iion-04932 I believe that this tv show is too boring. Waste of time!
cinemajesty Television Review: "American Gods" (2017)Here comes a newly-received television show based on Neil Gaiman's novel from 2001, which is continuously a joy-watch worthwhile from the very first episode directed by David Slade, known for features as "Hard Candy" (2005) starring Ellen Page & Patrick Wilson and the contemporary Vampire-Horror-Movie "30 Days of Night" (2007) starring Josh Hartnett & Danny Huston, when the character of Shadow just out Prison, portrayed by thrown-into-play actor Ray Whittle, meets the ancient-gods confronting Mr. Wednesday, performed by always-leisure-sharing actor Ian McShane.The two character travel together as side-kicking buddy couple through Shadow's subconscious in surreal color-forcing digital cinematographer by Jo Willems, know for collaborating with director Francis Lawrence in "The Hunger Games" movie series starring Jennifer Lawrence, letting the main character Shadow confronting his future, present and past in connection with his former death-seeking girlfriend Laura Moon, portrayed by match-making actress Emily Browning. Further supporting cast appearances include actor Crispin Glover as Mr. World, whose legendary characters in motion pictures as in David Lynch's "Wild At Heart", the Palme D'or winning ultimate surreal thriller from the year 1990.Some episode of "American Gods" may vary in suspense-drive, especially towards season 1 conclusions. Nevertheless this original television show, created by tv-format-approved writer/producer Bryan Fuller, and the first look distribution deal from Amazon Studios prime service makes the television filmmaking a piece of art, open for further exploration in an infinite imaginarium.FAZIT: Show recommended (thrilling) © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
Smoreni Zmaj I read the book back in 2004, so I'm not sure to what extent show follows its story-line and how much of the script is new. Some things are obviously added because they follow modern Hollywood trends and push through politically colored messages. The most obvious example is the choice of a black actor for the role of Shadow Moon, which opens the possibilities for the scene of lynching and similar politicization. But although politicization in adaptations of books, which originally don't bother with it, is really going on my nerves, these scenes are quite nicely integrated into the original story and, in my opinion, they more contribute to Gaiman's universe than they they turn the series from his way. Story is original, weird and holds attention. Show is visually fantastic and choice of actors and their performances are excellent. I can't say I'm thrilled, but I really like this show very much and I rated it same as the book.8/10
