American Gods retains its bombastic style but loses its divine inspiration in a derivative second season that, after a change in show-runners and even some crucial cast members, feels like a false idol. Read critic reviews

-
This season wasn't as good as the first, but it's still whimsical.
-
a pretty big step-back from the first season, a bit nervous to watch the third season
-
The slow paced show seems to continue to go slow while at the same time opening more doors. I Think it's setting up for a good season 3 while making us more interested in the side characters. Still a solid watch.
-
The first season contained many novel things that made this interesting … some surrealism, some slow reveal of enigmatic story elements. In the 2nd season those same things seemed to be amped up to the point of being annoying and distracting. They're losing me, though I'll give it another season.
-
Don't waste your time, especially if you were 50/50 on the first season. Non-sensical story, the gross-out maggot factor is higher (and pointless), the new gods they introduce are just filler and only brought in because they lost Gillian Anderson and the original show runners and it feels like they are trying to prove themselves whilst demonstrating that they haven't got any new ideas. I couldn't make it beyond episode 2 - I felt my willpower to watch draining away. Frankly, after Good Omens (which I read but only managed 1 episode of) and this, I'm not encouraged to read the book, and am feeling that Neil Gaiman is a rather overrated story teller.

Needs to push forward
-
Quality has dropped from season one, as most series do, and some of the artistic and story choices loss impact. The performances from McShane and Whittle remain strong, but Pablo Schreibers Mad Sweeney remains the stand out on screen.
-
Season 2 first half was decent but the second half was like a burlesque musical lol. I had to fast forward many parts because it was just so boring.
-
What the heck bro uh
-
I know people were down on Season 2 and Gillian Anderson's leaving was heartbreaking, but I gotta say, I loved the Laura Moon and Mad Sweeny story line.
