      American Gods — Season 2

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      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.

      Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) What it lacks in terms of general drive, or things happening, it makes up for in ethereal tone. Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Fans of the first series should probably go back and enjoy that again immediately. Anticipation for the second will likely evaporate on contact. Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Stuart Jeffries Guardian The problem with this opener was that there was too little blood-drinking and head-lopping and too much plotsplaining. Rated: 2/5 Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Brian T. Carney Washington Blade Fans of Season One will be pleased to know that the second season maintains the high production standards and rather trippy sensibility of the first season. Dec 7, 2022 Full Review Jenna Anderson ComicBook.com With gorgeous visuals, a compelling ensemble, and an intriguing blend of old and new, the journey of American Gods feels truly unlike anything else on television at the moment. Rated: 4/5 Sep 10, 2019 Full Review Nick Blackshaw Starburst Overall, the series doesn't quite pack the same punch as the first, but still is in the spirit of Neil Gaiman's original work. Rated: 7/10 Jun 24, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Gareth v Well this show fell off a cliff pretty quickly. After an interesting 1st season where all the groundwork is laid, this should of been where it kicked up a gear. Instead it is a convoluted, boring mess. Really disappointing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Jake Z This season wasn't as good as the first, but it's still whimsical. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/22 Full Review Audience Member a pretty big step-back from the first season, a bit nervous to watch the third season Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review tom m 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
