Day 375, Quasi-Quarantine: Resurgent "American Gods" May Be Finding Its Footing


After an uneven Season 2, I sort of assumed "American Gods" wouldn't earn a third season. 

However, Starz rolled the dice and doubled down, and I've recently undertaken the Season 3 experience of this Neil Gaiman-inspired show.

Led by the incomparable Ian McShane as Mr. Wednesday, the cast is driving an enthralling, compelling, bounce-back season. While the storyline that has run from the stellar first season all the way through is still there, this run has added elements of "Fargo" that have really rounded out the performances.

Four episodes in, I have high hopes (Marilyn Manson appearances notwithstanding) that the renewed energy in this season carries through to a worthy payoff.
