American Gods - Neil GaimansteemCreated with Sketch.

in mythology •  7 years ago 

I reviewed this book a few years ago Here and started to watch the TV series last night.

I really do need to read the book again because, for a change, the series seems to have a lot more detail than the book (as far as I remember).

I watched TWO episodes last night and would have watched more but all things in moderation (not really, I was too tired to watch any more and that would impact on my enjoyment).

I LOVE the story - Gods as physical entities are given their physical power because of humans' belief.

Terry Pratchett took that theory and ran with it too - GREAT idea!

I pegged Loki right off and Anansi is a character I remember from my childhood - Brer Rabbit

I'm looking forward to more of the series - I have to stop looking at the site I got the pictures from Here because, you know... SPOILERS!

I was trolled constantly on youtube about these series and the song they used made me to want see these series.

Without looking for it right now, I can't recall the song... Mind = blank lol

just found it: https://www.bustle.com/p/the-song-in-the-new-american-gods-trailer-perfectly-builds-excitement-for-the-tv-series-video-44770

"Deliver me (deliver me)
To the kingdom of my Lord
You are by my side
All my days
Please deliver me"

Wow! That's a little more energising than I'm used to first thing on a Saturday morning! LOL

just can't find even that 15 seconds video

The story itself is great man

It is. I especially enjoyed it because I like mythology too.

Glad to see another fan of the book/series! Indeed, the series develops a bit more the story and the characters and gives more details, which is perfect. Actually, its the first time i prefer the series/movie rather than the book :) A great first season, striking visuals, great references and ideas, a must seen! Here is my take on it: https://steemit.com/fiction/@herverisson/american-gods-the-best-thing-you-ll-see-on-tv

I'll check that out! Thanks!
