
Beautiful Scenes
American Gods asks us to question our blind faith in technology
American Gods is the tale of a war fermenting between the Old Gods – those overlooked immigrant gods – and the New Gods: Media, Technology, Money. The things individuals used to adore and the things they revere now. These modest newcomers and brilliant calves, extra-large televisions and internet based life remain as a distinct difference to the agonizing, strange and unbelievable old gods, whose control originates from visually impaired regard and hard confidence, or now and then essentially need. American Gods is the sort of demonstrate that cheerfully tosses our PDA out the window.
