Despite the change in showrunners, “American Gods” still feels the same: a personal show with a unique tone, compelling visuals, and poor writing. The writing was already out of focus from the middle of the first season, and unfortunately, it kept getting worse and worse with each episode. The whole second season is a huge filler that kept adding characters and excuses for flashier visuals despite no one in the original cast having a clear purpose to begin with. Entire episodes are filled with empty monologues and quarrel that teach us nothing, and the little progression we had during the first season is put apart to preserve the status quo and stretch the source material to the limit. Most episodes felt like a waste of time, with the possible exception of the sixth and seventh.
