Critics Consensus

"Donar the Great" gives the Gods a bit of their groove back, but the shows withholding nature continues to try even the most devout viewers patience.

It's not divine, but in Donar The Great, American Gods has got its swagger back. Go to Full Review
Matt Morrison Screen Rant 04/22/2019
In addition to further establishing the history of American Gods' reality, this also shows audiences that an active decision to end their existence can permanently kill a god as easily as human apathy. Go to Full Review

3.7/5.0
On the one hand, it was an entertaining weaving of past and present, showing us how Wednesday's single-minded drive for power has spanned generations. On the other hand, not a lot happened to further the story in the present-day. Go to Full Review
