American Gods 2017

Season 1 was great and promising, telling a compelling story with fitting pictures. Season 2 however was already a mess in its first episode, starting with completely ignoring the huge event in the previous season finale, loosing some of its actors and replacing them with less charismatic ones. Season 3 continued on that course, loosing actors again and not even trying anymore to tell a story anyone would be interested in. Instead the showrunners try to fill the void with colorful special effects and supermodels having sex. Starting with s2e1, this show really became as boring and uninteresting as Ricky Whittle in his role as Shadow Moon. He and his nickname 'puppy' stand metaphorical for a story that has no idea where it is going or wants to go and unfortunately lacks a protagonist to lead it. Perhaps more investment in writers instead of visual effect designers would have helped.

I just finished the final episode of season 3 and am glad this show is over and I'm free of my self-imposed task to watch it all, even if it ended in a cliffhanger, that could have led to something interesting.
