Neil Gaiman's 'American Gods' being made into a 6 Series for HBO (1 Viewer)

Didn't think much of this. Acting and dialogue were awful and the music was shite. Blonde woman did some of the worst drunk acting I've ever seen at the graveside.

I liked it.

No better or worse than other "prestige" tv recently (e.g. westworld) imho

I mean, he put a fucking Leprechaun in it.

because irish people worship Leprechauns? Fuck offf

 

[nooleen]

do you not worship leprechauns?

 

[Lili Marlene]

You're not supposed to admit it

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Is the book as bad as the show because the show is fucking awful

It's a Neil Gaiman book. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It might be one of the better Neil Gaiman books, but it's not going to surprise you (if you have any feelings about his writing). The show is growing on me though!

I'm two episodes in and enjoying it including the over the top credits

Yep, really enjoyed this but the ending was a bit anticlimactic for what i suppose was meant to be a cliffhanger?

I thought emily browning was excellent in it. She does a passable irish accent.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Gave up after 2 episodes because it followed the book too closely and the book is a load of half thought out garbage.


I really like Stardust and Coraline though!

oh i liked the book. don't think the tv version follows it that closely. Dead Wife gets a lot more focus (i think?)
