What to Know

Critics Consensus

"A Murder of Gods" wades into politically charged storytelling while advancing American Gods' first-season arc -- and firmly establishing the show apart from its source material.

This week's episode, after the frenetic pace of last week, felt it meandered needlessly. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/19/2018
