      Audience Reviews for American Gods: Season 1

      • Jun 24, 2023

        An ambitious show that on the whole is pulled off reasonably well. At times the story does fall flat and can't keep up with the visual splendor Fuller is trying to create.

      • Apr 01, 2023

        Série agressiva quanto aos valores e costumes tradicionais; além da confabulação entre os personagens que não cativa a ficar assistindo, essa série é de pornografia.

      • Feb 07, 2023

        atmospherish. kurzweilig.

      • Nov 22, 2022

        This is best season of my all time favorite TV show

      • Sep 05, 2022

        It had me intrigued and I thought it was fairly fast paced which kept my interest. The lore and the circumstances surrounding the characters are very interesting, season one is a good watch

      • Aug 21, 2022

        I was enthralled by the book but yawned at the show Mr wed is great casting but shadow doesn't cut it.

      • Aug 14, 2022

        It's slow paced but I believe this will be one series that sticks with me.

      • Oct 26, 2021

        The first season contained many novel things that made this interesting … some surrealism, some slow reveal of enigmatic story elements.

      • Aug 02, 2021

        On the plus side is a high production standard and a potentially interesting story. I didn't mind the explicit sex so much - when it was relevant to the story, which wasn't always clear. On the negative side it was a very slow moving plot with a lot of filler in the back stories, and the gross out level of revulsion in - particularly - the walking corpse who starts harbouring maggots. The last episode was a massive anti-climax and I'm not sure what the conclusion was meant to be. It's a show that thinks it's more clever than it actually is.

      • Jun 21, 2021

        A great adaptation of the book, with some truly interesting visual interpretations of the characters and events. Well worth the watch, for new comers and existing fans of the book.
